1. Panda

This extension is kinda all in one solution for your new tab. This is a news and inspiration dashboard which is heavily customizable to your needs. Whether you are a ui/ux designer, web developer or some crazy entrepreneur this will help you to see inspiration and news every time you open a new tab.

3. Lastpass

This is kinda my go to extension for managing passwords & credentials. It also got a smartphone version so that you are never away from your vault. Also uses some of the industry standard encryptions for keeping your credentials safe.

Ever found something while surfing the internet but you don’t have time/willingness to read it now but it might come in handy later or you want to read it later even when in offline or when in your other devices? (Pretty big question. Its okay if you don’t understand. Pocket’s website will take care of you ) Pocket does serve this purpose very well. I tried bookmarking first but trust pocket does the job better than those remixed pile of bookmark.

6. Screenshot Webpages

As the name suggests, It takes Screenshots of Webpages, even the entire webpage at once.

 

7. Edge: The Web Ruler

Ruler for measuring pixels in Webpages.
