Painless Development

 

What if I told you I could save you time, decrease your stress, improve your writing, improve your memory, and improve your productivity?

 

Well, I am telling you those things.

 

 

Chrome Extensions!

 

Google Chrome is not just a browser.  Go to the Chrome Web Store (you can google it) to check out awesome apps and extensions.

 

These are a few of my favorite extensions . . .

 

 

Adguard Adblocker

 

Automatically blocks all ads on the internet (including those pesky video ads before YouTube videos)

 

Makes it impossible for websites to track your clicks

 

 

LastPass

 

Stores and creates super-secure passwords for all your web-based accounts

 

You only have to remember one password!

 

 

Grammarly

 

Automatically highlights spelling and grammar mistakes in all your online writing (emails included)

 

Saves you time (you don't have to re-read an email if you can correct it as you write it)

 

 

Checker Plus for Gmail

 

Creates a little icon in the top right of your browser that shows your number of unread emails and allows you to preview and respond to said emails

 

 

Synergyse Training for Google Apps

 

This extension provides helpful videos and interactive tutorials on Google Apps.  It's really beneficial if you're new to Google Drive and don't know how to use all of its features.

 

So Many More!

 

That's only a little preview of what's out there.  Go to the Chrome Web Store to discover more!
