Glad to see Cloud To Butt isn't forgotten. 😂
Just watch out for Hola VPN, it's “free” because they route their commercial traffic through your network. The extension used to have many security vulnerabilities and exposed you to tracking – many points on Adios Hola still apply.
Thank you for posting this! 👍
Will change the hola vpn to somethingelse !
I wouldn't recommend anyone to use a password manager that's managed by a company selling it as a service. The point of a password is that only you should have it and no one else. I've been using KeyPass XC for almost an year now, it's open source and should definitely get more recognition on the internet.
I'll update the list to include KeyPass XC.
Thank you for sharing!
Can't install 20 extensions because I need the RAM and the CPU for coding 😂😂😂
Jokes apart this "Save Image as Type" thingy seems quite useful, thank you for sharing! 😁
Oh wow! These are amazing!
I would recomment this one too I just found out from @bolajiAyode - InspireNuggets, that displays whenever you open a new tab and just gives you a new dose of tech inspiration and refreshes every 5seconds!
