Top 7 Chrome Extensions to Transform Your Work Experience

Earth View is one of my favourite extensions. I usually give this extension the top-priority because whenever we open a new tab, this add-on displays a beautiful image photographed by satellite. The photo shown is chosen randomly: there are urban landscapes, canyons, beaches and even volcanoes. We can also know the image which is showing up by simply clicking on the small globe that is located just on the lower right.

2. Currently

If one loves simple and minimalist theme, then this one is made for him/her. Surprisingly, it is simple and clean and more minimalist. Currently displays the time, current temperature and weather forecast for the city. The detail is that it does so in a very attractive manner. We can easily customise the colours and set our location manually.

3. Jot for preparing short to-do lists

Jot is at once a simple and beautiful replacement for our new tab page. It displays a lovely new background image every time we open a tab, and lets us list our most important to-dos or short notes for the day in a large, legible font. To retrieve them, all we need to do is launch a fresh tab.

If we don’t need all the bells and whistles of advanced task management extensions, Jot is a great choice that looks better than the rest.

MightyText brings our Android smartphone and computer closer together, allowing us to sync our SMS messages and notifications from our phone to our desktop. Users can send and receive SMS and MMS messages from their desktop, sync photos and videos and receive low battery notifications for their smartphone. Users will need to install the MightyText app on their phone, as well as on Chrome.

5.Google Dictionary

This extension from Google makes it just a little easier to brush up on our vocabulary. Once installed, one can double click on any word in a web page to see a short pop-up definition. Clicking the extension button brings up a full dictionary entry, and one can also opt into saving a list of every definition he/she looks up.

6. Pic2Pixlr

Pic2Pixlr is a must-have extension for anyone who edits a lot of web images. Once installed, right-clicking on an image will reveal an “open with pic2pixlr” option in the context menu, letting one jump directly into Pixlr’s suite of free editing tools. It’s a lot faster than downloading, uploading and downloading again.

7. Speed Dial 2

Speed dial 2 is an ultimate replacement of new tab page with quick access to our most visited pages, bookmarks and browsing history. We can easily organise our favourite websites into boost productivity.
