AdBlock may be the most popular Google Chrome extension out there. The extension removes the annoyance of banner advertisements from your web experience.

That may seem like a slight difference, but visiting some sites that tend to be bogged down with such ads can really improve your experience. AdBlock also works with Safari, Opera, and Firefox if you don’t have Chrome.

5.Pocket

Pocket  is an easy way to put things aside when you’ve got work to do.

If you come across an article or website that is too long for you to look into — but you’re still interested — hit the Pocket extension and that article/website will end up in your Pocket queue.

All you need is the free app to access the content on your schedule. Pocket is a fantastic bookmarking service.

Use the toolbar button, a keyboard shortcut, or the context menu for quick bookmarking. Add tags to make your bookmarks easy to search later.

The pages appear in your Pocket account, which gets synced across all your devices.

Papier also offers basic rich text formatting that you can enable with keyboard shortcuts and carry over to Web-based text editors.

Papier is great at getting out of the way to let you put your ideas on a page, it is useful for when you need to brainstorm, quickly jot down something.

7. Jot

Jot is at once a simple and beautiful replacement for your new tab page.

It displays a lovely new background image every time you open a tab and lets you list your most important to-dos or short notes for the day in a large, legible font. To retrieve them, all you need to do is launch a fresh tab.

If you don’t need all the bells and whistles of advanced task management extensions, Jot is a great choice that looks better than the rest.  

 

8.Momentum

Momentum is a great extension if you are looking to stay inspired, focused, and productive.

The new tab is very clean and provides you widgets like the local weather, big clock, a to-do list and a customizable shortcut menu of links on the left side, above a beautiful background image that changes every so often.

All the elements in the interface can be tweaked to your liking. What’s especially neat is the ‘focus’ widget, which sits front and center, and displays your main goal for the day.

 

9. Todoist

Todoist is an extension that puts a powerful task list in your browser toolbar and offers a ton of features in a small space.

For starters, you can simply type to add a task or turn the active tab into an item on your list.

It also lets you set a priority and enter a due date or recurring date for each to-do. Plus, it displays your schedule spanning the next seven days in a beautiful interface.

In addition, Todoist pairs with a ton of apps through Zapier to do things like adding your tasks to Google Calendar and creating to-do items from starred messages in Slack.

The only downside to picking Todoist is that certain essential features like tasks reminders and comments require a subscription, which will set you back by $29 a year. Still, it’s not a bad deal for an app that syncs across devices and offers plenty more features for its asking price.

 

10. StayFocusd

With Stay Focusd you can get online distractions out of your system by indulging in them for a bit.

Put sites like Facebook and Twitter on the extension’s Blocked Sites list.
