Hello World πŸ‘‹

Glad to see you again! 😊

"The most efficient people aren't necessarily brilliant – they've just found strategies to beat procrastination."

We always want to be productive and efficient in our work whether it be programming or day-to-day tasks but this world is full of technology and it is very much possible that we may get distracted due to it. It’s tempting to look at highly productive people as machines but by studying how they work efficiently and overcome the challenges, it’s possible to boost our own productivity as well. So, to stay consistent and spend time efficiently, I have listed down some productivity chrome extensions that you must have on your machine.

10 Best Productivity Chrome Extensions


1. GoFullPage πŸ“ƒ

GoFullPage as the name tells is one of the best screenshot-taking tools on the internet. It takes a screenshot of an entire webpage within seconds and is very simple. It scrolls down the entire webpage from start to the end itself and stitches screenshots automatically giving you an option to download it as an image πŸ“· or in the form of a pdf πŸ“„. This great tool can save a lot of time ⏳ as it requires just a click instead of manually taking screenshots and scrolling the webpage again and again. Yes, this extension is free.😊

2. Noisli 🎧

Noisli is one of my favorites extensions out there. With the increasing noise pollution around us, it's difficult to focus on our work but this extension helps us out in focusing. What better it could be than listening to the voices of nature 🌳 sitting on our chair at home instead of noisy horns that distract us. So, just grab your headphones and enter the world of nature 🌲 and enjoy your work in a good mood and productiveness πŸ˜ƒ. It's free for the basic version but some features require a subscription.

3. OneTab πŸ—ƒ

A lot of people like me open a ton of websites on Chrome and in the end get frustrated due to Chrome eating up all of our memory πŸ˜‚ but you don't need to worry about it now. OneTab is a great extension that you must have on your machine to save up to 95% memory and reduce tab clutter. I have been using it for more than a year now and it has helped me a lot. Click on the icon directly if you want to add all tabs to OneTab or right-click and add specific tabs according to your needs. You can even share the list by creating a link that you can simply open on any browser without any sign-in. It's simple and free to use. πŸ˜„
