Useful Extensions of the Google Chrome Web Browser

It is clear that everyone has different tasks on the Internet, as well as habits, and therefore everyone uses those tools that solve his/her tasks, and to which he/she is accustomed. I, for example, started with Internet Explorer, then used a wrapper around it – MyIE, then there was Fifefox, and since then for many years this is Chrome (but at the same time, as a web developer, I always have all the other web browsers at hand: both the mentioned Firefox and Internet Explorer, and Opera). Anyway, few people are satisfied with the regular functionality of web browsers, and therefore it is expanded with additional modules. Below I wanted to share which extensions of the Google Chrome web browser I personally use.

All the Chrome extensions listed below are free, are located in the Chrome Web Store (links from logos and names lead there) and they are installed directly from it in a regular way. The list is given in the alphabetical order:

• 

  AdBlock Plus

  An advertisement blocker, including one inserted into videos, with the ability to configure your own blocking rules. For example, my rules for blocking YouTube recommendations:

  ##ytd-item-section-renderer[is-playlist-shelf]
  ##ytd-item-section-renderer[is-playlist-video-container]

• 

  BrowserSec VPN

  A proxy for bypassing network locks, and also for additional traffic encryption.

• 

  Context Menu Search

  A pop-up context menu for quick search of the selected text on other websites. My settings that can be imported:

  [
  ["-1","Google","http://www.google.com/search?q=TESTSEARCH",true],
  ["-1","Google Images","http://www.google.com/images?q=TESTSEARCH",true],
  ["-1","IMDb","http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=TESTSEARCH",true],
  ["-1","Wikipedia","https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=TESTSEARCH",true]
  ]

• 

  Disable Content-Security-Policy

  Unblocking the ban of some sites (particularly, Facebook) of the embedding external code into them (particularly, my JavaScipt bookmarklets).

• 

  Download All Images

  Detecting all possible images on the current page and downloading them all at once in one ZIP archive.

• 

  Empty New Tab Page

  A completely ascetic (white) new web browser tab, without any traces of history, advertising, etc.

• 

  Instant Downloader

  Works like the Download All Images extension but specifically for Instagram profile pages, downloads all the selected images from there at once.

• 

  Save Webpages Offline as MHTML

  Saving the current web page into a single file of the MIME HTML (*.mhtml) format for archival purposes or offline use. I use this extension when the following, WebScrapBook, does not work.

• 

  WebScrapBook

  Saving the current web page into a single file of the HTML (*.html) format for archival purposes or offline use. Does not work with some websites – in this case, I use the previous extension, Save Webpages Offline as MHTML.
