I’m a Lifehacks fan! Through the years, I’ve learned many Google Chrome Life Hacks worth telling others about. Chrome has many excellent Google extensions that can help you make your online experience better. Plus, there are a few other neat trade tricks, too.

I’m a fan of using add-ons that make my life simpler. I have already written about many ways for you to add more money in your pockets. It is filled with apps and extensions you can use to save or earn cash back. As I find more goodies like that, I’ll be sure to add them to that post!

Google Chrome Life Hacks Using Extensions

PicMonkey 

PicMonkey is certainly one of the two photo editing software programs I use to improve the appearance of my images. Its extension allows me to take screenshots and upload them directly to the editing page.

LastPass

I don’t know about you, but keeping track of the many passwords we must remember for our outstanding programs is quite taxing. LastPass helps me quickly access my accounts without constantly resetting my passwords. I can also do it on the go because it works on my cell phone. Plus, I can share my login information with my assistant without giving them the right to know my password.

Please note: Pen and paper work too, but it’s more time-consuming to hunt down the page it’s on than to use LastPass.

Colorzilla

Colorzilla comes in handy when you want to change a project’s color theme. With a few clicks of the mouse, you can quickly choose colors on a page and access prior colors used. I use Colorzilla often when I’m making images for the blog and for other clients.

Grammarly 

Grammarly has saved me so many times. Although grammar is not my strong suit, it helps me look a bit more professional as a blogger.

OneTab

I am terrible about opening up MANY tabs on my computer to read the material before I get up. However, I have ended up leaving the computer and not finishing them out. Until I found OneTab, I had to either bookmark a whole bunch of pages I didn’t need/want or just close out of them only to find them later. OneTab allows me to save all of those wonderful websites in a matter of seconds. I can do all kinds of other neat features with it, too. Best of all, it’s FREE to use.

Save to Google Drive 

Save to Google Drive is a handy extension that allows you to share parts or all of a website straight to your Google Drive. That comes in handy when you need something for research papers.

Google Similar Pages

While I may love doing research and earning Swagbucks, I do like handy tools that save me time. The Google Similar Pages extension helps me find similar pages without going back and doing another search.

Netflix Party

I have friends and family members in other states with whom I want to watch certain shows on Netflix. Now, I can do that without being right there with them. With Netflix Party, we can watch Netflix together in sync while chatting on the same screen.

Netflix Categories

How many times have you been in the mood for a particular kind of movie or show and couldn’t find it on Netflix? I’ve been there one too many times. That’s why the Netflix Categories extension is so useful for me. With a few keyboard strokes, I can easily find shows based on my mood.

More Tips and Tricks

As much as I love their apps and extensions, there are other neat Google Chrome Hacks that I find beneficial.

Changing Users

As you know, I work from home as a professional blogger, so I have a lot of links and resources I use while I’m working that I don’t need during my downtime. It’s nice to be able to switch from a business Google account to a personal one. When I switch over to the personal account, it’s filled with bookmarks that are for all pleasure and entertainment value. It’s nice to not have the ‘work’ resources staring me in the face.

Bookmark All Your Tabs at Once

If you have a million tabs open and want to save them all, Command+Shift+D for a Mac or Ctrl+Shift+D for a PC will allow you to save them all to a new or existing folder.

“Pin” a Tab Instead of Bookmarking

For sites you visit frequently, right-click the tab and select “Pin Tab” in the menu to make it a permanent fixture on the left side of your browser.
