As the handle of the browser, Chrome is praised for its minimalist pages, smooth speed, and simple operation.
But the reason I like it is that it has many plug-ins, no need to download software to occupy memory, and can be used directly in the browser, not too convenient.
Today, I will recommend a few Chrome plugins commonly used by designers.
1）Full Page Screen Capture
Role: collect design reference materials

Long screenshot tool, capture the entire page at once. This is very useful at work. It can be used as a page comparison before and after design, or to record useful information you see.
Similar plugins include: Fireshot
2）Window Resizer
Role: Check responsive design across screens

Window Resizer allows you to quickly switch the size in the browser to see what the design looks like on different devices, and to understand how the design is compatible with the devices.
3.WhatFont
Role: View the font name in the website

As a designer, in my daily work and life, when I browse through good-looking fonts, I always think about collecting, but I am very anxious if I don't know the name. This plugin tells you what is the font name you are browsing.
4.SnappySnippet
Download link: https://github.com/kdzwinel/SnappySnippet
Role: Copy HTML + CSS
This one only applies to web designers, it allows you to quickly copy the HTML + CSS of a website.
5）Product Hunt Trending Tab
Download link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/product-hunt-trending-tab/kfdccmmkggolbggggimdgbfgfgalgkjo?hl=en
Function: keep abreast of the latest situation of new product releases
This plug-in will summarize the top product designs that appear on the market, but the overall number is not large. I think this is better. You can use the fragmented time to understand it.
