3- Hiver<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

6- ColorPick Eyedropper<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

8- Lorem Ipsum generator<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Lorem Ipsum generator plugin allows developers to create default texts easily. So, if you need default texts as placeholders, installing this plugin on your browser will be very useful.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

9- actiTIME<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Using the actiTIME Timer plugin, programmers can track working hours directly in browsers or web applications such as Jira. Companies and freelancers use this tool to analyze performance and monitor project progress.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

10- Ghostery<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

11- Wappalyzer<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Wappalyzer plugin, like the Ghostery tool, helps programmers identify frameworks and programming languages \u200b\u200bused on web pages. This technology plugin introduces content management systems, eCommerce platforms, web servers, JavaScript frameworks, and analytics tools installed on web pages to developers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

12- IE Tab<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Using the IE Tab plugin, you will perform IE tests manually without installing different versions of Internet Explorer. This plugin simulates the Internet Explorer rendering engine directly in the Chrome browser. In other words, you can view your website in different versions of IE6, IE7, IE8, and IE9. The only drawback of this software is that it is currently only supported on the Windows operating system.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

13- Site Spider<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

15- Clear Cache<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Clear Cache plugin allows developers to clear the cache from the toolbar. This plugin has no pop-ups, so it will not distract you in any way. Additionally, you can manually set how this plugin works. For example, specify how much application cache, download, filesystem, forms, history, and local storage there is. This plugin will clear the password.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

16- JSONView<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Reading raw JSON data in the browser will be very vague for programmers working with the RESTful API. In other words, reading JSON data in a batch is much easier than in primary mode, so this plugin will help you view JSON documentation in your browser.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
