I only use a few:

- ZenHub (https://zenhub.io) – personal productivity and team collaboration / PM tool built into GitHub. Disclosure: my company is the major investor in ZenHub;

- Pocket (https://getpocket.com) - bookmarking tool;

- Bugherd (https://bugherd.com) - because I was helping point out issues on a friend's website yesterday;

- Terrorists to Coward (https://www.producthunt.com/tech/terrorists-to-cowards) - quick hackathon project two of my team members did;

- Google Docs/Sheets/Slides and Docs offline;

- Wandertab (http://www.hitlistapp.com/wandertab/) - shows you a flight deal every time you open a new tab!

I currently use:

- Ghostery (https://www.ghostery.com/) - analysing cookies and installed trackers on a site

- Usersnap (https://usersnap.com) - for tracking bugs and collecting feedback for our website projects

- Pocket (https://getpocket.com) - bookmarking

- Zenmate (https://zenmate.com/) - for not worrying about country blocked content

- Image downloader (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/image-downloader/c...)

I always end up opening a lot of tabs so One Tab (https://www.one-tab.com/) has been my saving grace.

I currently use

- The Great Suspender: reduces memory footprint by purging tabs least used

- Bishop: Vulnerability checker

- Fetch: advanced web history search

- Hacker Vision: inverts some webpage colors to reduce eye strain

- UBlock Origin: efficient Adblocker

Pocket looked great until I looked at the permissions it wants on Android. Wi-Fi details? Contacts? Seriously?
