Email Verifier by Email Checker
Rating: 3.4 (21 reviews)
Price: from $15; free options
Another tool that is presented as a browser extension, but is actually a browser application. However, it’s free! But there is a restriction: you can only verify emails manually one by one. So, if you have a list of email addresses, you’ll have to spend forever and a day on verification.

Grammarly
Rating: 4.6

This is one of my favorite extensions. I use it every day and have it installed on both my laptop at work and my home computer. It works on pretty much any page, including Google Docs and Gmail, underlining every typo and mistake in your text, making it a must-have extension for any professional.
The extension analyzes grammar, spelling, and punctuation and points out mistakes to make sure a simple typo doesn’t ruin people’s impression of you. It also has a couple of additional features you might find useful: you can double-click on a word and see its definitions and the most common synonyms.
For now, the extension is still in beta-version and sometimes acts out, but all in all, it’s a must-have tool for everyone, whether you are a content writer, an email marketer, or a professional communicating with partners and clients.
