Google Chrome Add-ons: Tips and Tricks for Getting the Most Out of Your Extensions



Chrome extensions are add-ons for Chromium-based browsers, such as Google Chrome, which enable users to customize the Chrome browsing experience. Built using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, extensions make use of various APIs supported by the browser. Extensions are typically downloaded from online marketplaces, with the Chrome Web Store being the most widely used. Chrome extensions work on most Chromium browsers, not just Google Chrome developed by Google.




Google Chrome Add-ons



Many of the best Chrome extensions for security are specialists. Chrome antivirus add-ons look out for malware, anti-tracking extensions prevent web trackers from spying on you, and password managers let you easily create, store, and use unique passwords for all your accounts. And for comprehensive malware protection, use antivirus software for your Windows 10, Windows 11, Mac, Android, or iOS device.


Some of the add-ons in this category will scan for malware, others will automatically wipe your history to help you stay anonymous online, and some can secure your internet connection against spies and hackers.


Like all the add-ons here, Avast Online Security protects against only browser-borne threats. A more comprehensive, dedicated security solution like Avast One will defend against malware and other threats from outside your browser, such as a Wi-Fi hacker or a file you downloaded via peer-to-peer file sharing.


Thanks to these add-ons, we can enjoy additional functionality, such as viewing office documents in a browser window, checking email messages in automatic mode, showing the weather forecast, and much more.


Typically, you can get extensions for Chrome from the Chrome Web Store. However, the mobile version of the Chrome browser doesn't have any. The search option isn't even available to search for your favorite extensions. This scenario is why you have to use alternative browsers. Some browsers do not offer extensions per se, but they bring many features you may look for in an extension. Others, on the other hand, incorporate add-ons to some extent. Those browsers generally display the browser in desktop format because that's how extension functionality operates." } }, "@type": "Question", "name": "What do Chrome Extensions do?", "acceptedAnswer": "@type": "Answer", "text": "Chrome extensions are similar to the applications on your phone, from saving money with the Honey extension to perfecting your Grammar with Grammarly.
