Useful Chrome Extensions

Google Chrome is the most used web browser in the world, but it's less than perfect. Google keeps adding and then deleting new features, clogging your UI, and has no regard for privacy (even tho they insist on it in Privacy and security section). Instead of making our browsing experience smooth and seamless, they just bombard us with a plethora of useless “updates” and “improvements”. Luckily, there are extensions, made by people seemingly fed up with Google not doing their job. Extensions range from the most useful thing in the universe to I am gonna slow down your PC to the speed of a snail. So, just because an extension seems great at first, doesn't mean it's good or even useful for you. In this list, I am going to showcase some of the extensions I use. The List will be divided into 2 sections: Essential/Always on and Non-essential/Situational.

What is JSON Viewer?

The most beautiful and customizable JSON/JSONP highlighter that your eyes have ever seen. It is a Chrome extension for printing JSON and JSONP. Notes:

  • This extension might crash with other JSON highlighters/formatters, you may need to disable them
  • To highlight local files and incognito tabs you have to manually enable these options on the extensions page
  • Sometimes when the plugin updates chrome leaves the old background process running and revokes some options, like the access to local files. When this happen just recheck the option that everything will work again
  • Works on local files (if you enable this in chrome://extensions)
