With the Linkclump extension I can drag and select all the links on one page and open them up all at once. It’s a real timesaver when I’m proofreading and need to make sure all the embedded links redirect to the right places. — CD

When I look at Google search results in the Chrome browser, I have difficulty telling the difference between the default colors of the links for previously visited and unvisited sites. One is blue and the other is blue-purple. I found a Chrome extension that solves my problem. It’s called Color Links. It does just one thing - lets me choose a custom color for visited links. There’s no mistaking one type of link for the other now. — MF

I use LinkedIn to get in touch with people for stories and interviews, but I don’t like using the built in messaging service (InMail). I’d rather email the person, but LinkedIn doesn’t provide email addresses (they want you to do everything in the confines of their walled garden). I use a Chrome extension called ContactOut which provides a pop-up with the person’s email address. It hasn’t failed me yet. — MF

Hunter lets you quickly find personal and support email addresses from any company website. I have the chrome extension and it’s great for when I have a customer service or billing issue and want a response as soon as possible. I cc: all the relevant generic email addresses for the company and so far have gotten a response and issue resolved within hours. — CD 

Why can’t I just right-click on a Google Docs image to download it to my computer? Until Google allows that, I’ll use this free add-on called Image Extractor. To install it, scroll down to Method 3 here. — MF

I’ve been using this Chrome extension to restore Google’s “view image” function that was recently removed. It’s called Bring Google View Image Back and it works. — CD 

The Google Similar Pages Chrome extension helps you quickly find websites similar to the page you are currently browsing. — CD

The Just Read Chrome extension blocks pop-ups and makes ad-smothered webpages easy on the eyes. You can select and isolate the text you want to read, delete elements, customize styling, and print. I’ve been using it daily. – CD
