Google Chrome Extensions

Chrome allows the ability to customize your experience with your browser by providing a number of extensions via the “chome web store” (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions?hl=en) which can be used in a variety of ways. At the LibTech 2019 Conference (https://libtechconf.org/), Olivia Moris of Metronet demonstrated several of the ones she uses daily. These are all free and readily available. Pick one and try it out for yourself!
