Google's Chrome Web Store is full of cool add-ons for your browser.
But as Chrome has become more popular, the Chrome Web Store has become like Apple's App Store: bloated and hard to navigate.
We've rounded up the best ones that will help keep you focused and productive at work and in your personal life.
AdBlockAdBlock may be the most popular Google Chrome extension out there. It gets rid of annoying ads on websites you visit. It can really help if a site is loading slowly or is full of particularly intrusive ads.
AdBlock also works with Safari, Opera, and Firefox if you don't have Chrome.
Chrome Remote Desktop
Chrome Remote Desktop lets you access other computers from your own and vice versa.
Left a file at work? Connect up via Remote Desktop and grab it. It's also an easy way to share your screen with someone else if there's a problem.
Website Blocker
Website Blocker is great if you're the type of person who gets easily distracted by Facebook or Twitter.
As the name suggests, this extension allows you to block access to certain websites for a given period of time (from (9 a.m. to 5 p.m, for example). It also works in Incognito Mode, so you can block out distractions even if you're trying to hide your browsing activity from spying eyes.
Grammarly
Have you ever sent off an email right before realizing there was a typo in it? That's what Grammarly is for.
The extension looks for misspellings and improves the quality of your writing.
It's not just for Gmail, though. Grammarly works on social media too.
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's too long for you to look into — but you're still interested — hit the Pocket extension and it will end up in your Pocket queue.
