Top 5 google chrome extensions for heavy content watching/reading users?
Are you one of those who browses youtube and time just flies away?
Or you read a lot of blogs on the internet and just gets lost with the content?
I am not here for “gyaan” about how to get rid of that, but I am here to help you with enhancing your video watching experience and at the same time make you productive.
Invideo for Youtube
As the name suggests, it helps you search the content you really are looking for inside the video. It searches the subtitles of the video to help you just watch the content that you really want to watch.
I am in love with this extension it saves me a lot of time and I can browse a lot of videos in a short span of time.
You can easily browse through lengthy videos in just few minutes.
Turn off the lights
The name just suggests, it just turns off the lights from everything else other than the video on any web page.
This works with all well known video websites like youtube, netflix, facebook, twitch, hulu, Vimeo etc.
Stylish
It just creates your web browsing very stylish, It has some themes that you can install on some of your favorite websites like Facebook, Reddit, Google, Twitter, Quora etc.
✔ Search Engines — Google, Baidu, Yahoo
✔ Email — Gmail themes style & personalize your email to your liking
✔ Social Networks — Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, WeChat, and even Whatsapp themes!
✔ Developer Sites — Stackoverflow, Github, JIRA, Thunderbird
✔ Browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Baidu
✔ Youtube Themes — Stream videos night and day with your favorite Youtube skins.
Developer tips: You can create your own themes and submit to stylish.
InstaPaper
Sometimes when reading a lot, we just do not feel like stopping but life sucks :P
This extension helps you to save them for later reading and moreover it provides a very simple, minimalist and beautiful user interface. Best part is it works on almost all major mobile platforms like iOS, android, kindle etc.
There are some similar extensions that I love
Pocket — Save articles for later but I liked Instapaper more for its simplicity and great user interface.
ReaderView — Simplifies the blog post and ignores everything other than the meaningful text.
But Instapaper is a jack of all trades so you can just install Instapaper, but definitely give other ones a try :-)
HoverZoom
Sometimes there is a lot to view on a webpage but we feel so lazy that we just exit. What if I tell you that hoverzoom lets you preview the images, videos, thumbnails just by hovering over those (taking mouse over those elements). You do not need to click the images/videos before actually checking them out and it will save you a lot of time.
Those were some wonderful extensions that can make your browsing experience buttery smooth and at the same time you are productive also.
You can thank me later for saving your time, go give them all a try and choose what works well for you.
Hit clap if you like the post and share it with your friends.
Considering following me and Better world for productivity, life lessons and motivational daily digest.
Happy browsing !!!
