Remember a time when the small blue Internet Explorer logo on your computer taskbar used to be the face of the World Wide Web even though it was just a browser? Yeah, I do too, but clearly we've come a long way since then. Now we have many other browsers to choose from. Roughly, 51.8% of web-users prefer Google Chrome, which leaves IE (21.7%), Firefox (18.5%), Safari (5.0%) far behind. But vanilla Google Chrome is for the noobs; the real potential of the world's most popular browser can be unleashed through some really interesting extensions.

3. MightyText - Send texts using your Android number from your PC

This is for the lazy ones like me. Are you too comfortably tucked in bed with your laptop while your phone is in another room? With MightyText, you can sync your android phone with your computer or tablet so that you can send text messages without even having to hold your phone. The extension also warns you when your phone has low battery.

4. Disconnect - Immunize yourself from the invisible trackers

Using this extension, you can disable different advertising, analytics, social and content related trackers that try to map out your digital persona so as to target you with user-specific ads. Many believe that this is a violation of privacy and not everyone wants to constantly browse in the incognito mode. This is where Disconnect is really handy.
