How To Setup Chrome For Productivity
The ideal Chrome Setup: clean interface free of distractions, a great bookmark manager, and some essential plugins.
#1 Remove all your bookmarks and use Raindrop.io
It’s going to be game-changing for you.
With Raindrop, you can manage your bookmarks like a pro and create all the categories you want, add labels to your bookmarks, and change their descriptions.
They also provide tools like a search engine to find your bookmarks.
#2 Pin Tabs
If you‘re like me, there are some websites you use every day, just pin them.
This will free up some space.
Right-click on your tab > pin tab.
#3 Install Plugins
Forest: provides a solution to save you from Internet addiction. You can plant a seed in Forest. In the next 30 minutes, this seed will gradually grow into a tree.
However, if you cannot resist the temptation and start to browse the websites on your Blacklist, your tree will wither away.
Pinterest Save Button: save any idea you find around the web so you can easily get back to it later.
Mercury Reader: removes ads and distractions, leaving only text and images for a clean and consistent reading view on every site.
Toby: helps you organize your browser tabs into one so you can access key resources in one click.
I use Toby mini because I want to keep Raindrop in the “new tab”, but I use Toby for temporary tabs (for example, when I’m doing research about a subject and I want to keep everything in one place).
