All of Google’s favorite Chrome extensions can be found on a single page in the Chrome Web Store.
These Chrome extensions for 2021 were handpicked by Google to help users remain connected, get things done, and have fun while doing it. There are a total of 12 Chrome extensions, which are categorised based on the capabilities they provide. These Chrome extensions are designed to help you get more out of the browser by enhancing your productivity and allowing you to customise your experience. They may also be downloaded for free.
“Stay productive,” “Learn virtually,” and “Make (and save) some coin” are the four subcategories of Google’s top Chrome extensions for 2021. There are a number of Chrome extensions that may help you keep in touch with friends and family while you’re out and about.
Work together with others by exchanging information and ideas.
Loom has been named one of the best Chrome extensions for 2021 by Google. Using this tool, you may record a video of yourself demonstrating your job to new staff or clients. It reduces the time and effort required to type and explain various jobs.
Mote is the next addon in this category, which allows you to contribute voice comments and audio material to documents, assignments, emails, and forms that are shared. You may also use any website or app to record an audio message and distribute it as a QR code.
Make the most of your time
Aside from the need for clear communication and virtual cooperation, Google has identified several ways for keeping productive when working or studying at home. Forest, a self-motivating app that encourages users to plant virtual trees and get incentives, is one of the best in this category.
One of Google’s favourite Chrome extensions this year is Dark Reader. It provides eye-protection by turning on a dark theme for all of your browser’s tabs. All of these options are available in addition to the brightness and contrast adjustments. Additionally, you may create a “ignore-list” to keep some sites from going black.
Instead of having a cluttered browser window, Google recommends the Tab Manager Plus extension, which consolidates all of your open tabs into one place. The extension may also be used to identify and restrict the number of tabs in a single window.
Virtually educate yourself
Extensions that make virtual learning easier may be found on Google’s top Chrome extensions page. With Kami, you can combine PDFs, photos, and other materials to create an engaging online learning environment. The use of live annotations, video and audio recordings, and drawings may also allow for real-time collaboration between teachers and students on educational projects. It’s also possible to import student work from a variety of learning management systems, such as Schoology and Microsoft Teams as well as Google Classroom.
A tool that allows instructors to put questions and conversations right into any website is the next option in our series: InsertLearning. Students may answer the questions and join the debate on that page. They may also jot down their thoughts while they study the material presented by their professors.
This year, Google has included Toucan in its list of favorite extensions for those who wish to learn a new language. Translations of words and phrases appear in your target language whenever you visit a website with this extension. In addition to English, Spanish, and French, this software supports a wide range of additional languages as well.
Make a few dollars (and keep them).
Stylus is one of the Chrome extensions that Google has selected to tailor your surfing experience. It enables you to create and install custom themes and skins for the websites that you frequent the most. Another one of Google’s favorite extensions is Rakuten, which is a shopping assistant that helps you locate discounts and bargains on the Internet.
