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.
4. Wappalyzer
Another helpful extension for my web-developer friends out there. It kinda scans websites and tells what technology it is using.

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.
