Chrome is the most widely used internet browser on the market. It impresses not only with its speed and its modern, clear design, but also with a large number of extensions that make surfing a bit more pleasant. Read our ten free add-on favorites for Chrome here.
Start.me
With Start.me you can create your own individual browser start page. Organize bookmarks, notes, to-do lists, emails and feeds from the social network - all clearly displayed and at a glance.
WhatsApp as a browser add-on
Not only emails, but also messenger messages can be easily displayed in your Chrome browser. If you already use WhatsApp on your PC with the help of WebApp, you will love this add-on . Reduced to the WhatsApp symbol next to the search bar in the browser, you can quickly access your chats and receive notifications when new messages are received..
GMX Mailcheck and Gmail Checker
The list of your open tabs keeps getting longer and longer? With the GMX Mailcheck or the Gmail Checker you can lighten your browser by an additional tab. The add-on symbols indicate the arrival of new messages directly in Google Chrome. The add-ons also enable you to manage multiple mail accounts in parallel. So you have everything in one icon and everything at one click.
AdBlocker
The AdBlocker Google protects you from annoying advertisements while surfing. In some online newspapers / TV media libraries, you may be asked to deactivate the AdBlocker so that you can view the content of the website. You can set the AdBlocker extension in your browser individually for individual websites..
Chrome Remote Desktop
You can use Chrome Remote Desktop to securely access other computers over the Internet. The other way around, you can also give other users access to your device.
I don't care about cookies
As the name suggests, you get rid of I don't care about cookies , the recurring cookie warnings when you open a website. Since the GDPR came into force in May 2018, website operators have been obliged to obtain consent for the use of cookies from users. If you delete your cookies regularly, you will even have to give this consent repeatedly. If you have installed "I don't care about cookies", the cookie warning will disappear from Google Chrome.
Click & Clean
Click & Clean deletes your browser history immediately after you close it, so be on the safe side by preventing your search history and visited websites from being tracked. For example, if you only want to clear the cache but not the cookies, you can make individual settings in Click & Clean and adapt them to your needs.
Stealthy
With the Stealthy extension for Google Chrome, you can, for example, access blocked sites in Germany or pretend YouTube is accessing the video platform from another country. Stealthy can be used free of charge, but if you need an American IP, there may be costs for a corresponding account.
Tip: In addition to add-ons, which represent an extension of a program, plug-ins can also make working on the PC easier. A plug-in is independent software with its own functions. Here we show you how you can install, uninstall and display plug-ins in Google Chrome.
