You will find the best Google Chrome extensions -- sometimes also called add-ons or plugins -- on this page.
Browser extensions can enhance your web browsing experience in many
ways, from improving your online security to changing how websites that
you visit look and feel.
They can also improve your productivity, help you save money while
you are shopping, or resolve annoyances of Chrome itself or websites
that you visit regularly using the browser.
The list of best Google Chrome extensions has been separated on
multiple pages as it is quite long and would take too long on average to
load.
The extensions have been grouped, and links are provided so that you
can jump directly to the category that you are interested in.
