The biggest reason why Google Chrome is so preferred is that it is faster than other browsers and can be customized as we wish. Figuring out which of the thousands of add-ons available in the Chrome Web Store will be useful to you can be a bit tiring.
To save you from this trouble; We have compiled 15 great Google Chrome extensions that we think can be useful for everyone, from students to designers, from designers to everyday users.
You can adjust the volume of the video you watch via Chrome as you wish: Volume Master
While watching any video or movie over the internet, we may encounter instability in sound levels. To give an example, in a movie you are watching, the sound of the character dialogues may be low, but the sound of the effects in the background may be loud, or even though your headphone volume is at the top, the sound of any video may seem very low to you.
Volume Master allows you to customize the volume of every video you watch on Chrome with a single click.
Shazam to find a song whose name you don’t know
We can also access Shazam, which many of us know on our phones, as an extension for Chrome. We use Shazam to find the name of a song that is currently playing but we do not know its name.
If you don’t want to search “da da da da” on YouTube for songs you can’t find, this add-on is just for you.
Google Translate, which allows you to translate instantly:
Thanks to this plug-in, you can easily translate any text into any language you want within 1-2 seconds. When you select the text you want to translate, we can directly see the translation of that text in the language we want, and this saves us a little time.

Did you know that before watching a movie or TV series, you can access all the details of the content you watched with a single click? Right Click Search IMDb:

After looking at the covers and seeing one of them catch your eye, can’t you stop yourself from thinking about the movie, “Is this movie good?” or “Will my time be wasted?”?

If you are one of those who like to both browse and watch videos, Picture-in-Picture:
Any video or series, movie, etc. you watch. In parts that do not interest us, we can switch to a different tab and look at things on the internet. If we do not have two or more monitors that you are actively using, we can either only hear the sound and do other work, or we may not have the luxury of looking at something else. If you like to multitask, this plugin is perfect for you.
You can simultaneously watch the new episode of your favorite TV series or any video while doing your work via Chrome. Moreover, thanks to its ‘resizable’ feature, you can resize the video you watch as you wish.

Tab Resize is again a great add-on for those who do not have dual or more monitors. It allows you to split Chrome tabs and the screen you are using with a single click. For example; You can do research in one tab and take notes or write about your research in the other tab. This is just an example. Of course, it’s up to you how you use it.
CrxMouse Chrome to assign commands to your mouse as you wish:
If you work with a lot of tabs at the same time in Chrome, switching between tabs can sometimes be a pain. Suppose you want to switch to a different tab and instead of clicking on that tab, you press the cross sign. Then you have to go into the past and go through a world of trouble to open that tab again.
With the CrxMouse plugin, you can assign commands to your mouse as you wish. For example; If you hold down the right mouse button and drag up and then right, you can switch to the tab to the right of the current tab. This is just an example, you can make personalizations as you wish.
OneTab to list a lot of tabs with one click:
We can describe this add-on as a blessing for those who work in many tabs. When you work in many tabs on Chrome, the names of the tabs do not appear, and as memory usage increases, slowdowns and freezes may occur.
