Extensions That Help

The Chrome Web Store

Open chrome.google.com/webstore to browse extensions and themes. Install is one click; most appear as a toolbar icon with options behind a right-click.

Developer Favorites

• Password managers - Keep, Bitwarden (with built-in handling).
• React/Vue DevTools - Inspect component trees.
• JSON viewers - Format API responses.
• Grammarly / spell-check - Writing support.
• Tab managers - Session and tab-saving.

Managing Permissions

Right-click an extension > Inspect to see the permissions it requested. Remove anything unnecessary via Extensions (chrome://extensions) and toggle site access per extension.

Power User Features

Extensions can run unpacked (developer mode) for side-loaded local tools. Group them by profile, and use shortcut keys to launch often-used ones.

Key Points

• The store is the one-stop extension source.
• Check permissions before trusting extensions.
• Developer mode loads local unpacked extensions.
• Profiles keep extension sets separate.
