Since 43% of the World is now using Google Chrome, I guess it’s safe to assume that at least that share of Blogger Babes readers use this web browser too. There must be good reasons why almost half of the world population has made this choice, and if you are not already using the browser, you’ll definitely reconsider your decision after you try the next six awesome Chrome extensions for bloggers.
Cool and practical extensions that allow you to customize your search experience are only part of what’s great about Chrome. It’s fast, simple, and you can sync everything across all your devices. Before you visit a suspicious site of phishing or malware safe browsing features will notify you, and if you want to surf privately there’s an incognito window you can use. Here are few of my favorite Google Chrome extensions that will save you lots of time and make you more productive when blogging:
Ginger’s Spell and Grammar Checker
We all have a spell checker on our computer, but do we have a grammar checker also? Probably not. I know I didn’t, before I installed Ginger. This Chrome extension corrects your contextual grammar mistakes as well as provides accurate spelling suggestions when you tweet, when you share a link and comment on Facebook, write in Gmail, blog in WordPress and other platforms. The proofreader can fix over 30 types of grammar errors, including slang, commonly confused words like then and than, or homonyms like you’re and your. It’s free, and you can download it here.

Bitly – Save and Share Your Links
These days there’s always something to read or see on the Internet, a news article, funny video, interesting blog post, something to later share on your social accounts. You can use bookmarks to organize these links, but the Chrome extension Bit.ly is much more practical. Whenever you find something online you want to save or share, just click the extension and you can keep it right from your web browser.

Evernote Web Clipper
While still on the research-handy add-ons, if you are not using Evernote Web Clipper, you are really missing out. With this extension you can save absolutely everything, – a simple web link, an image or some interesting paragraph from a website, a PDF file, an email (with attachments) – and you can tag your notes and search your directory for all your read-it-later posts, videos, photos, and notes-to-self. Here’s the link to this great Chrome extension for bloggers.

TinEye Reverse Image Search
There are plenty online resources you can use to search for blog images, but not many that work in a reverse principle as TinEye. Once you download the extension to your browser you can easily search for copies of images online, meaning you can find copies with higher resolution or find an image that’s free to use on your own blog. Whenever you see a photo that you like but can’t use because it’s copyright protected click the add-on to find matching images that are available. You can get it here.
