Additional services and extensions that are designed to help people cope with important and not so important tasks. We have selected only 12 browser add-ons and we are sure that they will help you in the hard work of sitting at the computer. These extensions are radically different in capabilities and functionality, but with them your life will become a little, but easier.
Highly Highlighter
The incredible flow of information that we receive from the Web can absorb us if we do not learn to isolate the main, necessary and useful information from it. The Highly extension allows you to mark important pieces of text, save them, combine them under one topic, share notes with other users by sending files or posting on social networks. With Highly, it will become easy for you to debug information for further, detailed and thoughtful analysis and always have at hand what you need, and not a mountain of additional useless content.
speed test
Surely you know the Speedtest program and maybe even use it on your devices. But the creators of the Internet speed counter went further and made their browser extension. Now it has become much easier to measure the speed of the Network - click on the extension button on the Google Chrome panel, where in the pop-up window you need to press the familiar “Forward!” key. Moreover, the program measures not only the speed of the Internet, but also shows data on the site you need. The information received can even be boasted on social networks.
Downloads
Google Chrome has both a number of advantages and a mountain of disadvantages. One of them, in our opinion, is the browser downloads page. Downloadable files appear on the bottom panel, and if you click on them, then for some reason we are thrown to a separate page with downloaded data. The Downloads app adds a download bar to Chrome similar to the one found in Mozilla Firefox. Now the list of files can be seen in a small convenient window directly on the open page, you just need to click on the arrow on the extensions panel.
LastPass: Free Password Manager
LastPass is a user-friendly password manager that advanced geeks use on both computers and smartphones and tablets. The essence of the service is that after creating an account, where you specify all the services that you use, be it mail, a file manager or something else, the program saves digital passwords to all your accounts. And when you enter somewhere, you do not need to remember a forgotten password, because it will automatically substitute the correct one. The result - remember only one super password to log into all accounts.
pushbullet
Sometimes, when traveling to the country, work or meeting with friends, we find interesting material or a file that will come in handy later. Or maybe we found out an important address, a contact, created a useful note, or dictated the results of the meeting into a voice recorder. The Pushbullet service allows you to transfer the necessary information in the blink of an eye, from a computer to a smartphone or tablet and vice versa. You put the application on the device, then install this extension and any data is on all your gadgets in a matter of seconds. All you have to do is press the green button.
Save to Pocket
In a day on the Internet, we read, well, or let's admit it, at least we just open it, dozens if not hundreds of news, articles, reports and a lot of other content that interests us. Among the general flow of junk, sometimes there is a useful article, blog, video or any other information that we would like to read or study thoroughly later, because now there is no time / not a good time / the boss was only five minutes away / the child will wake up soon / need to finish the project on time and so on and so forth. It is for such cases that the Pocket application exists. By installing the extension and registering on the official website, you can send the materials you are interested in with one button to your personal database, divided into categories, tags, tags and labels that are understandable only to you. And the application on Android and iOS will make any device useful.
SimpleExtManager
Thousands of extensions and add-ons have been created for the Google Chrome browser. When a user surfs through the Chrome App Store, they find a ton of useful apps. Most of them he turns on several times and forgets, and only a few he uses constantly. And installed, but forgotten programs take up space and resources. It is for the management and prevention of such extensions that SimpleExtManager was created. The program will allow you to disable, remove and interact with add-ons that you need or do not need at that moment, thereby unloading the work of the browser and the system as a whole.
Xtranslate
No matter how convenient the translator built into the browser is, the XTranslate extension will allow you to translate the text of interest or part of it much faster. What do you usually do in such situations? Right-click and select "Translate to...". After a few seconds of hard work, the browser produces a translation of the page. With the XTranslate extension, it is enough to select the desired part of the text with the mouse and immediately get the translation. In the settings, you can select one of the presented translation sources: Google, Yandex or Bing.
readism
Once again, let us return to the large flow of information that a modern person passes through himself in a day. Often we come across interesting material that we would like to read, but laziness, or little time, and we are afraid not to have time to read it to the end, and therefore, we see no reason to even start. Readism considers the average time that you spend reading a particular material as an extension and displays this information in a small window. Now you will always know how long it will take to get acquainted with any amount of information. In the settings, you can set your reading speed for a more accurate calculation and set a convenient place for you to display the information window.
Sideplayer
If you use the service for study, work, training, or just for fun, then the Sideplayer extension will allow you to watch videos even if you go to another site. On the newly opened page, the video will appear in a small window, and its size and specific position is customized for the user. Feel free to turn on the video you like and calmly continue to “surf” the Internet, and it will follow you wherever you go.
YouTube Picture in Picture
Another extension related to YouTube. The Picture in Picture application gives the desktop version of the popular video service a useful and convenient mobile application function - any video turned on by the user is played in a small window in the lower right corner of the screen. Now you can search for cool or popular videos on YouTube, read comments under them, subscribe to the channels you like, and in the lower right corner, the latest videos you have turned on will always play without interruption.
Mata
Often the owners of computers sit at them at night for a flight. The eyes get tired of the screens within 15 minutes, and in the dark they are also very sensitive to light. Therefore, when it is dark around, the bright light from the monitor not only strains the eyes, but also gradually makes us blind. Yes, some displays have night reading functions and all kinds of image filters in the settings, but this all loses to the standard and simple night mode, which is in smartphones, tablets, and is even present in
Sooner or later, each Internet user is not enough of the standard set of functions that browsers provide. I want to make my work on the Internet more efficient, simple and convenient.
In this article, I will tell you how you can achieve this with the help of special browser extensions and add-ons.
I just want to make you happy. All the browser extensions that we will cover are FREE, and their installation does not require any special knowledge and skills from you.
Extensions for which browser(s) are we considering?
1) Extensions for Yandex Browser (Yandex)
2) Extensions for Google Chrome (Google Chrome)
3) Extensions for Opera (Opera)
Why these particular browsers? Yes, because they all work on the basis of the WebKit engine, respectively, they all support the work of extensions from the Google Chrome store.
This is a site that is a catalog of extensions for browsers such as Google Chrome, Yandex Browser, Opera (from version 15 and higher) and other assemblies based on the Chromium browser.
Add-ons and extensions for Yandex Browser and Opera are also installed from the Google Chrome extension store. And all because these browsers are fully compatible (interchangeable) in terms of working platforms for third-party applications.
In my opinion, it is very convenient when all extensions and add-ons are in one place.
Firstly, it systematizes all existing applications and provides the end user with an extensive choice (for every taste). You do not need to spend hours looking for a suitable add-on for Chrome or an extension for Yandex Browser, everything you need can be found in just five minutes!
Secondly, you can immediately see the rating of applications and user reviews, on the basis of which you can decide whether you should download a specific application for the browser at all, or it is still better to look for a more successful analogue (with more functionality and better stability).
My list of the best extensions for Yandex Browser and Google Chrome
Below you will find a collection of the best, in my opinion, extensions for Yandex browser and Google Chrome, and you can also download them for FREE:
Tired of ads on websites? Annoyed by pop-up windows and flashing banners? Adblock Plus will save you from this torment. This extension cuts out ads on sites, speeding up the loading of the site itself and saving your traffic. For me, this is one of the most important browser extensions, I always install it first. I also like that you can leave “some unobtrusive ads” in the application settings, because. I don’t mind and sometimes I’m even glad to see contextual advertising (sometimes I come across really useful ads).
If necessary, the extension for Yandex browser Adblock Plus can be automatically disabled on the specified sites. For example, you have your own site, and you want to always see what ads are broadcast on it - just set the address of your site to exceptions and voila (!) - ads will be disabled on all sites except yours.
Even more ways to disable ads on the Internet.
This is an extension for Yandex browser (Google Chrome, Opera) Vkontakte (vk, vk). With it, you can significantly increase the standard functionality of this social network. You will be able to download music and download videos from the Vkontakte network, you will be able to track which of your friends has left and who has been added recently, and much, much more ...
In general, I tried a lot of extensions and add-ons for VK (Vkontakte), but it was VkOpt that turned out to be the best application. It can do what others cannot, it is regularly updated and does not interfere at all when using vk (VKontakte).
3) Site statistics from LiveInternet.ru(download)
If you are promoting websites, advertising on the Internet, or just running your website and you care about its popularity, then you just need to install the browser extension from LiveInternet. This add-on shows LiveInternet statistics (the number of unique site visits for certain periods: day, week, month).
Only you should be aware of one feature: traffic statics is shown only for those sites that have a LiveInternet hit counter installed. Fortunately, it is installed on most Russian-language sites. So - use, study and, if necessary, spy on the success of others =)
Another extension for Google Chrome (Yandex Browser, Opera and the like ...), which is useful to absolutely every webmaster. Able to show TIC and PR of the site, tell about the number of indexed pages by Yandex and Google, as well as the number of indexed pictures on the site (also by both search engines). Able to track the presence of a site in the Yandex Catalog and the Dmoz catalog, monitors the rating indicators of Alex Rang, SEMRush and LiveInternet. It can even show you the number of incoming and outgoing links to the site according to Solomono statistics (now the service is called LinkPad).
5) TinEye Reverse Image Search(download)
Another extremely necessary, in my opinion, browser add-on that allows you to find duplicates (copies) of pictures on the Internet. With TinEye Reverse Image Search, you can track exactly who is stealing your pictures (photos), or check if there are duplicates of a particular image on the Internet (learn more about the uniqueness of content: text and pictures).
6) Image Properties Context(download)
A small and very handy extension for webmasters (and bloggers). Adds to the context menu (by pressing the right mouse button) an item for viewing the properties of images published on sites (their size, placement path, resolution, etc.).
You can download this Chrome extension from the link above.
7) Chromium Wheel Smooth Scroller(download)
Another extension for Chrome and Yandex browser, which makes page scrolling (scrolling) smooth, instead of the standard jumping. A very practical and useful feature. Browsing websites becomes more pleasant, and reading text is much more convenient.
This browser extension can adjust to the pace of sliding through the pages of the site you need (it is set in the extension settings), and this cannot but rejoice. After all, each person works at a computer at a different speed. Inexperienced PC users work more slowly, and more experienced ones, respectively, faster.
Well, the last extension for Chrome, as well as other browsers that support extensions from the Google Chrome store, will be indispensable for webmasters and seo optimizers called - Realtime Yandex update monitor, and, as you probably already guessed by the name, this extension monitors ( regularly checks) and informs the user about updates to search results in Yandex, as well as updates to the Yandex Catalog.
It is very convenient to track changes in the position of your site after each search update. I advise everyone who is not indifferent to the attendance of their own site.
P.S.
To download extensions for Google Chrome and Yandex Browser - just click on the "download" link next to the add-on you need. Next, you will be automatically redirected to the add-on download page, where you can not only download it yourself, but also see its rating, as well as reviews from users who have already installed this extension.
And to have a convenient browser means to work productively and quickly with the Internet network. One of the most popular, which in 2015 was preferred by 61% of network users. However, this program is aimed at general work and does not include various auxiliary functions for performing narrower tasks. Therefore, there is a special Google Chrome store ( chrome.google.com/webstore/category/apps), where you can purchase a variety of additional tools, the so-called extensions for Google Chrome, which can greatly simplify the user's work on the Internet. Below is a list of the most popular add-ons that you may find useful.
To work with SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
1. RDS bar is the most used SEO tool. The TIC of the site you are currently on is displayed on the plugin icon. By clicking on the icon, you can get the following information about the site:
TIC and PR indicators;
The number of pages indexed by Yandex, Google and Bing;
The number of pages that were included in Yandex, Google, Bing, Yahoo and Rambler searches;
The presence of the site in the DMOZ and Yandex.Catalog catalogs;
Attendance indicators for the selected period;
The presence of robots.txt and sitemap.xml in the root of the site.
The plugin is constantly updated and soon the developers promise a serious expansion of capabilities.
2. SEOquake. This plugin is aimed at obtaining indicators such as Google indexing and PR, Yahoo links, Bing index, Alexa Rank, Whois links, displaying Nofollow links and others. All information is displayed above the site during the search, or in the top bar of the browser, without requiring additional movements from the user, which makes it convenient to use.
3. META SEO inspector is the best Google Chrome plugin for working with meta tags. If you have ever dealt with manually filling in the title and meta data on your site, then you know how laborious it is. META SEO inspector displays all installed meta tags at the top of the page, which will allow you to identify those that, for some reason, were not registered.
4. Stats Checker for Google Analytics is a simple application that, using your Google Analytics account, displays all the information about your site's traffic when you click on its icon.
5. MegaIndex Bar is a plugin similar to RDS bar. Provides information on the main SEO indicators of the site: indexing in Google and Yandex, TIC and Pr, availability in the Yandex.catalog. Provides access to services for promotion, audit, analysis of the visibility and performance of the site.

Allows you to quickly download form analytics, a link and click map, access reports and create counters with one click.
7. Yandex Wordstat Helper is another plugin that makes it easier to work with such a Yandex service as Wordstat (word selection). With it, you can conveniently select words and phrases by choosing from a ready-made list at the touch of a button, as well as create your own lists with the frequency of requests in programs such as OpenOffice Calc and others.
8. Realtime Yandex update monitor. This extension is designed to monitor all updates made by Yandex. In case of any update, the program will notify the user about all kinds of updates, for example, changes in the TIC or search results positions. The information is provided by the SEOBudget service. Also, during installation, the application will be able to inform the user about the last three updates.
For text translation
1. Bubble Translate is an easy-to-use translator with lots of settings. Once you have set the parameters you need, you can no longer enter the plugin menu. To translate, just select the desired word or piece of text and press "Ctrl".
2. Instant Translate. Unlike the previous translator, this extension has wide functionality. There are more than 60 languages in the Instant Translate database and a large number of synonyms for translated words. It is also able to reproduce both the original word and its translation, translate PDF files online, save the history of translations, and allows you to set up to 9 different key combinations for translation into different languages.
For social networks, retweet and bookmarks
1. AddThis - Share & Bookmark (new). A useful browser add-on that works with a large number of social networks: Facebook, Twitter, Google, MSN Messenger, MySpace, Delicious, Vkontakte, Gmail, Blogger, Yahoo Mail, Tumblr, Mail.ru and others. Allows you to easily and quickly share records, that is, retweet, and add pages to bookmarks.
2. goo.gl URL Shortener - in addition to all the abilities that AddThis has, this extension for Google Chrome allows you to shorten page links. This feature will be useful for users of social networks, where the size of the input message is limited. It is known that many links have a considerable length, which significantly limits the number of characters for the message itself, for example, a post on Twitter (no more than 140 characters) - it is to solve this problem that the goo.gl URL Shortener was created.
Google Chrome extensions for downloading files
SaveFrom.net is the best plugin of its kind that allows you to download files from social networks and multimedia sites in one click, including YouTube, VK, Facebook, Odnoklassniki, Vimeo, RapidShare.
To take screenshots
1. Pixlr Grabber is a real photoshop built into your browser. With it, you can not only edit photos taken from the screen, but also apply various filters to them. It is also capable of taking pictures of a selected part of the screen, and the screenshots taken can be sent to some social networks, such as Facebook.
2. Joxi is a quick and easy screenshot plugin. It can take pictures of the entire page, save the picture to the hosting (users are provided with 1 GB of memory), as well as edit the screen - create annotations and draw arrows.
Despite the usefulness of all the aforementioned plugins for Google Chrome, it is worth taking into account that each one requires a certain percentage of computer resources to work. Therefore, you should reduce the number of extensions to a minimum, leaving the most necessary ones, otherwise the performance of the computer may suffer.

Hi all. I am often asked about extensions for google chrome, and the questions are quite standard - where are they located, how to enable or disable them, how to configure, etc. In this article, we will consider the basic configuration of extensions. When I first started using this new browser for me, I did not like it because it was too simple in terms of capabilities. But over time, it got better and better, and I couldn't resist switching to it.
Extensions for Google Chrome are called by many different names, often referred to as plugins or add-ons, and sometimes as applications. Although, applications are a separate category in the Google Web Store, which are most often links to other websites, or games, and have nothing to do with extensions.
Where are extensions for Google Chrome located?
I already wrote about where to look for extensions and how to install them in . To go to the extensions tab, you need to go to the browser menu, then select " Tools", then click on the item" Extensions»:
You can go to the extensions in two more ways - go to the browser history or go to its settings. In both cases, you can see the History/Extensions/Settings trio on the left. You can also right-click the extension's icon and select "Settings" if available for the plugin.
How to enable, disable, remove and update plugins for Google Chrome.
Disabling or removing extensions is very simple. Look at the picture below. If you right-click on a plugin, you can choose what to do with it from the context menu.
If the plugin has settings, you can access them by clicking on the appropriate item. To completely remove the extension from Google Chrome, you need to click on the item " Delete”, to disable – “ Disable". Paragraph " Hide button" allows you to hide the extension from the panel, but it will continue to work.
To delete hidden extension, you need to go to the extensions tab and click on the trash can icon. Here you can also change plugin settings and specify whether they can work in Incognito mode or not. By default they can't.
Paragraph " Settings” allows you to change the add-on options, if any. There are such simple plugins that they don't even have settings. Most of them have them, for example, as in a plugin for translating text or an extension for setting up smooth scrolling in Google Chrome - — Do you want the pages to scroll smoothly?
The question often arises how to update plugins for google chrome? To which I will answer you that you do not need to update them. They update themselves in the background, without your participation. It's the same with updating Google Chrome itself - it also updates itself silently in the background, which is a convenient solution.
If you have plugins not installed from the web store, then you need to do the following: in the "My Documents" folder, create the "Downloads" folder. After that everything should work. If desired, you can then move the folder for downloaded files to another convenient location.
I would like to add a few words about
Almost all plugins that work in Google Chrome will work in Yandex Browser, Chromium, Mail.ru browser and other variations of Google Chrome. Therefore, do not specifically look for plugins for Yandex Browser or the like, know that in most cases the plugins will work in all these browsers.
