This extension allows you to set a daily allowance limit for “social media and distracting websites”. It defaults to only 10 minutes. Your daily allowance is the number of minutes you are allowed to browse the sites in your distraction list. If you are a hardcore productivity geek, you can enable the nuclear option from the settings which block all the websites completely. The nuclear option can block all websites if you want to spend time offline working on difficult stuff when you can’t afford distractions.
Allows you to capture almost everything on the Internet. From research material to memes, you can save everything to your Evernote account with just a few clicks. The best part about saving content with the Web Clipper is that you have a saved copy in your Evernote even if/after the web page has gone offline. This extension also allows you to take screenshots. The best part about this extension is that it allows you to capture only parts of a page.
Chrome extension allows you to stay productive all day without forgetting any of your tasks. The clean interface makes it easy to keep an eye on all your tasks for the day. You can easily collaborate with other people who use Todoist on the tasks and projects. You can leave comments on tasks for your classmates. What I like the most about Todoist is that it automatically suggests you time and date for tasks based on your schedule. When you create a task, it will suggest a date if you click the calendar icon next to the task name.
Formerly known as Readability, Mercury Reader allows students to hide distracting features in online articles—it removes ads, comment sections, and any other content that is irrelevant to the article, while keeping useful features like photographs and other images.
Helps you work with two open windows side by side. Working on just one monitor can be tiring because of all the switching between multiple windows. You can drag and drop windows side by side yourself but this extension helps you do it with just a few clicks. Dualless offers many different layout variations to choose from. All you have to do is select two tabs you want to split and click the extension’s icon to select the window split layout.
Helps you read online content much faster by automatically highlighting the most important parts of the page. It can help you cut down your reading time in half. Rather than reading the whole article, you can click the Auto Highlight icon in the menu bar after installing the extension and it will highlight passages in the content that are the most important. The extension highlights passages with a yellow background. You can edit the color scheme of the highlighted text from the extension options page.
Replace and customize your New Tab page with this dashboard extension (countdown, clocks, quotes, images, texts, etc.). It will help you to focus and be productive with your main goal or event / deadline. Eliminate distractions and beat procrastination with a reminder of your goal or event on every new tab.
Tracks the time you spend in the active tab or window of Chrome, or your ChromeOS device. This gives you a clear picture of what you were actually doing all day, to better manage your digital life. If you walk away from your computer for a few minutes, RescueTime automatically figures out when you're away and stops tracking.
