I literally didn't know that ad blockers were a thing, I'm so glad you made this video! Some Chrome extensions I enjoy are Infinity (similar to Momentum), 25 Timer (Pomodoro), Google Dictionary (you only have o highlight a word instead of searching it) and TH-cam NonStop (yt video after another without pauses in between)
I'd be really interested to see a video on your opinions on being alone. Whether thats being single, or just spending time in solitude. How to do it, how to like it, why it's important.
Finally, someone else who uses Pocket. I've been using it for the last 5 years and I get so much reading done with it. I also use the Listen feature for when I'm driving or can't sit down to read.
I remember watching this video months ago but never downloaded any of these apps due to having an old laptop at the time. Loving the ad block and Grammarly! Thank you!
Great video! I am already using Adblocker, Grammarly and Pocket and can confirm they are really useful. Another productivity tool that I am using is Mailbutler, which helps me manage my inbox without stressing about received or sent emails. Keep up with the good content!
also just wanted to let you know your videos are really inspiring and always put me in the mood to organize the mess aka my life 😅 thank you for everything
Can I just say a huge thank you? I instantly added pocket, because it is literally something I wanted and your dictionary made me search something similar for a language I am currently learning, so I added an extension called Imtranslator.
I just can’t with your magic tricks or whatever that it BUT how do you do this????? Just literally an hour ago I was scrolling through your vids bc I was looking for THIS EXACT thing and I was going to dm you on insta as well!!!! WTH is this trickery?? Btw i love you a lot, you are my only inspiration now days , thank you so much for your hard work 💕💕💕💕💕💕
Honey does something similar that adds discounts. Also would love to hear more about how you approach companies to sponsor your videos! Great video, took a few screengrabs 😀
OMG. Thank you so much for the adblocker. I didn't even know that was a thing (shows you how tech savvy I am) but it's outstanding. BTW, you are breathtakingly beautiful. Stunning.
quick semi-related note to anyone with an adblocker: you might have to turn it off or use a different browser if you're trying to connect to public wifi that has a popup sign-in box (like airports, or hotels). i use uBlock Origin, but i might switch to adBlock bc the interface looks more intuitive. this problem hasn't happened to me in a while, but it's something to keep in mind if your computer says you're connected to public wifi but you can't load the website you want
I always enjoy watching your videos. I’m in the Information System (IT) field, and this particular video got me all giddy. As always, your funny, and look like goods people. Stay awesome :-)
yayy so glad I finally got around to binging all of the videos I've missed from you hehehe wow i never knew I needed the great suspender until now LOLLL I literally have 30+ tabs open so this is going to be a lifesaver!!
Any good chrome extensions to track the time you spend on internet, and on the different website ? (something like the app space, but for your computer )
Thanks for sharing, these are great! I'm constantly taking screenshots online, so I use "Full Page Screen Capture" to easily capture full web pages. Cheers!
That's interesting!! I don't really use any plug-ins because I generally don't use Chrome for anything more than reading stuff. I should probably download pocket it'll help me a lot thank you! ❤️
What a helpful video. Not sure if I can use Ebates in the UK but will take a look. I've heard of grammarly but not tried it yet, so will be downloading that. I love ad block, especially on social media sites like Facebook! I tend to watch TH-cam on my phone or tablet so that it doesn't affect ad revenue for creators I love 🤓
As far as browser plug-ins go I love Grammarly and Honey. Grammarly, of course, most people know it to be a program that corrects grammar. I think the plug-in has limited functions whereas the full paid version has unlimited. Honey, if I remember correctly, is a plug-in that finds promo codes or coupons on different sites that you shop on. However, there would be times Honey would say that there is a coupon code for what I'm buying but when I used it it didn't work so its a 50-50 chance of you saving money.
To any new viewers, the first extension mentioned in the video 'The Great Suspender' has been blocked from Google for containing nefarious code after switching owners so I would recommend uninstalling it and perhaps trying to find a safe replacement ❤️
I'm on a search for a good to do app. So I checked what you use and TeuxDeux looks great, but I don't have an IPhone. Do you know anything good that works for Android? Also I really like StayFocusd extension. It gives reminders and even blocks sites based on how I set it up so for example I can make sure I don't visit TH-cam while studying or I don't stay on the internet too late at night.
While this isn't a productive chrome extension, I love tabs for a cause. Everytime you open up a new tab you get points and you can use those points to donate to different charities.
Hey! I'm new to your channel. I got hooked on after i came by the "How to wake up at 5 am" video. Keep at the good work! :D P.S. What application are you using for your To-do?
HONEY!! Honey is an extension that automatically searches for coupons. I let it run in the background and it will notify you if discounts are found. Mindless and efficient!
I am also tryna learn chinese and i have been already using something like that but it's not creating a fundamental base of that language in my mind. Any suggestions other than taking legit Chinese classes? Bc i have already considered it (as a second choice but won't be able to do so atm as circumstances won't allow me to).
For drama addicts, I do t know about you, but sometimes some videos or drama on certain website is not available in my country so you can use “Hola”. It allows you to browse through, acting like you’re from a foreign countries. Sorry my English is not good. Basically for example you’re from Malaysia, but you can’t watch a Chinese drama, you can use hola to browse from China. Then you’ll get to watch the drama ;)
Grammarly is so great though because say you want to be a blogger but you're not good at grammar or spelling and you don't want your blog to look like a high schooler who hasn't even graduated wrote it.... Grammarly will save your ass!! I can tell you right now you will not make money from a blog using junior high texting or short hand grammar.
My only gripe about Grammarly is that you make sure you get a handle on what ever corrections the program is making for you. It's a tool, not a substitution to your beautiful brain!
Cruz thank you! I'm slowly recognizing my corrections with grammar and punctuation with it. I'm trying to not fully depend on it because then I won't learn anything
Your a great teacher BUTTTTTT LOL Colors in the background with the title MAKES HARD 2 C! And u share screening your activities? Please make the words BIGGER! Couldn't c nothing u was doing and you'll lose retention
Its a little strange that you promote ablocker when you literally have an ad in your video right after. No hate, I just wonder why a youtuber would promote that since thats how you earn your money.
fair question! being able to earn money creating videos here is an added bonus for me. if all of you guys had some sort of ad blocker and I got 0 money, I’d still create what I create. personally believe in brand experience/UX > quick money ($ from disruptive, irrelevant display ads) but since I’m using TH-cam, it’s how the platform currently operates

hi Ariel! this is such a great idea/concept. will work on it 🤓🙏🏻✨
what is the name of the chrome theme? its so pretty

Stumbled across your channel yesterday and I love it!!!
also just wanted to let you know your videos are really inspiring and always put me in the mood to organize the mess aka my life 😅 thank you for everything
I just downloaded VidIq and it's already helping me be better with seo and filling in video descriptions. Thank you so much!
the vidiq one is soo handy! just downloaded it :)
i love you ...literally why i haven't found this video till date....
Can I just say a huge thank you? I instantly added pocket, because it is literally something I wanted and your dictionary made me search something similar for a language I am currently learning, so I added an extension called Imtranslator.
Yay thank you, I'm trying to organize my life this semester and your videos are always helpful ❤✨
I just can’t with your magic tricks or whatever that it BUT how do you do this?????
Just literally an hour ago I was scrolling through your vids bc I was looking for THIS EXACT thing and I was going to dm you on insta as well!!!!
WTH is this trickery??
Btw i love you a lot, you are my only inspiration now days , thank you so much for your hard work 💕💕💕💕💕💕
Honey does something similar that adds discounts. Also would love to hear more about how you approach companies to sponsor your videos! Great video, took a few screengrabs 😀
i've heard some of these before but learned some new ones. I love ebates, getting paid to shop is the best!
that tab app is so helpful!! thank you so much for these recommendations
Super useful Rowena ❣️❣️❣️ Amazing research 💯
Omg! This was so helpful. I didn't know any of these extensions except grammarly. Thanks a lot!
U have THE voice for this 2!!!!!!👌👍
Your VERY ATTRACTIVE
GREAT ON THE EYES
great with explanation and editing what u talking about!!!!
OMG. Thank you so much for the adblocker. I didn't even know that was a thing (shows you how tech savvy I am) but it's outstanding. BTW, you are breathtakingly beautiful. Stunning.
I love to use all these extensions. For anyone in college or print a lot, I recommend Print Friendly extension! 👍

Hej Rowena, thank you for sharing your favourite extensions. I added The great suspender and pocket. Could you do a video on productivity apps please?
I always enjoy watching your videos. I’m in the Information System (IT) field, and this particular video got me all giddy. As always, your funny, and look like goods people. Stay awesome :-)
How did you customize your google calendar?
Great tips, appreciated. I especially like pocket and the dictionary one.
was wondering if you can do an updated video of this? :)
yayy so glad I finally got around to binging all of the videos I've missed from you hehehe
wow i never knew I needed the great suspender until now LOLLL I literally have 30+ tabs open so this is going to be a lifesaver!!
Thank you this is very clear and helpful 😊
aspiring youtuber over here thanking you!
Love you Rowena!!
rowena thank you for u and all of your videos. you have truly inspired me and ever since I have noticed I am becoming a better version of myself.
Any good chrome extensions to track the time you spend on internet, and on the different website ? (something like the app space, but for your computer )
Lysander Henrykson I use rescue time which is free for basic tracking and reporting which I all I need..
Lysander Henrykson ...but it’s not a chrome extension soz
Thanks for sharing, these are great! I'm constantly taking screenshots online, so I use "Full Page Screen Capture" to easily capture full web pages. Cheers!
That's interesting!! I don't really use any plug-ins because I generally don't use Chrome for anything more than reading stuff. I should probably download pocket it'll help me a lot thank you! ❤️
💕 Love your videos!
love you :>
Another really good one is ecosia, which helps you plant trees for certain amount of searches(around 45 to plant a tree) ! I highly recommend it
I love ebates, I also use MyUniDays since I am a student, they let you stack coupons too!
What a helpful video. Not sure if I can use Ebates in the UK but will take a look. I've heard of grammarly but not tried it yet, so will be downloading that.

Hope you can make a vid on how to work productively in a negative / stressful environment 😇
yaaaay WHERE IS MY EARLY SQUAD? 🙌
pinterest and evernote are my faves!
I really wanted to know what to do list website you used ;--; Please tell someone
Rowena what do you use for your to-do list?
In another video she says she uses teuxdeux and gcal.

How is your google calendar so asthetic?
Any apps or extensions that will determine how much time someone is spending on Social Media sites.
LastPass FTW!

Try to use TH-cam Subscription(Collection) Manager
. The best for organizing youtube.
Hey Rowena! I'd really like to know more about how you thrift and flip big brands online
I am also tryna learn chinese and i have been already using something like that but it's not creating a fundamental base of that language in my mind.

Hi from Taiwan🤗
Grammarly is so great though because say you want to be a blogger but you're not good at grammar or spelling and you don't want your blog to look like a high schooler who hasn't even graduated wrote it.... Grammarly will save your ass!! I can tell you right now you will not make money from a blog using junior high texting or short hand grammar.
I always struggled with grammar and as someone who barely passed English, I needed this plug in
My only gripe about Grammarly is that you make sure you get a handle on what ever corrections the program is making for you. It's a tool, not a substitution to your beautiful brain!
Cruz thank you! I'm slowly recognizing my corrections with grammar and punctuation with it. I'm trying to not fully depend on it because then I won't learn anything
momentum!!
Legends say if you're first rowena will notice you
hehe I notice everyone ☺️ can't physically respond to every comment but I read everything!
But your videos have ads that are blocked by AdBlock 🤔
The adblock extension is bad for you since it allows select ads through and data mines you. You want ad block origin. Read up on it on reddit.
thanks for being my internet-older-sister
hey, looks like my comments are removed, can't even post extension name
ok, let's say for example Grammarly
and then for example Templify
ok, looks like it works in this comments section, but doesn't in main thread
Productivity: 7 Chrome Extensions That Simplified & Bettered My Life
U rock
No extension is better than tabby cat! Anyone can fight me on this
adblock worked on this video
400 tabs open. Are you for real what about bookmarks as the option? then you would not need the app suspender.
You can't use ebates when you have adblock! lol
Your a great teacher
BUTTTTTT LOL
Colors in the background with the title MAKES HARD 2 C!
And u share screening your activities? Please make the words BIGGER! Couldn't c nothing u was doing and you'll lose retention
Yeah
White words with pink background?
Couldn't c your title
