Momentum is a great New Tab replacement with its own personal dashboard including To-do, weather and inspiration. Grammarly is a great extension that helps with spelling and grammar and the paid version adds a bunch of other features. The one I have has a logo of ABP and is currently at version 3.4. There are many of these types of programs, I tend to look for the one with the lots of downloads and a good rating. I’ve already mentioned Evernote and another program I spoke about, LastPass relies heavily on its Chrome extension.Īnother useful extension is Adblock plus. I will, however, recommend a few of my favourites.

I won’t spend too long here other than to suggest that you have a look around and try a few and see what you like. The Web Store itself lists probably tens of thousands of available extensions with many ways to search and filter them. You can also access it by clicking the chrome apps button at the left end of the bookmark toolbar and then clicking on the web store apps or the link at the bottom right corner. To add new extensions you need to go to the Chrome Web Store which you can access by going to the menu at the top left of the extensions, clicking open Chrome Web Store from the bottom. Here you can see some of the many extensions I use every day and a few that I’m testing at the moment.

To access existing extensions simply go to the hamburger menu, click more tools and then extensions.
