Glad to see Cloud To Butt isn't forgotten. πŸ˜‚

Just watch out for Hola VPN, it's β€œfree” because they route their commercial traffic through your network. The extension used to have many security vulnerabilities and exposed you to tracking – many points on Adios Hola still apply.

I wouldn't recommend anyone to use a password manager that's managed by a company selling it as a service. The point of a password is that only you should have it and no one else. I've been using KeyPass XC for almost an year now, it's open source and should definitely get more recognition on the internet.

Oh wow! These are amazing!

I would recomment this one too I just found out from @bolajiAyode - InspireNuggets, that displays whenever you open a new tab and just gives you a new dose of tech inspiration and refreshes every 5seconds!

chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/...

Pretty cool stuff!

What a great selection! These extensions will really boost productivity.

I would be glad if my extension manganum.app were also included in this selection. I promise that our tasks, notes, calendar, and video backgrounds will change your browser experience :)
