Notepad by ClickUp: https://tinyurl.com/yd8j3sn2 (Note Taker) This Extension brings an Icon in the corner, which allows you to take notes wherever you are on the web.

Evernote Web Clipper: https://tinyurl.com/pjvz9vf (Web Clipper - Note Taker) This Extensions allows you to make copies of articles, web pages, images, and more, while allowing you to annotate them, and save them into your 'Notebook'

Save to Pocket: https://tinyurl.com/mnqdwwm (Page Saver) This Extensions allows you to make a copy of page into your 'pocket' which lets you review the page or article at a later date. This is a cleaner process than just bookmarking the page.

Popup my Bookmarks: https://tinyurl.com/y8mh2au7 (Bookmark Manager) When you click on it's icon, it makes a drop down tree of bookmarks, along with a search bar, making it perfect for students how have many bookmarks.

Save to Raindrop.io: https://tinyurl.com/vw2knuc (Bookmark Manager) This one takes a different route, and is more similar to save to pocket. However when you open it up, you can export/import bookmarks, links, images, and drag and drop into different 'collections' which are like folders. You can edit these collections, changing the name or icon.

Grammarly: https://tinyurl.com/zcocxl6 (Spell Checker) This Extension uses an advanced AI to check not only your spelling, but your grammar. No more Ds for incorrect grammar! It works with most text fields, and integrates with Google Docs.

Checker Plus for Gmail: https://tinyurl.com/p3fbby6 (Email Checker) This Extensions send a email inbox, right into your browser! No more opening new tabs to send or read an email. You may be alarmed at some of permissions required for some settings, but the developer does not take advantage.

QuicKey: https://tinyurl.com/yd62ct8q (Tab Switcher) If you open a lot of tabs often, this Extension allows you to open it up, and easily look up what tabs are open, quickly change through them, and close them without leaving your main tab!

The Great Suspender: https://tinyurl.com/knhfsdc (Memory Saver) Again, if you open a lot of tabs, this can 'suspend' those not in use, saving up memory and processing power, while keeping the tabs in place. To 'wake up' a tab, simply head to the tab in question, and click anywhere.

uBlock Origin: https://tinyurl.com/mg6fabu (Adblocker) If you dislike annoying ads, or they distract you, this Extension will remove them!

Session Buddy: https://tinyurl.com/hvmcbwm (Tab Manager) If you have a computer that crashes often, or need help arranging tabs in set collections, then this Extension will help you. It saves all open is tabs in a Recorded Sessions folder, so if your computer crashes, you can open Session Buddy up and set up the tabs again!

MyBib: Free Citation Generator: https://tinyurl.com/y6lb68kt (Citation Gen) If you need to cite a source for a project, then click on it's icon to choose a style, and then click to copy to clipboard. It also tells you if the site you are on is credible or not!

LastPass: https://tinyurl.com/nzqap3p (Password Manager) Truth is, you probably use only one password for everything. Well no longer! With this Extension, you can generate secure passwords, which LastPass will remember for you, so you can have a unique 25 digit password for everything. It has an Add password feature, so whenever you sign into something, it will remember the password for you, and it has auto fill, for even easier signing in. All you need to remember is a master password.

New tab page by start.me: https://tinyurl.com/y7jwbvhb (New Tab) If you think the normal new tab is not for you, get this Extension. It creates a customization-able new tab page with widgets, bookmarks, and the ability to add custom search engines (Such as YouTube, Wikipedia, the Internet Archives). It can be a huge help when it comes to starting the day. (Note: When you just load into a Chromebook, the Pathways site will attempt to load in, it may or may not fail. Just close the tab and open a new for the Start.me. You can open up the normal pathways start page either manually, or hitting the browser home button.)

HTTPS Everywhere: https://tinyurl.com/ormpq4o (Security) HTTPS is the secure and encrypted version of HTTP. All sites should now be HTTPS by default, however some are not. Never fear, for this extension will force sites to become HTTPS if possible, and if not, it will load a warning page letting you know that the site you are joining is probably unsafe.

More Extension Links will be added if necessary, but this is a nice and simple suite to help you on your way to grade perfection!
