20 Chrome Extensions to Boost Your Laziness!
Being lazy means trying to save time by producing as quickly and with as little effort as possible. The following Chrome extensions will save you time and make your life a lot easier! However, it’s important to remember that the more extensions you use, the more resources your computer will use, potentially causing slowdowns (especially on low-performance computers).
I’ve purposely chosen not to go into too much detail about each expansion so that I can introduce as many of them as possible and pique your interest. Therefore, I recommend you to learn more on your own and according to your own needs.

1) Linkclump*
Despite the essential needs that have manifested themselves since ancient times and through humanity, I have never, ever, found an extension so simple and effective. But what does he do? Well, it’s very simple! Allows group opening of connections.
You can open all links, even image links, content in the selected frame, all with one click by pressing the button (for my part “CTRL”) and selecting with the mouse!

2) Stopwatch*
Complete, simple and effective, Chrono lets you manage all your downloads: pause, resume, cancel, restart, sort, filter, delete.
But that’s not all… the extension also offers a web page element manager. Called Chrono Sniffer, this option lists all elements on a page, whether images, videos, or documents, allowing you to read their descriptions and download them (very useful for web businesses!).

7) OneTab* / Tabli* or Session Buddy / GraphiTabs*
What is Chrome really missing? Tab management… Coming soon here are 3 types of extensions:
OneTab : backs up all your icons on one page, you can easily group, name, restore and delete them.
Tip: Very useful for quickly saving your recent bookmarks and keeping up with your activity

Table or Session Friendly : a tab manager that does everything OneTab does, but in more detail. Session Buddy likes Tablin nicer but with more steps.
Opinion: Better than OneTab, but slower to use

GraphiTabs : Like Tabli, but in graphical version.
Opinion: Nicer than Tabli, but slower to use

Bottom line: if you want post-its, get One Tab, if you prefer a workbook, Tabli or Session Buddy, if you prefer police investigation tables in movies, get GraphiTabs, and if you hesitate, be stupid like me and get all three.
8) The Great Hangman *
The best of the best in resource saving, icon management and battery! Large Hanger suspends your inactive tabs after a certain amount of time or upon user request, ideal when you like multiple tabs and windows.

These extensions allow you to capture screenshots and edit them more easily. FireShot lets you capture the entire page, just the visible part, or a selected area, then save them anywhere (as an image or pdf) or send them to you via email.
