10 Best Chrome Extensions for Productivity in 2025
Your browser can be a distraction machine or a productivity powerhouse. Here are the essential extensions to help you focus and get things done.
Chrome is the most popular browser in the world, but out of the box, it's pretty basic. Extensions unlock its true potential.
1. uBlock Origin
Not just for blocking ads, but for speeding up page loads by preventing heavy tracking scripts from running. It's the first extension everyone should install.
2. Grammarly (or LanguageTool)
Save yourself from embarrassing typos in emails and Slack messages. Good communication is key to productivity.
3. OneTab
Do you have 50 tabs open? OneTab collapses them all into a single list, saving up to 95% of memory. It's a lifesaver for your RAM.
4. StayFocusd
Limits the amount of time you can spend on time-wasting websites. Once your 10 minutes of Twitter are up, that's it for the day.
5. ClicklyTools Shortcuts
Okay, we might be biased, but bookmarking our Pomodoro Timer and Unit Converter can save you from constantly Googling for simple tools.
Pro Tip: Don't install too many extensions! They run in the background and can slow down your browser. Stick to the essentials.
Try it yourself!
