This is Hacker Public Radio Episode 3,945 for Friday the 15th of September 2023.
Today's show is entitled, My Chrome Plugins.
It is hosted by Daniel Person and is about five minutes long.
It carries a clean flag.
The summary is Daniel Person summarizes the essential plug-ins he uses every day.
Hello hackers and welcome to another podcast with Daniel and I'm going to talk about a bunch
of different subjects and I'm doing like ChatGPT.
I'm really good at creating a bunch of words without any real knowledge behind them.
But the topics that I'm going to talk about are pretty random and I'm going to split them up.
Hi again, in this episode I would go through what kind of Chrome plug-ins I'm using.
And what I think is a good Chrome plug-in, I'm what I think is not so good or something that
you just should stay away from.
And I have a bunch of plug-ins and some of them are essential for my work.
First off you need some kind of password, what vault solution.
I will not recommend anyone of them.
I just would say that you don't use last pass.
I used it before and I have migrated it from it and it took a lot of work to move all those passwords
over.
But now I have them in another password wall solution and having that as Chrome plug-in I think
is a very good solution.
And as I used to, YouTuber I also used the TubeBuddy plug-in, it's pretty good to do some of
these kind of bucket or big changes if you want to go through a bunch of videos and change descriptions
and so on.
It has a lot of those kinds of tools in it.
So it's not for everyone but I think it's really useful.
Next up I have this kind of Grammally plug-in and I am a little bit dyslectic.
I'm not a native English speaker.
Having some Grammysheck and some help when I'm writing is also essential for my work.
Next up I have something that is called Colour Silla and it is a tool that makes it possible
for me to just choose any point on any web page and get the color value of that point.
And when you are writing and creating web pages it's really nice to look around and work
with different things and we are really quickly could get a specific color either from an image
or from somewhere on the page in order to reuse that color in some other element.
So it's a really good tool if you are doing web development.
And before I also had this kind of thing for taking snapshot that was really good.
But now that I run a bunch of that tool is actually built into a bunch of.
I don't think that Windows has a simple good snapshot solution yet.
They are working on it, it's getting better but the old one was worthless because you had to pretty much
take a snapshot, put it into a document, save that document and crop and fix and so on.
And in Ubuntu everything is built in which is really nice.
And what do I have more? I also before had these kind of solutions to run things in browser stacks.
So browser stack is this solution where you can go to a web page, use their plugin in order to
log into their web page and then test your solution or your web page in a bunch of different
web browsers. So you can test it on iOS browsers, you can test it on Android browsers,
Mac, Windows and Linux with different kind of browsers. You have some browsers that are
native to the Eastern Europe and you also have some that are native to the USA.
It's really nice that you have a lot of different choices there so you can see that your
your solutions works in all the different supported browsers. So those are the most common plugins
that I installed in my workflow. What kind of a browser plugins do you use? I know that there are
not that many but I think they are extremely essential for my workflow.
