00:00Hi guys, today we're going to see the top chrome extensions to increase your productivity.
00:05If you're like me who spends a lot of time on your browser, extensions can take your
00:09productivity to the next level.
00:11That's why I made a list of some great extensions which you should add to chrome right now.
00:15Now we're going to focus mainly on extensions for chrome browser, but if you're using some
00:19other browser, worry not.
00:21All of these extensions work on browsers like Firefox and Safari too.
00:25And if you're using chrome based browsers like Microsoft Edge, Opera etc, every chrome
00:30extension will work for you too.
00:32So sit back, relax and let's dive right into the top extensions.
00:36The first extension which we're going to see is Blackbox.
00:40Now if you're someone who takes a lot of notes while browsing, watching videos or lectures,
00:44this is going to be a game changer for you.
00:47This extension lets you copy any text that's on your screen.
00:50You can copy text from images and even from videos.
00:53Amazing right?
00:54So to get this extension, just click the link below this video, and you'll get the blackbox
00:59extension.
01:00Add it to chrome, now you can copy the text from anywhere on your browser.
01:08Let's say you're watching a video and you want to copy this text.
01:11Just click on the extension icon, select blackbox, and then just select the text you want to
01:19copy.
01:23And as you can see, the text has been copied.
01:27You can go ahead and paste it where you want, there you go, we got the text.
01:37You can do the same on an image or any place that has text.
01:40Okay, the second extension which we're going to see is OneTab.
01:44I used to have a lot of tabs open on my browser like this, and it made my computer slow down.
01:49And I found it hard to go to the tab that I wanted.
01:51If you have faced the same problem, then OneTab extension is for you.
01:55This lets you arrange all your tabs in one place like this, so you can easily find the
02:00tab you want.
02:01And it also makes your browser look clean.
02:03Now there's a link in the description which takes you to the OneTab extension.
02:07Let's click on it, add it to chrome, click add extension.
02:15Now when you have a lot of tabs, just click here, select OneTab.
02:21And you can see that all the tabs have been rearranged here.
02:24Now what I like about this extension is that, we don't lose any of the tabs.
02:28It saves it in the list.
02:29So whenever you want to open any tab, you just click it, it will reopen it here, and
02:38you can see the website.
02:40So this will help you keep your tabs organized.
02:42So let's go back, now if you want to reopen all the tabs, just click restore all, and
02:49all your tabs will be reopened again.
02:51Alright, our next extension is VidRapid.
02:55If you're someone who watches a lot of YouTube videos, then this tool is for you.
02:59VidRapid can summarize any YouTube video and give you main points in just a paragraph of
03:04text, so you don't need to watch the entire video to learn about the content.
03:09Once you add the extension, VidRapid will be available on YouTube like this, so you
03:13can just sign up, now if you click summarize, it will summarize the content of the video.
03:25You will also have the key points and the timestamps.
03:27You can check out the content, and if you click on the timestamp, you can skip ahead
03:32to that portion.
03:34And if you go here, you can see the entire transcript of the video.
03:40Now the cool part is, it works even without an extension.
03:43So if you're watching a YouTube video, just go to the link, and type some here, press
03:51enter, and you'll automatically be taken to the VidRapid page, where you'll get the summary
03:55of your video.
03:57So if you're using a mobile device, VidRapid also has a mobile app to summarize the videos.
04:02Okay, moving on, the fourth extension is EnableCopyPaste.
04:07You might have come across some websites, where you cannot copy or paste any text.
04:12So this extension lets you bypass the restrictions on such websites, and allows you to copy and
04:17paste.
04:18So let's see how it works.
04:19This is a banking website.
04:20Now if we try to copy our credentials and paste it here, you can see that we're getting
04:28a message that this site has disabled copy paste option.
04:32So let's see what happens if we use this extension.
04:35First add it to chrome.
04:41Now if we go back to our website, click here, and select enable copy paste, here you can
04:51see that we have the option to enable copy paste.
04:54So let's click here.
04:57Now if we try to paste our credentials, you can see that it's working.
05:01So in this way, you can copy paste on any website you want.
05:04Okay, let's go to the fifth extension, which is Anho.
05:08Let's say you're watching a productive YouTube video, and you get a lot of recommended videos.
05:13Sometimes these videos may not be related to what you're searching for, and you might
05:18get distracted easily.
05:19So this extension helps you to focus on what you want to watch, by automatically removing
05:24the distractions from YouTube, and you can get a more focused watching experience.
05:28This is how YouTube looks like right now.
05:31So let's add this extension, click here, click unhook, turn it on.
05:42Here you will find various options to control what should be hidden, and you can also select
05:46what to display.
05:47Now if we click refresh, you can see that the distracting videos are automatically removed,
05:54and we have a clean page.
05:55Nice right?
05:56Okay, let's move on to the sixth extension, which is Grammarly.
06:00If you're someone who writes a lot, whether it's emails, documents, or social media posts,
06:06you know how important it is to have good grammar and spelling.
06:09So that's where Grammarly comes in.
06:11It is a writing assistant that helps you improve your grammar, spelling, and overall writing
06:16style.
06:17So let's see how it works.
06:18Let's say you prepared a content, for instance, an email.
06:22Let's see how Grammarly can help us improve our writing.
06:25Once Grammarly is installed, let's click on it.
06:30And you can see that Grammarly is now active on this content, and it is showing the errors
06:34we have.
06:35Now if you click here, you can see what the error is and how you can solve it.
06:41Now if you click accept, it'll automatically correct the error here.
06:46In the same way, you can correct all the errors.
06:49Okay, so now our content is free from errors.
06:52It's as simple as that.
06:54Next on the line, we have ClearReader extension.
06:57If you're someone who reads a lot of blogs and articles on the internet, then this extension
07:01is for you.
07:02Let's say you're reading a blog on your browser, and you find a lot of extra elements like
07:07ads and prompts on your screen, which can be very distracting.
07:10The ClearReader extension helps you remove these elements so that you can read your news
07:14article or blog without any distractions.
07:18Once you add the extension, now if you go back to the blog you were reading, just click
07:22here, click on the ClearReader extension, you can see that the blog has been cleared
07:30of all unnecessary elements, leaving the text alone on the page.
07:34Alright, now every time you want to use the extension, you don't have to go here and select
07:39it.
07:40Instead, you can just pin the extension like this and select it from here.
07:44Okay, now this part is even more interesting.
07:47You can also customize your blog using these options.
07:49Now if you want to increase the font size of this text, just click on this icon, click
07:54this button, and you can see that the font size has been increased.
07:59In the same way, you can change the background and font style by clicking on these buttons.
08:08Now if you want to download the article, you can do that by clicking here.
08:12Okay, let's move on to the 8th extension, which is ReadMe Text to Speech.
08:18This extension converts all the text on a webpage into an audio file and reads it loud
08:23to you.
08:24So if you're tired of reading text online and want someone to read it for you, this
08:28extension is the way to go.
08:30So let's see how it works.
08:31You can add the extension using the link in the description.
08:34And once you've done that, let's say you're reading an article, now if you click here,
08:41Just read me and click play.
08:50You can see that it has started reading out the content to us.
08:53It's like a personal robot reading for us.
08:55Alright, next we have the Picture in Picture extension.
08:58This little gem allows you to watch videos in a floating window while you work on other
09:03things.
09:04So you can have a video playing at the corner of your screen while you write an email or
09:08have a tutorial running while you code.
09:10How cool is that?
09:12And the best part is, it's super easy to use.
09:14You can add the extension using the link in the description.
09:17Once you've added the extension, when you're playing any video, click here and boom, the
09:28video will appear in its own floating window that you can move around and resize to your
09:33liking.
09:34Now if you want to go back to the normal view, just click on it and it'll go back to the
09:40page.
09:41So now we've come to the final extension, which is the AdGuard extension.
09:45There are many AdBlock extensions available, but we have selected the one which works best
09:50on Chrome.
09:51It is the AdGuard extension.
09:53So let's see how efficient it is.
09:55Here's the website full of ads.
09:57Now let's add our extension.
10:03And if we go to our site and click refresh, you can see that all the ads are gone.
10:10Okay, so guys, that's my list of top Chrome extensions.
10:13Now all the extensions we saw will work on any Chrome based browser.
10:17So if you're using Microsoft Edge or Opera, you can make use of these extensions.
10:21Next let's go to the bonus part of this tutorial, where I'm going to show you a simple trick
10:25to increase your productivity.
10:27So I've been using this mouse for quite some time now, and I have to say it's really useful.
10:32How many times have you switched tabs like this?
10:35It takes so much time, right?
10:36Now see this, if I just press this button and scroll, I can easily switch tabs forward
10:42and backward.
10:43Amazing, right?
10:44Now we're going to see how you can use this trick to work on your PC.
10:48To do that, we're going to do 5 steps.
10:50The first step is to get this Logitech mouse.
10:53So to get it, just click the link in the description, and here you can purchase the mouse.
11:00So you can go ahead and buy.
11:02Once you've got the mouse, make sure to connect it to your computer before going into the
11:05next step.
11:06Now let's go to the second step, which is to install the Logitech G Hub software on
11:10your computer.
11:11To install the software, just click the link below this video, and you will get this page.
11:15Now based on the OS, click download, then click install, and your software will be installed.
11:29Once you've done that, now we need to add a profile to this software, which has the
11:32tab switch feature.
11:34Let's go to step 3, which is to add the tab switch profile.
11:37So to do that, click here, and click community.
11:44Now here, search for Website Runners, and you will get this profile.
11:51To add it, just select it, and click download, and the profile will be added successfully.
12:01Now once you've done that, to make the tab switch feature work, you need to install one
12:05more software.
12:06So let's go to the next step, which is to install the software called Xmouse.
12:10To do that, just click the link below this video, and it will take you to this page.
12:15Now to download the software, just click here, and it will be downloaded.
12:22Now to install it, just click here, click next, now click finish, and the software will
12:34be installed.
12:35So now if we go to our desktop, you can see that we've got the Xmouse software.
12:39Let's open it.
12:43Okay, once you've installed the software, like we did before, we need to add another
12:47profile to this software too.
12:49So let's go to the final step, which is to add the tab switch profile to Xmouse.
12:53To do that, just click the link in the description, and the profile will be downloaded.
12:59Now to add it, let's go to Xmouse, and click load profile.
13:06Now select the profile which we just downloaded, click open, and you can see that our profile
13:14has been added.
13:15So this means now we'll be able to switch between tabs using the scroll wheel.
13:19To check that, let's close this.
13:23Now if we go to our browser, click this button and scroll up, you can see that we've been
13:29taken to the next tab.
13:30And if you scroll down, you can see that it opens the previous tab.
13:35So there you go, this is how you can add the tab switch feature.
13:38Now let's say you browse a lot of internet, and you want to go back to the previous web
13:42page, so you can do that by clicking this button.
13:45And if you want to return to the page you just came from, you can click this button
13:49and you'll reach the page.
13:50Now if you want to close your tab, you can just press this button from anywhere on the
13:53page and it'll close the tab.
13:56Easy right?
13:58So if you like the features of this mouse, you can go ahead and buy it from the link
14:01in the description.
