Web Developers: The Most Important Chrome Extensions

Netizens are becoming hyper-aware of the online services and products they use on a daily basis and are constantly adapting to new experiences. They anticipate nothing less than exceptional quality and user experience across every aspect of their interaction with a company's online presence. Web developers are kept busy due to the continuously growing demand as well as their ongoing efforts to achieve a better product-market fit. When it comes to providing the client or end users with the best possible user experience and performance.

Full Page Capture from the Screen

As web developers, it is a requirement that we continually take a screenshot of our work and submit it to the team leads and managers for approval. Taking screenshots will be much less of a hassle with this extension installed. This extension does not require any additional permissions in order to provide you with an accurate screenshot of the page you are currently viewing.

WhatFont

In most cases, we will need to check the source code or the console window in order to determine the font that was used to render a particular section of text on a web page. This is made much simpler with the addition of the WhatFont extension, which shows the details of the font when the mouse pointer is hovered over the content being viewed.

Grammarly

Grammar Checker and Writing App Because I don't speak or write English natively, I rely heavily on tools to make sure that what I write isn't complete gibberish. Grammarly is far and away the most effective grammar checker extension currently available.

Implement both JavaScript and CSS

Through the use of URL rules, this extension makes it possible for you to inject plain JavaScript and CSS code or even libraries from a CDN into web pages. It can be put to use in the development process by testing newly written code, incorporating newly developed features into previously written code, modifying the Document Object Model (DOM), or altering the stylesheet. Additionally, it offers a backup (import/export functionality) for all of the websites that are added.

YSlow

If you are working on improving the performance of your website, I suggest using YSlow. This extension examines web pages and provides recommendations for how their performance can be improved based on a set of guidelines developed by Steve Souders for high-performance web pages.

Formfiller

With the help of this extension, you will be able to populate all form inputs, such as textboxes, textareas, radio buttons, and dropdown menus, with random or dummy data. You will only be required to press one button, and from there on out, everything will be taken care of for you automatically.

Cross-Browser Testing Extension Provided by LambdaTest

One click is all that is required for web developers to use the LambdaTest Screenshot Chrome browser extension to capture full-page screenshots of website pages in a variety of mobile and desktop browsers. LambdaTest Screenshots can be used to help speed up the process of testing websites and pages for compatibility across multiple browsers.

Blackbox

Simply selecting the text you want to copy, copying it, pasting it, and then looking it up using Blackbox is the most effective way to copy text from videos and images. Just like you would on GitHub or Stack Overflow, copy the code from any coding video or live video call and paste it into a text editor.

Modifications Made to Both JavaScript and CSS Code

Your JS and CSS files will have the best possible readability after being formatted by JavaScript and CSS Code Beautifier. This JavaScript and CSS beautifier tool allows you to select the amount of space between lines of code as well as the format of the braces that are generated. Enhances the appearance of your JavaScript and CSS by using either the tab character, two spaces, three spaces, or four spaces.

WhatRuns

WhatRuns is a powerful extension that allows you to identify all of the tools and technologies used by a webpage, including frameworks, web technologies, content management systems (CMS), themes, and fonts. It does this by crawling the page and analyzing its code.

Window Resizer

Window Resizer is an excellent extension that can be used when working with responsive designs. It can help you emulate your screen size to a variety of popular screen sizes, such as mobile, tablet, and desktop. It even provides the option of applying the new dimensions to the whole window or just to the viewport by itself.

CSS Viewer

The Chrome extension that I use the most frequently and consider to be my personal favorite is called CSS Viewer. This extension gives you the ability to view the CSS properties of any element on any webpage. A new window will open displaying the CSS data that constitutes that element.
