Each year, Google highlights a collection of Chrome extensions that stand out for their usefulness, simplicity, and impact on everyday productivity. The 2024 list focused on tools that help users work smarter, stay organized, communicate better, and enhance the browsing experience.
Here are the extensions that made Google’s top selection for 2024.
1. Todoist for Chrome
A clean, fast task manager integrated directly into Chrome. It lets you turn webpages, emails, and ideas into tasks instantly. Ideal for productivity lovers and professionals who want everything organized in one place.
2. Evernote Web Clipper
Perfect for saving articles, screenshots, and highlighted text without clutter. It helps students, researchers, and writers save and categorize information smoothly.
3. Text Blaze
A time-saving extension that lets you build text snippets and templates. If you frequently type similar emails, messages, or content, it cuts your writing time drastically.
4. Immersive Translate
One of the most convenient translation tools of the year. It instantly translates entire pages — including PDFs — into clear, readable text without switching apps.
5. uBlock Origin
A lightweight, highly effective blocker for ads, trackers, pop-ups, and malicious scripts. It speeds up browsing, improves privacy, and creates a cleaner internet experience.
6. Grammarly
A writing assistant that checks grammar, clarity, tone, and style on any page — from emails to social posts. It’s extremely helpful for students, professionals, and anyone who writes daily.
7. Dark Reader
A “must-have” for users who prefer dark mode. It applies clean, customizable dark themes across websites, reducing eye strain during long browsing sessions.
8. Loom (or similar screen-recording extensions)
Great for capturing tutorials, walkthroughs, explanations, quick demos, or sharing work. Simple, fast, and ideal for remote teams or educators.
9. Password Managers (LastPass, 1Password, etc.)
These extensions securely store passwords, auto-fill login forms, and help generate strong credentials. They boost online security while saving time.
10. Tab & Session Managers (Momentum, Tab Wrangler, Session Buddy)
