#1 : GrammarlyGrammarly is one of the best extensions for the Chrome web browser. Before you know it, you'll wonder how you ever got by without it.Add Grammarly to Google Chrome It examines all of the text you enter into Chrome for any grammatical or spelling errors. So, for example, imagine you're writing an important email to your professor, or maybe even to a recruiter for an internship, Grammarly will quietly work in the background, examining your text and pointing out any errors you might've made. Grammarly will even give you suggestions on how to fix your mistakes right there inside the email itself.Grammarly will even work while posting comments on YouTube or Reddit, keeping you safe from all those spiteful individuals who would correct your grammar. Bonus: Grammarly now offers an application for Windows that you can use to compose documents that will sync with your online Grammarly account.

#2: Evernote Web ClipperEvernote has been the premiere note-taking application for a long time and for good reason: the app makes it easy to create and compose notes, create checklists, collect photographs, and create digital notebooks to put it all in.Evernote Web Clipper makes things even easier by giving you the best tools to create notes with content on the web. The web clipper allows you to simplify websites, annotate and highlight important information, and save the clip into a specific notebook. You can even use it to create bookmarks and screenshots.Add Evernote Web Clipper to Google Chrome All of these tools make the Evernote Web Clipper the perfect accessory for students who do tons of research on the web and are seeking a way to keep all of their notes organized and easily accessible. Once your note is created, you can then access it through Evernote's mobile applications or website. There is also a standalone Chrome app, but we recommend the website version as the layout is much more user-friendly.

#3: Google Docs Quick CreateThe Google suite of web applications (Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc.) are a wonderful free alternative to the traditional offerings from Microsoft and Apple. With Google Docs Quick Create, you will be able to quickly create a new document from any tab with a just a push of a button.

Suddenly, your smile fades and it all comes crashing down.You see, when it came time to printing your assignment, you realized that your printer was out of ink. Instead of spending money on the replacement cartridges, you had the brilliant idea of transferring your file to a USB drive so that you could simply print it at school. You go to the library, insert your USB drive, and surprise—the file isn't there. In fact, the file is now miles away from you sitting on a drive on your home PC. This is where Chrome Remote Desktop comes into play.Add Chrome Remote Desktop to Google Chrome Chrome Remote Desktop allows you to remotely connect to your PC at home and access all your important files.

Once emails are synced, you can view, archive, and even compose. Once an internet connection is established, emails will continue to operate normally.

This is what uBlock Origin provides.Add uBlock Origin to Google Chrome Having an effective ad blocker installed in Chrome can prevent a lot of headaches. From helping websites load faster to blocking annoying popups, uBlock Origin keeps you focused on whatever task at hand without being subjected to unnecessary distractions.
