My Top Chrome Extensions are:
StackOverFlow Power User - Nice Navigation for stackoverflow saves plenty of time scrolling through answers
UBlock Origin - Better Adblock!
Web Search Navigator - Allows you to google only using your keyboard! Huge time saver!
OneTab Saves all your open tabs into a one tab so you can restore next session
Gitako Github File Tree - Nice file tree for github
hackertabdev - allows you to see new libraries, technologies, products, and dev news everytime you open a new tab.
Return Youtube Dislike - since google is a little bit annoying these days
DarkReader - Allows you to read websites in darkmode
DevDocs Web Ext - Allows mini version of devdocs.io so you dont have to switch tabs
Snip-extractor - Copies snippets directly into your snip manager for you
Web-Developer - Convenient tools to use when devtools isn't cutting it.
