Additions to Google Sheets. Add-ons for Google Chrome. Top extensions for Google Chrome

Ivan Ivanichev

The work of an Internet marketer is so complex and varied that it simply cannot be done without the help of various tools. Keep an updated list of super useful Google Chrome plugins. All of them, before being included in this material, underwent thorough testing for bugs and ease of use.

Design tasks: screenshotting, color and font determination, image search, adaptability testing

FireShot is an extension for creating screenshots - it allows you to capture the entire page, its visible area or region and take a screenshot using hotkeys. To take advantage of additional features - annotations, a graphic editor, printing, sending by email and the web, you need to purchase the Pro version, which costs almost $40.

Note: the extension does not work in the Chrome gallery; you can use it by calling the context menu with the right mouse button.

Imgur Uploader is a replacement for the original Imgur, which was removed from the Chrome Web Store, but with fewer features.

With Colorzilla, you can use an eyedropper to pick up a color from anywhere in your browser and determine its number. An indispensable item for designers.

A typical situation is that you liked a font on one of the sites, but you don’t know what it’s called. It takes too long to go through the codes and look for the name (and many people don’t even know how to do it). With the What Font extension it will only take you a couple of seconds. You simply hover your mouse over the word you need and get the name of the font. Works with both Latin and Cyrillic fonts.

With Resolution Test, you can see how a web page looks on different types of screens. You can add any of your own to the standard set of permissions.

Allows you to check how your site looks on different types of platforms.

Working with information: express translation and text analysis, convenient search, systematization and sharing

The fastest way to translate the desired word into English. You simply highlight it and click on the extension icon. Very comfortably.

A plugin that helps clear the text of any verbal garbage and put materials in order, according to the rules of infostyle.

The extension checks your texts for spelling and grammatical errors anywhere on the Internet - reads fields on social networks, email, etc. The site also has a plugin for Google Docs, an add-on for Word, and even a desktop version that works without the Internet. By the way, it’s a huge plus that 25 languages ​​are supported: you can check texts in English, German, etc.

The extension adds an item to the menu that allows you to save (and not lose) several pieces of text at once. More convenient than repeatedly “Ctrl+C” and “Ctrl+V” somewhere in Word or Notepad.

A simple extension to count characters/words in any selected text. The scope of application is not limited to copywriting: characters are counted when preparing advertisements, meta tags, etc. In the plugin settings, you can choose what exactly to display: characters with spaces, the number of words, or the number of characters without spaces.

The coolest extension for saving articles, bookmarks, pictures and other content. However, to use it, you need an Evernote account. Not on Evernote yet? What are you waiting for? Let's register urgently! It’s not for nothing that this service has so many fans.

Checks spelling. No need to open Word and wait for it to load.

With the OneTab extension, you can save 95% of your browser memory and also get rid of the clutter in your tab bar. When you have a lot of pages open, you simply click on its icon and collapse all the tabs into a neat list. To expand them, just click on the “Restore it” button.

Divides your monitor into two parts. The size of the windows is customizable.

A very useful extension for converting files from one format to another. Over 2,500 different combinations are supported: rar to zip, pdf to jpg, epub to pdf, png to ico and many others.

Productivity: time tracking, task management

Once you figure out which sites are your biggest time killers, you'll probably want to somehow reduce your time spent on them. And since the addiction is already quite strong, you are unlikely to be able to cope without outside help. The solution to this problem is the Block site extension. Using it, you can either completely block the site, or specify the time when it should be blocked (for example, during working hours - from 9 to 18). Then you definitely won’t be tempted to surf VKontakte pages.

The extension does not work in Chrome Gallery; you can use it by selecting “Block this link” in the menu.

Extension for managing extensions (sorry for the tautology). Turns plugins on and off with one click. I think after reading this article you will definitely need it.

The Great Suspender is an extension that makes Google Chrome less power hungry by suspending tabs that are not currently in use. You can set the time for which the work of these tabs will be suspended.

An excellent application for lovers of procrastination and, in general, anyone who wants to control their time or at least just understand how it is spent. Lists of distracting/productive sites are customizable.

The simplest time management tool that works using the Pomodoro method. The “Tomato” button starts the 25-minute countdown; when the time expires, a beep sounds. Then, accordingly, you need to choose a short or long break. There are statistics.

SEO, web development, security: website statistics, keyword selection, technical audit

For those who are not ready to pay for Key Collector. The extension significantly speeds up the manual collection of search queries from Wordstat.

Extension for quick analysis of key SEO indicators: PR, Alexa Rank, incoming links, etc.

Finds and highlights the no-follow tag and the no-index meta tag with a red frame.

An extension that shows what web technologies were used to develop a particular site. Shows CMS, installed counters, programming language, etc.

Alexa Traffic Rank provides data about the site (traffic, average load time) you visit without interrupting your browsing. You can also see what a given site looked like in the past using the Wayback Machine, related links, etc.

SEOquake is an extension that provides data on the main indicators of search engine optimization of websites and a detailed analysis of search engine results pages, and also allows you to conduct an SEO audit for technical preparation for website promotion work.

This extension shows which tools were used to “build” the site you are viewing and what analytics, advertising, tracking, and communication services it uses.

This plugin measures the amount of traffic to the site and its sources, shows behavioral metrics (bounce rate, time on site, etc.). Necessary for analyzing competitors, assessing sites for

Sooner or later, for every Internet user, the standard set of functions that browsers provide becomes insufficient. I would like to make my work on the Internet more efficient, simple and convenient.

In this article I will tell you how you can achieve this using special browser extensions and add-ons.

I want to make you happy right away. All browser extensions that we will consider are FREE, and their installation does not require any special knowledge or skills from you.

Extensions for which browser(s) will we be looking at?

1) Extensions for Yandex Browser (Yandex)
2) Extensions for Google Chrome (Google Chrome)
3) Extensions for Opera (Opera)

Why these browsers? Yes, because they all work on the WebKit engine, and accordingly, they all support extensions from the Google Chrome store.

This is a site that is a catalog of extensions for browsers such as Google Chrome, Yandex Browser, Opera (from version 15 and higher) and other assemblies based on the Chromium browser.

Add-ons and extensions for Yandex Browser and Opera are also installed from the Google Chrome extension store. And all because these browsers are fully compatible (interchangeable) in terms of working platforms for third-party applications.

In my opinion, it is very convenient when all extensions and add-ons are in one place.

Firstly, it systematizes all existing applications and provides the end user with an extensive choice (for every taste). You don’t need to spend hours searching for a suitable add-on for Chrome or an extension for Yandex Browser; everything you need can be found in just five minutes!

Secondly, you can immediately see application ratings and user reviews, on the basis of which you can make a decision - whether you should download a specific browser application at all, or whether it is better to look for a more successful analogue (with more functionality and better stability).

My list of the best extensions for Yandex Browser and Google Chrome

Below you will find a collection of the best, in my opinion, extensions for Yandex browser and Google Chrome, and you can also download them for FREE:

Tired of advertising on websites? Are pop-up windows and flashing banners annoying? Adblock Plus will save you from this torment. This extension cuts out advertisements on websites, speeding up the loading of the website itself and saving your traffic. For me, this is one of the most important browser extensions; I always install it first. I also like that in the application settings you can leave “some unobtrusive advertising”, because... I don’t mind and sometimes I’m even glad to see contextual advertising (sometimes I come across really useful ads).

If necessary, the extension for the Yandex browser Adblock Plus can be automatically disabled on specified sites. For example, you have your own website, and you want to always see what advertising is broadcast on it - just set the address of your website in exceptions and voila (!) - advertising will be disabled on all sites except yours.

Even more ways to disable advertising on the Internet.

This is an extension for the Yandex browser (Google Chrome, Opera) Vkontakte (vk, vk). With its help, you can significantly increase the standard functionality of this social network. You will be able to download music and video from the VKontakte network, you will be able to track which friends have left and who have been added recently, and much, much more...

In general, I tried a lot of extensions and add-ons for VK (Vkontakte), but VkOpt turned out to be the best application. It can do what others cannot, it is regularly updated and does not interfere at all when using VK (VKontakte).

3) Website statistics from LiveInternet.ru(download)

If you are engaged in website promotion, place advertising on the Internet, or simply run your own website and you are not indifferent to its popularity, then you simply need to install the browser extension from LiveInternet. This add-on shows LiveInternet statistics (the number of unique visits to the site for certain periods: day, week, month).

But you should know one feature: traffic statics are shown only for those sites that have a visit counter from LiveInternet installed. Fortunately, it is installed on most Russian-language sites. So, use it, study it and, if necessary, spy on the successes of others =)

Another extension for Google Chrome (Yandex Browser, Opera and the like...), which will be useful for absolutely every webmaster. Can show the TIC and PR of the site, tell you about the number of pages indexed by Yandex and Google, as well as the number of indexed images on the site (also by both search engines). It can track the presence of a site in the Yandex Catalog and the Dmoz catalog, and monitors Alex Rang, SEMRush and LiveInternet rating indicators. It can even show you the number of incoming and outgoing links to the site according to Solomono statistics (now the service is called LinkPad).

5) TinEye Reverse Image Search(download)

Another extremely necessary, in my opinion, browser add-on that allows you to find duplicates (copies) of pictures on the Internet. With TinEye Reverse Image Search, you can track who exactly is stealing your images (photos), or check if there are duplicates of a particular image on the Internet (learn more about the uniqueness of content: text and pictures).

6) Image Properties Context(download)

A small and very convenient extension for webmasters (and bloggers). Adds to the context menu (when you right-click) an item to view the properties of images published on sites (their size, placement path, resolution, etc.).

You can download this extension for Chrome from the link given above.

7) Chromium Wheel Smooth Scroller(download)

Another extension for Chrome and Yandex browser, which makes page scrolling smooth, instead of the standard jumpy one. A very practical and useful feature. Browsing websites becomes more enjoyable, and reading text becomes much more convenient.

This browser extension can adapt to the desired pace of sliding across the pages of the site (it is set in the extension settings), and this is good news. After all, each person works at a computer at different speeds. Inexperienced PC users work slower, while more experienced ones work faster.

Well, the latest extension for Chrome, as well as other browsers that support extensions from the Google Chrome store, will be indispensable for webmasters and SEO optimizers, called Realtime Yandex update monitor, and, as you probably already guessed from the name, this extension monitors ( regularly checks) and informs the user about updates to search results in Yandex, as well as about updates in the Yandex Catalog.

It is very convenient to track changes in your site’s position after each search update. I recommend it to anyone who cares about traffic to their own website.

P.S.

To download extensions for Google Chrome and Yandex Browser, just click on the “download” link next to the extension you need. Next, you will be automatically redirected to the add-on download page, where you can not only download it yourself, but also see its rating, as well as reviews from users who have already installed this extension.

Add-ons for Google Chrome are additional software modules that expand the functionality of the browser, adding new capabilities to it, for example, downloading files, processing content, listening to music, filtering elements on a web page. Thanks to these additional tools, the user can optimally adapt Google Chrome to implement their specialized tasks on the Internet.

Add-ons can also be called “plug-ins for Google Chrome” (the English word is “plug-in”), add-ons (add-ons), extensions (extension). However, they should not be confused with pre-installed components (Flash, SSL Error Assistant, recovery, etc.), the list of which is located on the chrome://components/ tab. They are also designed to perform certain functions in the browser, but not additional, but basic, and are built into the web browser distribution. The user can only familiarize themselves with their version and check for updates. Components do not have their own visual control panels like add-ons do.

This article will tell you how to install plugins in Google Chrome, how to launch them, and how to configure them. Plus, in it you will get acquainted with the addons recommended for downloading.

Where to download add-ons

Add-ons must be downloaded from the official application store.

In your browser's visual bookmarks bar, click the "Services" button and then the "Online Store" icon.

Or enter the service URL in the address bar - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions.

On the page that opens, using the “Search” field, you can search for the extension directly by its name. Even if you remember it only partially, for example, only the first letters.

You can also specify the type of plugin (for example, “Anti-banner”).

Or its functional purpose, when you need to choose the most suitable option from all available solutions.

In addition to the specified request, the user is given the opportunity to connect sorting filters:

Variety (in this case “Extension”) and category (by functional purpose);

Features (by features - work offline, from Google developers, free, etc.).

How to install

All addons for the requested search query are located in the adjacent panel. Click on the block of the add-on you are interested in.

On the loaded page, check out its rating: level of popularity (how many stars), number of downloads.

As well as user reviews posted on the “Reviews” tab.

This information will help you get an idea about the chosen solution: is it worth downloading, can you trust its developers.

To download the plugin and connect it to the browser, click the “Install” button. In the request panel, confirm the command: also click “Install...”.

Once the download is complete, as a rule, the addon icon appears in the top panel of Chrome, to the right of the address bar.

Settings

In most extensions, their menus, settings, or a link to a tab where you can configure options are opened by clicking on their icon in the external panel.

Control

To perform various operations on installed add-ons (disabling, uninstalling), you need to open a tab with a list of them. Click the “Menu” button and go to the list: Additional tools → Extensions.

To temporarily deactivate an addon, without completely deleting it, uncheck the “Enable” box in its line.

A complete uninstallation is performed using the "Trash" button. After clicking it, confirm the action: in the request, select the “Delete” answer.

To view background information about the add-on (purpose, version, volume), in its block, under the description text, click the “More details” link.

Selecting addons: which ones are better to install?

The list below is compiled based on the TOP user preferences, but is only a recommendation, an approximate guideline for choice. In turn, you can focus on analogues of the presented solutions or abandon them completely.

Ad blocking - Adguard

(analogues - Adblock, Adblock Plus, UBlock Origin)

Adguard is a cross-browser anti-banner. Also available for Firefox, Opera, Yandex. Filters out up to 90-100% of all kinds of advertising on web pages. Including video frames. Blocks pop-ups, phishing and potentially dangerous sites. Prevents websites from running scripts that track user behavior. Speeds up the loading of web pages, as it eliminates elements that are unnecessary and dangerous for the user’s PC. And, accordingly, it saves network traffic. This is especially important when using limited packages from providers.

It has many settings for managing advertising filters and creating your own filtering rules.

Translator - Google Translate

(analogues - ImTranslator, Translator for all languages)

The field of interests of the majority of Russian-speaking Internet users extends not only to domestic web resources, but also to foreign ones. But not all overseas sites are equipped with Russian localization and not all users speak foreign languages. To view content in a foreign language, you need the Google Translate addon. It performs machine translation from many languages ​​of the world. The syntax of the text he revised cannot be called ideal, but it still conveys the general meaning and content. And, accordingly, it helps to break the language barrier: read an interesting post, manual, review of devices, games and much more.

To use it, you need to select the text and click on the icon that appears next to the selection fragment.

The translated text will instantly (literally in a few seconds) be displayed in the additional panel. In it, you can click the “speaker” button to listen to the text of the translation and the original fragment in English.

The addon panel also has a text input line and a link to the Google dictionary website.

Hide IP with VPN - ZenMate

(analogues - Hotspot Shield, Free Proxy)

Many network virus attacks can be successfully carried out if the IP address of the victim's computer is known. Also, it is over IP that restrictions on access to sites are carried out, and not only by their developers, but also by providers supplying Internet services.

You can get rid of all these problems using the ZenMate addon. It automatically configures the browser's network connection through a proxy server over a securely encrypted channel. And thus hides the true IP of the user’s PC. The proxy address will be displayed on every loaded page of any website that a user accesses in Google Chrome with ZenMate connected.

You can quickly change proxies in the extension panel. You just need to go to the list of available servers and click on the appropriate localization (country).

Visual bookmarks - Speed ​​Dial

(analog - )
You always want to keep your favorite sites at hand. And, of course, it is advisable that they are always in sight. The Speed ​​Dial plugin will help you accomplish this task. It deploys a beautiful express panel on empty browser tabs, consisting of blocks with links in the form of graphic miniatures of sites. Its appearance can be configured: set the number of elements in the panel and their appearance. And also add and remove links in blocks.

Speed ​​Dial is an ideal tool for organizing quick access to sites.

Website analysis - WOT

An old proverb says: “If you don’t know the ford, don’t go into the water.” But the same wariness arises when visiting unfamiliar websites. You never know what is there: viruses, phishing links, social engineering tricks or other troubles. And not always an antivirus or an anti-banner can save you from them. But the WOT addon can. Using a special rating system, it notifies the user about the degree of trust in the site and its level of security.

WOT places rating icons near links in search engine results, on websites, and also provides information about the current page in its panel (opens by clicking on the icon).

Before clicking on a link, you need to analyze its rating according to WOT: for example, if the icon is green, the site can be trusted, but red is dangerous. Thanks to such a preliminary analysis, you can certainly save yourself from the typical troubles that lie in wait on the Internet - virus attacks. And also make for yourself a selection of useful, trusted sites.

Downloading videos from video hosting sites - YouTube Video Downloader

As a rule, video hosting sites, including YouTube, do not have links to download videos; you can only view them online in the player, on the page. But many people want to get them on their computer for offline playback.

And YouTube Video Downloader helps them with this. If the addon is connected to Chrome, just start playing the video and click its icon. A download page with quality options for the requested file opens in a new tab.

In addition to YouTube, the extension supports a large number of other popular video hosting sites and social networks. Using it, you can download audio tracks and videos on both VKontakte and Odnoklassniki.

Bookmark Manager - Bookmark Manager

Bookmark Manager is the first assistant for users who actively work with a large collection of bookmarks.

It replaces the standard bookmark list interface with a convenient and visual graphical shell. In it you can change the appearance of folders with bookmarks. Perform various operations on a designated group of links and folders (delete, copy, create new directories).

You can also manage bookmarks through the add-on panel (selecting/adding folders, links).

To prevent useful additional tools for Chrome from becoming an annoying burden for you, so that viruses do not penetrate your computer system under their guise, try to adhere to the following recommendations:

1. Before installing the addon, be sure to check its popularity status. Do not install addons that have low ratings and a large number of negative reviews. They may not work correctly, do not perform the functions certified by their developers, or compromise the security of your PC.
2. Do not install a large number of addons, they can “slow down” the browser and, in general, the entire Windows. The hardware resources of even a powerful computer are not limitless. Each of the additional tools, albeit to varying degrees, loads the random access memory (RAM) and central processing unit (CPU).
3. Do not use two addons with the same functional purpose at the same time, for example, two anti-banners. They can programmatically conflict with each other, cause Chrome to crash and slow down page loading.
4. Periodically check the list of installed addons. Completely remove unfamiliar extensions that you did not personally install (which appeared in the browser after installing dubious software). Under their guise, malicious applications can hide - hijackers (browser hijackers), adware, spyware.

When choosing addons, initially focus on essential tools that provide safe, convenient web surfing (anti-banner, proxy, translator). And only then add specialized add-ons - mail viewers, video downloaders, etc. This approach will save you from unnecessary research and mistakes when choosing.

Good luck equipping your Google Chrome browser with addons!

Hello, dear readers of Optimacomp. Let's talk about the Google Chrome browser. Lately I’ve been moving from Mozilla to Google Chrome—the song of praise will be about the latter. You can write a lot about a cool and fast Internet browser, but today only about what main Google Chrome extensions The average user will need them first.

I advise you to install Google Chrome, at least as a second browser, for reference. You already know how. This is officially the world's first browser to support multi-viewing. When several users use the browser and do not interfere with each other - each has its own profile, settings, bookmarks, extensions, appearance...

I recently thought that Google Chrome was not up to par with Mozilla in the number and quality of add-ons, but now I can confidently say that it has not only caught up, but has also surpassed its competitor. You can quickly and easily find replacements for your favorite Mozilla add-ons - you'll soon see it. If, when installing a large number of add-ons, Mozilla Firefox began to slow down, then Chrome flies.

Remember, I told you about required Mozilla Firefox add-ons? Which you can’t do without when traveling on the Internet. I’ll tell you about similar Chrome extensions - in detail and with pictures.

Top extensions for Google Chrome

Chrome extensions hang out in the extension store. Don't worry - they're completely free, even though they're in the store. There are a million ways to get into it. Several of them...

Thanks to this function of browsers, answers to questions for search engines can be quickly found.

Everything browsers “knock” search engines. Only Google Chrome does not hide this, but honestly warns. Don't believe me? Go get some valerian...

The search engine Yandex has introduced the ability for site owners to watch, like on TV, all the actions of a visitor on any site. Mouse movements, where you click, what pages you go to, what operating system, what browser, what country and city the Internet provider is from (from whom you get the Internet), how many times you visited the site and when, for what queries (what you were looking for) and from where... absolutely everything is visible!!! Today I enjoyed it as if I was sitting behind you. It's called Webvisor.

Called . In the settings you can set the smoothness of page movement, inertia... Selected by moving the sliders...

More main extensions for Google Chrome... I never use the slider on the right to move around the site - I go down the page using the mouse wheel. Why a slider that steals useful workspace? Installed the extension " Remove scrollbars"and forgot about their existence.

How do you navigate sites? Are you pointing at the arrows left and right? Aren't you tired? Isn't it easier and faster with a mouse? I have been using a special program for a long time gMote and I control the mouse not only for navigation in the browser, but also in Windows Explorer, when moving through folders. If you only want to use such a miracle in your browser, there is an extension Gestures for Chrome.

Many people create and edit texts, tables and presentations on Google Drive. But few people know about the convenient free plugins, the so-called “add-ons,” that developers from different countries are constantly creating for this online editor. What additions for Google Docs in 2018 are most interesting to employees of online stores and online service sites – the site says

Open any text document on your Google Drive and look at the eight-item top menu. One of them, the second from the right, is called, depending on the language of your account, “Add-ons” or “Add-ons”, “Add-ons”, “Dapaunnni”, “Tolyktyrular”. There is a similar point in Google sheets, presentations, forms, pictures.

From this item a submenu will drop out, in which at first - if you do not have any add-ons installed - there will be only one line: “Download add-ons” (“Add-ons” and so on).

Click - and you find yourself in a special section of the Store, which is dedicated specifically to additions to Google Docs. And, in particular, in this section there are the following additions:

Add-ons for exporting to the WordPress admin area with images and markup

If your website or blog is based on the WordPress content management system, you know that inserting formatted and illustrated text into your admin area, selected in its entirety and copied from Documents, is not without problems.

Set of text styles – Styles

Text styles (sets of several font and paragraph settings for body text and headings), beloved by many Word users, are now available in Documents.

Export from Analytics in one click – Supermetrics

The connecting link between Google Drive and Google Analytics, Adwords, YouTube Analytics, Facebook Ads, Twitter Ads and two dozen other platforms is the application Supermetrics.

You mark the required metric data on the Analytics portal or, say, Adwords, click - and a table with all this is cleverly inserted into your document. Diagrams, if any, are also immediately imported.

Your Google file can be a Google spreadsheet, a text, a presentation, a survey form, or an image.

Cleaning text from stamps – Glavred

The well-known software from copywriting guru Maxim Ilyakhov “Glavred” also has an add-on version for Google Docs. You can’t say anything better about the service than the copywriters-creators (except to clarify: we are talking about the Russian language):

A set of icons for any topic – Insert Icon for Docs

The same as above, but for vector icons, with the ability to select the color of the icon, the application gives Insert Icon for Docs.

By the way, in product descriptions or delivery features on store websites, it would often be a good idea to replace a number of eternally repeated words with icons - from this or from any similar application. At a minimum, a smartphone icon instead of the word “phone” is always appropriate.

Copying an image from the middle of a document – ​​Image Extractor

You can’t just take and copy an image from a Google text document. More precisely, the picture is copied to the buffer - but in such a “smoker’s format”, which can then not be inserted into either the graphic editor or the site admin panel. You won't be able to save it to disk either.

There are, of course, editorial secrets: a picture copied from Google Docs can only be inserted well into a Word document. And from there it can be immediately copied again - this time in the format of a healthy person. Another option: temporarily save your Google document as html, then the images will be retrieved as usual. But all these machinations, you see, are not at the level of the 21st century.

Addition Image Extractor It just takes and makes the pictures in Documents downloadable.

Checking text for SEO-friendliness as it is created – SEMrush SEO Writing Assistant

And finally, add-on from SEMrush checks a Google document for readability, the presence and distribution of a pre-entered core of keywords in it.

Important feature: the add-on requires registration on SEMrush.com. However, probably all internet marketers and SEO experts already have one.
