But be careful: Extensions can also slow down your browser. Make sure that you only install the most useful plugins!
What Makes a Good Chrome Extensions?
A good plugin is characterized by a few factors. First and foremost: Usability! It must do what it promises and be easy to use. Otherwise, you simply won’t use it and it will be left unused in a pile of extensions. Before you set up three new plugins, check if one extension combines all solutions of the other three – this will also save you space.
Extra Tip: When choosing your Chrome extensions, make sure that they are time-saving, resource-saving and quality-assuring.
All in all, a plugin should help you, not hold you back. If you waste too much time with handling or a thousand extensions, it won't bring you any benefits in the long run.
