Chrome won't be complete until you install these 4 open source extensions!

In the endless list of Chrome extensions, there are some great options, some good extensions, and also some malicious extensions that you can add to your Chrome browser, but what many of us don't know is that there are open-source Chrome extensions. Most of them are free with a one-time payment or a low-cost subscription, which helps the developers to continuously improve and keep them secure. Among these open-source extensions, there are 4 useful extensions that you should install.

 

Bookmark Sidebar

Organize bookmark bar more conveniently

 

The Bookmark Sidebar extension lets you add a sidebar to your Google Chrome browser that contains all your bookmarks. Here, you can add, manage, open, or even organize all your Chrome bookmarks. And if you already have bookmarks saved in your Chrome browser, you don't need to set them up separately. Bookmark Sidebar will automatically load all your saved bookmarks, along with their folders and subfolders.

Dark Reader

Increase reading ability and reduce eye strain at night

 

Dark Reader is one of the most important features. If you often use your computer in a dark room (which is not recommended), then your Windows computer is probably always in dark mode. However, there are still some websites that do not adapt to dark mode, shining a bright white light on you that makes your eyes sting and hurt.

The Dark Mode extension solves that problem. It forces all websites to go dark—especially those with easy-to-read text.

DuckDuckGo Search & Tracker Protection

Add a layer of security and hide from search trackers

 

While it is possible to use the DuckDuckGo browser , many people choose not to leave Chrome and install this extension. DuckDuckGo is built on security, and with the DuckDuckGo Search & Tracker Protection extension, you can enjoy most of its security features on the Chrome browser. When you install the DuckDuckGo Search & Tracker Protection extension, it replaces Chrome's search engine and homepage with DuckDuckGo.

Clipboard History Manager

Remember everything you copied in Chrome

People often use the Chrome browser for their work, and while working, they copy a lot of text, quotes, and sometimes images. However, Chrome's clipboard limit was a disadvantage - until people started using Clipboard History Manager. This open-source extension is a secure clipboard manager that automatically saves everything you copy. What's more convenient is that it saves everything locally on your device, so as long as you have memory on your PC, you can copy and paste as much as you like.

Clipboard History Manager also offers a Pro plan for $1.99/month or $14.99/year, which includes cross-device and cloud sync, prioritized feature requests, and mobile apps.
