Must-have Google Chrome add-ons
If you're among those switching to Google's browser, you'll find add-ons enriching your browsing experience. Here are 10 more essential add-ons, many exclusive to Chrome, that are sure to please and help you with your day-to-day online activity.
StayFocusd
When it comes to productivity, you are often your own worst enemy. StayFocusd can help. It lets you set a daily time limit for browsing time-wasting websites of your choosing; once your allotted time is up, the sites are blocked until the following day.
Chrome to iPhone or Google Chrome to Phone
Both send links, images, phone numbers and other important information right to your smartphone when you click on an in-browser button. With push notifications, the ability to set default actions for different data types and multiple handset support, they help streamline your digital life.
Things to Do
The add-on makes your duties inescapable by turning Chrome's New Tab page into a customizable to-do list. Each bullet point on your list can be dragged to a new position for easy prioritizing. Editing and deleting items is as simple as just clicking on them.
SpeakIt!
Multitaskers, meet your new best friend. Install SpeakIt!, highlight on-screen text on a non-encrypted Web page and click the SpeakIt! toolbar button to hear the text read aloud to you while you get work done. It's also a great add-on for eye-strained Web users in need of relief.
AddThis
AddThis is your one-stop shop for all things sharing. Click the in-browser AddThis button and you'll be able to broadcast content to over 300 different Web services. That simple browser button lets you tweet, share or email links without the hassle of switching between pages.
