Four Browser Extensions We Love<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Browser extensions “extend” the functionality of your browser. While too many can bog down your browser, the right ones can make a big difference in your browsing experience. Here are four extensions we use and recommend, along with a short description and a download link for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. uBlock Origin (The “Silence the Noise” Tool)<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you only install one thing today, make it this one. Unlike some “ad blockers” that actually sell your data or let some ads through, uBlock Origin<\/b> is completely free, open-source, and incredibly lightweight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ublock Origin (and uBlock Origin Lite) strip away those blinking, blinding banners, pop-ups, and\u2014best of all\u2014those annoying 30-second ads before YouTube videos.<\/span><\/p>\n

It makes pages load faster because your computer doesn’t have to download all that advertising “junk.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Download Links<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

uBlock Origin for Edge<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

uBlock Origin for Firefox<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Dark Reader (Save Your Eyes!)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Ever open a website at night and feel like you\u2019re staring directly into the sun?\u00a0 Dark Reader<\/b> fixes that instantly by giving every website a “Night Mode.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Dark Reader transforms bright white websites (such as Wikipedia or news sites) into dark gray or black backgrounds with white text.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can adjust the brightness and contrast yourself. It\u2019s a lifesaver for those of us who are getting older and have trouble reading the black text on bright screens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dark Reader for Edge<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Dark Reader for Firefox<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

OneTab (For those who don’t like closing tabs)<\/span><\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve all been there: you start with one tab, and an hour later, you have 30 open, and your computer is starting to slow down.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you install OneTab and you click the OneTab<\/b> icon, it instantly “shrinks” all your open tabs into a single, neat list on one page.<\/span><\/p>\n

We like it because it saves up to 95% of your computer\u2019s memory (RAM) instantly. Whenever you want to go back to a page, just click it from the list. It\u2019s like a pause button for browsing.<\/span><\/p>\n

OneTab for Chrome<\/strong><\/span><\/a>

\nOneTab for Edge<\/span><\/a>

\nOneTab for Firefox<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Grammarly Free Version (A Digital Proofreader)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Even the best writers make typos. Grammarly<\/b> sits quietly in the corner of your browser and watches while you type emails, Facebook posts, or comments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Grammarly underlines spelling and grammar mistakes in red. Just hover your mouse over the word, and it suggests the fix.<\/span><\/p>\n

We love it because it works inside almost every website and many online apps. It will help you make sure your writing is the best it can be.<\/span><\/p>\n

Grammarly for Chrome<\/strong><\/a>
\n<\/span>
\nGrammarly for Edge<\/span><\/a>
\n<\/span><\/strong>
\nGrammarly for Firefox<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
