HackerTagger - Lets you tag people on HN if they're interesting in some way. I've also got tags for anyone who mentioned they're founder of X, for future context in comments.
Kiwi Conversations - checks for HN, Reddit conversations based on the URL you're on (manual research mode by default, but auto-check is available) - also checks Product Hunt and Google News. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kiwi-conversations...
Vimium - I can't imagine using my browser without it anymore. I use it to:
* move around the page
* click on links
* opening new page from browsing history
* refresh page
Basically the only time I need to use mouse or trackpad are pages that have incorrectly marked links (they just add some on-click behaviour without marking element as link)
h264ify - force youtube to use h264 instead of the VP8/VP9 codecs. Unlike h264, which can benefit from hardware decoding, VP8/VP9 are completely done by the CPU, so they eat battery like crazy on laptops.
just make sure your gpu supports accelerated h264 in all formats you are interested in (1080@60, 4K etc), otherwise Chrome will use its own internal SLOW AS CRAP unoptimized SINGLE THREADED software decoder which cant handle 1080@60 on 4GHz Haswell. While supposedly more cpu intensive VP9 plays just fine, Im sure its just coincidence.
Postman and its Http interceptor. fiddle with http requests, manipulate which headers are sent. even intercept Http requests and change values on the flight
This Chrome extension allows you to capture a screenshot, annotate it and create a GitHub issue, a JIRA issue or a Trello Card without leaving your page
All my extensions are like a handicapped version of Firefox feature or extension.
Dynamite [1] - right click on anything than Dynamite / Hide element or selection and it removes a DOM element that was under cursor. Sometimes you have to to this several times to remove something. Firefox has Nuke Anything Enhanced [2]. It allows me to:
- get behind obnoxious popups with no visible close button
- get through dumb subscribe-wall
- remove annoying floating navigation bars (really handy if you like to resize browser windows like me)
The Great Suspender [3] - it unloads tabs unused for specified time and allows to reload them on click. I forgot which one I used on Firefox.
FooTab [4] - blocks loading of tabs on startup - it would be great if The Great Suspender would do this (Firefox do this by default).
I use uBlock Origin and HTTPS Everywhere, but that's just baseline.
When angular.js first came out, a chrome extension was released which displayed popular hacker quotes like "ship it" " when new tabs were opened. What was the name of that extension? I can't remember that after I sold my Mac mini, but that was my favorite.
