Hi Tomer, have you heard about daily.dev? We'd love to hear your thoughts on it. It's one of the most loved Chrome Extensions for web devs.

Was not expecting an actual good list. Very nice. Going to try a few of these out.
Might I recommend trying out:

  • wappalyzer: which detects technologies used client and server side
  • dark reader (set to opt-in per website)
  • nightTab: a customizable start page, very handy for getting places and fast while looking sleek in the process. (I'm a contributor, a complete over haul is in the pipeline)

Thank u Samuele! Well I also agree about Wappalyzer, this is a great one, sorry I did not include it in the list but I wanted to focus on those extensions that I feel are more handy for everyday rather than using once in a while. As for the other two, definitely great additions! :)

Thanks Tomer for mentioning Checkbot (I'm the developer behind it). 😄 There's more information about Checkbot on the homepage (checkbot.io/) and the list of web best practices it tests for (checkbot.io/guide/). Let me know if you've got any questions.

For JSON previewing, I prefer JSON Viewer. I like its configurable and theme selections.

I would like you to check some of my recommendations and feel free to add some of them in your list.

📌 Awesome Screenshot & Screen Recorder - As the name says it's really awesome, let's us record and capture browser screen. Although there is a limit for free users but I think most of the people use it for small tasks. Link - chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/...

📌 Color by Fardos - Color Picker - Pick colors from websites, save colors & gradients, get matching shades and tints and create beautiful gradients. Link - chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/...

📌 Volume Master - Control volume of any tab. Link - chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/...

📌 Bookmark Sidebar - Adds a toggleable sidebar with all your bookmarks at the edge of your browser window. Link -chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/...

Hope you find them useful.👍
