Ever surf the web? Do you routinely follow multiple blogs, or regularly check for updates on your favorite sites? Perhaps you’ve always been looking for that legendary edge that will extend your fitness as perusing the information superhighway. If Google Chrome is your web-browser of choice, these 3 (and free) tech-savvy extensions are sure to increase productivity in a way that will redefine your user experience.
At the top of our list: Project Naptha. Via sophisticated algorithms, this Google-Chrome Extension allows you to quite simply highlight, copy and paste—even edit and translate—the text of any image within your browser window. For purposes of research and development—or the occasional survey of Instagram—this extension is a sure go-to.
If you enjoy following blogs, or keep a regular watch on news sites for updates, Page Monitor is your perfect fit. Once installed, a user can visit any webpage, open the extension and simply select: ‘Monitor This Page’. Whenever the page changes, a Page Monitor Icon displays a badge notification. No longer is there any need to go out of your way to refresh a website.
Text-Only Mode is the third Google-Chrome Extension, as well the one that is guaranteed to transcend your browsing experience from ‘standard’ to ‘swift.’ When enabled, the extension preserves a page’s layout and colors, while images and multimedia are entirely removed. For purposes of multitasking or rapid-navigation between multiple tabs, there is no replacement.
Google-Chrome Extensions are all about customizing the way by which we interface on the WWW. Whether keeping you on the edge of what’s happening, or allowing you to retrieve information from a picture, these tools are designed for rendering your needs as top-priority. If you’ve never installed a Google-Chrome Extension, now is the perfect time to give it a shot—stay steadfast.
