Best Browser(chrome or firefox) extensions for students and professionals

The browser(chrome or firefox) extensions listed below are the ones that I use for my productivity and convenience. And I am sure that some of you are already using these extensions or will start using them immediately after reading this post.

Some of these extensions are for developers only and the rest are for everyone including developers.

So, here is the list of browser extensions that I use daily:

AdBlocker Ultimate

AdBlocker Ultimate is a free extension that blocks ads and malicious domains known to spread malware. It also disables sneaky tracking.

Check out the extension:
For chrome
For firefox

I don't care about cookies

Remove cookie warnings from almost all websites!

The EU regulations require that any website using tracking cookies must get user's permission before installing them. Imagine how irritating that becomes when you surf anonymously or if you delete cookies automatically every time you close the browser.

Check out the extension:
For chrome
For firefox

Hide YouTube Fullscreen Controls

Hide the YouTube fullscreen controls when you move the cursor to the display border.

Check out the extension:
For chrome
For firefox

Video Speed Controller

Speed up, slow down, advance and rewind HTML5 audio/video with shortcuts.

Check out the extension:
For chrome
For firefox

Octotree - GitHub code tree (for developers only)

Browser extension that enhances GitHub code review and exploration.

Features:

  • Fast IDE-like code tree
  • Quick file search
  • Support GitHub themes
  • Support private repositories
  • Omni bookmarking
  • High performance, working with repositories of any size

The extension is free but you can also opt for pro.

Check out the extension:
For chrome
For firefox

If you use browser other than chrome or firefox, search for these types of extensions on the internet.

I hope this helps someone out there.

Don't forget to mention what extensions you use in the comments below!

I use Brave instead of chrome which has built-in ad blocking and tracking. I also use Octotree and Video Speed Controller, and Codever to manage my bookmarks and code snippets...
