HandyPAF Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I'd like to share a short list of useful Chrome Extensions. I would not categorize these extensions as "essential" but they are handy. My goal is to share quality-of-life extensions that are seemingly lesser-known. Backspace to go Back Restores browser behavior of navigating to previous page when pressing the Backspace key. Death To _blank Keeps links from opening new tabs by removing the _blank attribute. Disable Download Bar Removes the download bar at the bottom of Chrome windows and nothing else. Friend Remover PRO Quickly and easily mass-delete friends from Facebook. I'm a Gentleman Easily save images with a click, gestures or the extension button. Incognito-Filter Automatically open specific websites in a sandboxed Incognito Window. Quick Scroll Creates easily-accessible icons for instantly scrolling to the top of bottom of a page. SearchPreview Enhances your search pages by inserting preview images and popularity ranks. SimpleClear A handy way to clear cache, cookies, downloads and history. SimpleExtManager A simple menu to enable, disable and access options of installed extensions.

I'm sure some of my Tampermonkey scripts do, too. Shouldn't need WebRTC Leak Prevent if you use uBlock Origin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fccard Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 17 hours ago, stylemessiah said: Web Boost - Wait Less, Browse Faster! Hello everyone. @stylemessiah I was looking on the extensions you guys posted here and that Web Boost really made my pages load faster after a few tries. Since its last update was back in 2016 I'm wondering if it still fully working with latest Chrome or if is there any similar extension that is getting updates lately. I also would like to know if it's compatible with HTTPS Everywhere, Privacy Badger and Decentraleyes if anyone can tell me, please. Thank you all for the suggestions here, I have added a few on my list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was merely sharing my view on the matter and in doing so, have prompted you to educate me. So no harm done. That's why I created this topic. I am interested in which extensions others use and why. And you have provided insight into both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
