  1. CSS Peeper CSS Peeper is an all-in-one tool for CSS inspection that allows you to quickly peek at the styles, fonts, color palettes and assets of any website you want.

  2. React Developer Tools React Developer Tools is the de facto extension when working with React, providing all the necessary inspection tools for your React applications.

  3. LastPass LastPass keeps your accounts and API keys secure, by providing a free password manager complete with password generation and password-protected notes.

  4. uBlock Origin uBlock Origin is a simple yet effective ad blocker extension that you can just install and forget about, as it keeps your browsing experience ad-free.

  5. VisBug VisBug allows you to tweak website designs on the fly, using very intuitive controls and tools, without having to delve into any code at all.

  6. JSON Viewer JSON Viewer provides some much needed syntax highlighting and style customization to JSON responses, which are nowadays very commonplace in most web APIs.
