  • This step is learn which are blogger then they uses google chorme extension.Its very effective way to blogger.so this is the good content for all blogger.Thanks for nice sharing google chorme extensions.

  • amazing session chrome extensions for blogger, really nice information shared, loved it , Thanks 🙂

  • Very helpful post! I’ve learnt a lot and almost 8 extensions personally used. Thanks for this guide.

  • I would add three adds into the most useful:
    1) Like everyone said an Ad Blocker, I like ABP only because it was the first one I’ve used and never run into any issue.
    2) Disconnect, it will block any Analytics, Advertisement, or Social features within a webpage.
    3) I would change Pocket for Google Keep. My logic behind it, is if people are using chrome, they probably are using a google account. Google Keep is a note keeping, tracking and filtering made by Google. It can be accessed via Web, Android or iPhone and with the extension all it takes is a click and it will add your page as a note into it.
