Best Browser Extensions For The Developer & Designers
➤ In this Blog, we are going to discuss the extensions that are very useful and will save time while coding and make you a better developer in your journey. Extensions and tools make our daily tasks less of a chore. Extensions are one of the best ways to improve your developer experience and it helps to build the project faster with using Extension.
Why should we use an Extension?
➤ Extensions usually speed up the process & make the developer task easy. For Example, if we want to make a website in dark mode, we need to write a lot of code & a huge amount of time must be spent writing colors for every tag. But there are several Extensions that convert a website into dark mode using few clicks. Don't forget Extensions open door to security risks.
➤ Extensions can perform almost anything. They are used for ad-blocking, one-click password storage, spell-checking, dark mode, to-do list, and more. Extensions work with the flow of information through your browser.
Install only few Extensions.
➤ Don't make your browser work slowly by overloading more and more Extensions. It may increase security risks and more CPU power is needed & it slightly heats up your device. Make sure you are installing safe & secure Extensions otherwise it may leads to security risks.
Keep Extensions up to date.
➤ If you are not using the extension delete it. If you are using extensions on regular basis keep up for a few days and update it. Always keep a note of how many extensions you installed and used it, sometimes you will see an extension that is not known to you. Keep updating your extension and delete it after completion of your usage.
Let's Go Here are my Top 5 favorite Extensions
