Well, these days we are able to do everything online.

We often have to do a lot of work every day using our laptop. And I would like to share some of the chrome extensions that have helped me during this lockdown time.

Cold Turkey Blocker

Well, we all cannot deny the fact that we often get distracted by Instagram, Facebook or Twitter (or any social media app), and we forget to work and keep scrolling.

To solve this problem, I think downloading the “Cold Turkey Blocker” is the best. Link: Click.

What does it do?

Cold Turkey Blocker is an online application that you can download and add the extension to any browser you use (usually Edge and Chrome). All you have to do is add all the websites you want to block into the blocked list and make the list active.

It will block all the websites you entered in the list for the time you want. This is an absolute saviour during exams or if you have any deadlines coming up.

Liner

You might be a student or a working individual and have had trouble with highlighting text online. I understand, not all websites have the feature of highlighting.

To solve this bothersome problem, add the ‘Liner’ extension to your browser. Link: Click

What does it do?

Well, using this extension will make your work less tedious. You won’t have to scroll through Google just to find trusted articles. Liner will do that for you!

All you have to do is add the Liner extension to your browser and start using it. You can also use it to mark important points of a YouTube video.

This application really saves a lot of time as you don’t have to read the whole article or even search all of Google to find a trusted source for information. You can scan the search and receive exactly what you want from trusted domains.

Liner also saves all of your highlights in the dashboard of your account, which makes it easier to access all your highlights.

Screencastify

Many people need to edit videos for school work or to post on YouTube. And it takes a lot of time to set up a webcam and then a mic separately. We then have to connect both of them. Well, this is a lot of work.

Instead, add the Screencastify extension to your browser, Link is here.

What does it do?

Screencastify is an online web extension that allows you to share and record your screen while it can also record your webcam simultaneously. You can make a full-length video and then edit it as well.

It is a very easy-to-use application where you can just switch on and start creating videos. You can annotate your screen and all of this will also be included in the video recording.

Screencastify helps you create videos easily. It is very helpful for educational content creators who cannot go to their studios. They can sit at home and teach instead.

Askify

I am a student. So that means, my life during my classes is write, screenshot, write, screenshot, write, screenshot, screenshot…As a student, you take a lot of screenshots and then these screenshots take up a lot of space on your desktop!

Instead, Askify allows you to take screenshots easily and does much more right here. Click here.

What does it do?

Askify is an online extension that allows you to take notes and screenshots in a faster and much easier way. This product has helped me a lot. You don’t have to press multiple keys while watching a video on YouTube, just press take notes below the video once you add this extension.

Askify allows you to take notes, take screenshots, add timestamps, export all your notes in PDF format and so much more. You need not open your notebook, your Docs or anything else to take notes.

You just need Askify! This extension is mostly used for taking notes on YouTube as it is a widely used platform.

Momentum

Do you need a simple to-do list? Do you need a nice calming background on your browser? Do you need a motivational quote to make you feel good in the morning?. Use Momentum.

Then why not add the Momentum extension on your Chrome browser right here. Extension link right here too.

What does it do?

Well, we all have experienced days when we feel unmotivated and hopeless. Momentum changes that. Momentum is an online extension for your browser to personalize your experience with your browser and also helps in making to-do lists.

You do not need a notebook to make your to-do lists. You can create a list on Momentum and cross it out every time you finish the task. There is also a Pomodoro timer in the Plus version and you can add the main task for the day.

Momentum just makes your browser a more aesthetic and personalized place rather than just your search engine. It makes you want to study or work.

I hope you found this article informative and it helped you in some way. I hope you liked this post and I will keep you updated every week…

Until then, Goodbye!
