Hello guys, in this blog I have listed down 7 Powerful Chrome Extensions for Students that I find very helpful.
So first of all let's explain to you a little what extensions are and how they work , so extensions are basically built onweb technologies such as HTML, JavaScript, and CSS . They run in a separate, sandboxed execution environment and interact with the Chrome browser. Extensions let you "extend" the browser by using APIs to modify browser behavior and access web content.
Today, we can find thousands of extensions on the chrome web store which are definitely categorized for ease of searching. The main categories that are available are Runs Offline, By Google, Free, Available for Android, and also themed extensions.
Now that we know what Extensions are, let’s have a look at the 7 extensions listed below.

Many times it happens that we are fully determined to study, but when we start to watch a youtube tutorial then in the middle of the tutorial there is some sponsored part which is very annoying and disturbs our entire focus of study. This extension is a solution for all students facing this problem. What this extension does is that it lets you skip over sponsors, intros, outros, subscription reminders, and other annoying parts of YouTube videos. It is a crowdsourced browser extension that lets anyone submit the start and end times of sponsored segments and other segments of YouTube videos. Once a person submits this information, everyone else with this extension will skip right over the sponsored segment.

Coming to our second extension, this extension might be also very useful for students as it happens often with students that they open a website for getting a solution or maybe reading an article but it asks for a subscription, so the solution to this problem is right over here. Unpaywall gets the full text of scholarly articles as you browse. When you view a research article, it automatically looks for a copy in its index of 20 million free, legal full-text PDFs. If they find one, then all we need to do is click the green tab to read the article and that’s it. Hence this extension might be useful for you too.

StayFocusd increases your productivity by limiting the amount of time that you can spend on time-wasting websites. You sit down at the computer, and you swear you’ll be productive. Next thing you know, it’s twelve hours later. You’ve checked your email, updated your Facebook status, blown through 200 posts or reels on Instagram, looked up your favorite band on Wikipedia, cyber-stalked your ex, and lost a week’s pay playing online poker. What you haven’t done is WORK.
StayFocusd is a productivity extension for Google Chrome that helps you stay focused on work by restricting the amount of time you can spend on time-wasting websites. Once your allotted time has been used up, the sites you have blocked will be inaccessible for the rest of the day.
It’s highly configurable, allowing you to block or allow entire sites, specific subdomains, specific paths, specific pages, even specific in-page content (videos, games, images, forms, etc). This is a very useful extension for students who get distracted easily.

This is a very helpful extension as many times there is an issue of recording our screen with our video attached so for this we need to install an entire application on our system, but not anymore, as this extension allows you to record your screens and also your video if you wish to include it.
Loom allows you to record just your current tab or your entire screen, and choose whether you’d like to include a thumbnail video of your face on the webcam. Plus, you can share the videos instantly, and even choose whether the video needs a password to be seen.
The best part is that there’s no limit to how much you can record — and it’s 100% free!
