7 ways to use chrome extensions for the best experience and ease up your movement in chrome.

 1.Grammarly

Grammarly

Grammarly should be every writer’s best friend. Many people have heard of Grammarly, but few know that beyond spell-checking and clarity corrections, it also helps you avoid plagiarism and provide citation suggestions, saving you time. The extension goes with you to nearly all sites that have text fields and begins running as soon as you start typing.  Typos are a normal part of writing, and Grammarly not only reduces your typing time but improves your writing skills and saves you from worrying about plagiarism when you’re working on that important document.



2.Evernote Web Clipper

Evernote Web Clipper

If you’re a card-carrying member of the Hundred Tabs Open club who struggles to concentrate in the endless sea of distracting content, Evernote is here to help. With the Evernote Web Clipper extension, you can save links to a clipboard for later reading and reference. So, when you come across something interesting on the internet, all you have to do is click Evernote’s elephant icon, and the extension will let you save it directly to your notes without leaving the tab. You also get to organize these links as well as add tags or notes.


3.Checker Plus

Checker Plus

If you’re a heavy chrome user who spends too much time on Gmail, then this extension is perfect for you. Like every other mail checker, it lets you know when new emails arrive, but unlike other mail checkers that stop there, Checker Plus is only just getting started. This extension lets you take action without going back to your Gmail inbox. You can read, forward, delete and even reply to emails without leaving the Chrome tab you’re on.


4.StayFocusd

StayFocusd

This is a productivity extension that helps you limit the time you spend aimlessly surfing the internet. StayFocused controls how much time you spend on specific websites by allowing you to set your own time limit for specific sites of your choosing. Another thing it offers is that you can configure it to completely block any website you think you spend too much time on. This extension is a foolproof way to limit distractions and get you focused on whatever work-related tasks you have at hand.


5.Speechify

Speechify


If you’re the kind to multitask, then you’re going to love Speechify. This extension helps you get through large texts on any website in no time, by reading it to you. You can listen to your emails while working on a doc, or have it read you a news article while you’re writing. What sets Speechify apart from similar extensions is its customisation options which allow you to change the audio speed and choose from over 15 languages with 30 different accents. All you have to do is click on the Speechify extension, and click on “Play.”


6.Pushbullet

Pushbullet

How many times do you pause to pick up your phone or leave your browser during work hours? Some reports estimate that we get distracted every 4 minutes, whether to grab our phones to check notifications or send a quick message. Pushbullet puts all your call, notification, and chat services in your browser, including WhatsApp and SMS messages. You’ll get notified when you receive messages and calls and any action you take on your computer reflects on your phone too.



7.Adblock Plus

Adblock Plus

As one of the most popular ad blockers on Chrome, Adblock Plus allows you to customise and control your web experience. Navigating web pages with a lot of ads can be time-consuming, but this extension allows you to navigate ad-heavy sites by blocking them to give you cleaner content. Another advantage of Adblock Plus is that it is extremely customisable. You get to choose what websites you use it on or what types of ads to block. It is important to note that most free sites rely on the revenue gotten from ads, so you might want to consider how often you block ads while browsing.

This Nigerian is creating software to help the world understand babies’ cries

                              Charles Onu Source: TechCabal When life gives you lemons, you can do whatever you want with them. Problems, on the other hand, require solutions that come from deep thinking and, sometimes, experience. For Canada-based Charles Onu, the problems he experienced in Nigeria formed the womb that would later produce Ubenwa, his innovative healthtech startup that leverages advanced technology to preserve the lives of newborns. In most parts of the world, immediately after a child is born, it undergoes a test called APGAR scoring. This test is a non-invasive examination of the baby that helps to identify whether the child has a medical condition to be treated. At that stage of the baby’s life, though, almost every illness can fall under the life-threatening category, which is why early diagnoses are imperative.  Regrettably, APGAR scoring is a lagging indicator ( a method th...
