I have been using chrome extensions for some time now. I’ve tried and tested various extensions. While some continued to remain installed in some corners, some have proved to be useful.

Here is a list of extensions that I find useful and you might too.

1. Smallpdf

The one-stop solution, be it converting from docs to pdf or making a pdf of all the images(useful when you end up taking screenshot-based notes from a video).
It also comes with other features like compressing and merging pdfs.

You can install it from here.

2. Kami

While you read a pdf online, this is something that can come in handy to annotate, mark, and highlight. You can also connect it with your Google Classroom and Google drive.

You can install it from here.

3. Grammarly

This one is quite popular. A true Grammar Nazi for your presentations, essays, Research Papers, or anything.
The free version corrects grammatical errors including spelling errors and also scores the text on basis of clarity and engagement.
Plagiarism check and some other features are there in the Premium version.

You can install it from here.

4. AdBlock

Pretty useful if you too are frustrated with all the ads, be it youtube ads or ads that come while you try to read some content on a website like this 👀

You can install it from here.

5. eyeCare

Last but not the least, something with long-term benefits.

It gives a notification every 20 minutes to take a break. You can customize time according to your own wish and also it suggests some eye exercises. :-)

You can install it from here.

I hope you find this useful and if there is something that I am missing out on,you can let me know in the comments below :-D.
