In this article, I have curated the list of best Chrome Extensions in 2022. Over 6800 words long!
Chrome Extensions are an integral part of the Google Chrome browser. These software and tools can enhance your browser to the next level by ignoring the need for extra software that you would have to use if web extensions did not exist.
In other words, you do not have to minimize Chrome and open other apps or software if you use chrome extensions. For example, you might sometimes have to capture a part of the whole desktop screen/tab. You can just hit the screenshot extension that you have installed on your browser to take a screenshot, rather than launching any third-party software for the same task.
Therefore, I have listed the best chrome extensions you should try this year. I have tried my best to describe each one as much in the limited wording. Also, the extensions are categorized into different sections; so use the table of contents below to jump to a particular heading. I also recommend bookmarking this article if you do not have a moment to go through whole article at this point.

28. ProWritingAid Grammar Checker
ProWritingAid is an alternative extension to Grammarly. The reason why I mentioned it here is due to its high rating. I guess fiction or nonfiction writers might enjoy using this extension. I do not want to compare it to Grammarly in general, but Grammarly fails to deliver story writers. Since I am a technical writer, I prefer Grammarly over ProWritingAid.
29. LanguageTool
LanguageTool is an alternative to both Grammarly and ProWritingAid. It checks and corrects most of the writing mistakes such as grammar and spelling. It supports more than 25 languages. If you use Google Docs, there is an addon to LanguageTool as well. But the extension works fine. Nonetheless, I found the premium version more helpful than the free version.
