Chrome Extension For Online Shopping

We’ve been working on a new product for online shoppers, and we’re excited to announce its upcoming release!

Just in time for the holiday season, we’ll be launching a browser extension that makes shopping online easier than ever. It’s going to change the way you look at shopping.

Chrome Extension For Online Shopping

Americans are shopping online more than ever before. According to the United States Census Bureau, online retailers in the U.S. took in about $759 billion in 2020. That’s more than 13% of all retail sales in the country.

As we spend more online, we’ve become more interested in finding ways to save online. We use sites to compare prices across multiple sites and search for coupon codes that provide deals like discounts or free shipping. Tricks like that can save you money, but they take extra time — sometimes more than it’s worth to save a dollar or two.

Fortunately, there’s an easier way to save when you shop online. All you have to do is install a browser extension, a plug-in that extends the capabilities of a Web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. But to leverage the online savings, you need to choose the best browser extension for your shopping needs.

Best Browser Extensions to Save Money While Shopping Online
Several money-saving browser extensions can do the work of online bargain-hunting for you. Some compare prices, some find and apply coupon codes, and some help you cash in on cash-back deals. And the best of the bunch can do all three.

1. Capital One Shopping
   The Capital One Shopping add-on is an online shopping assistant that uses real-time data from its millions of users to find you better deals. As more people use Capital One Shopping, it gets better at finding low prices and coupon codes that work.

Capital One Shopping combines several of the features of other browser add-ons in one. These include:

Price Checking. When you search for a product online or scan a bar code in a store, Capital One Shopping searches for better prices elsewhere. It displays all the prices it finds from Amazon sellers and other top retailers on a single page.
Coupon Checking. When you add something to your online shopping cart, Capital One Shopping goes into coupon-checking mode. It checks multiple coupon codes to see which ones have worked for other Capital One Shopping users and automatically applies the one that gives you the bigger discount.
Price Tracking. If you decide not to make a purchase, Capital One Shopping continues to track prices for the product. If it goes on sale, the app notifies you so you can jump on the bargain.
Shopping Rewards. Capital One Shopping also functions as a rewards app. When you shop through the extension, you earn rewards credits at its partner stores, including eBay and Walmart. You can cash in your credits for gift cards at these same stores at Capital One Shopping’s website.
Capital One Shopping is available for Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari. There’s also a Capital One Shopping mobile app for iOS and Android.

2. Honey
   Of all the money-saving extensions you can add to your browser, none get more rave reviews than Honey by PayPal. This free add-on saves you money in various ways:

Coupon Codes. Honey automatically seeks out promo codes for over 30,000 online retailers, including Amazon, Macy’s, Target, and even eateries such as Pizza Hut. The extension compares all the available codes for the site you’re shopping and automatically applies the one that gives you the biggest discount.
Amazon Price Comparison. When you shop on Amazon, Honey tells you which of the site’s many sellers offers the best final price on a product, including sales tax and shipping. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, Honey factors that in when calculating shipping costs.
Price History. Honey also tracks price changes on Amazon. It can show you how a product’s price has changed over the last 30, 60, 90, or 120 days. If you don’t like the current price, you can add the product to your Droplist and have Honey notify you when the price drops.
Cash Back. Shopping with Honey earns you cash back, or Honey Gold, at over 4,500 participating sites, including Macy’s, Groupon, and Walmart. Just click a browser button to activate your rewards, and Honey applies them while searching for coupons at checkout. You can cash in Honey Gold for gift cards from participating stores.
Referral Bonuses. You can also earn bonuses for referring your friends to Honey. You send them a link, and when they sign up and make their first purchase, you earn 500 Honey Gold — the equivalent of $5.
Honey works with Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, and Safari browsers.

Honey also offers a rewards app for iOS versions 13 and up called the Honey Smart Shopping Assistant. Like the browser add-on, it can automatically find and apply coupon codes and deals, but it has an extra perk: You can access all your favorite stores at once through the app. That allows you to find the best deal and cash in without having to visit multiple sites.

3. Mulberry
   Should you buy an extended warranty or product protection plan on the laptop, mattress, or major kitchen appliance you’re planning to buy online soon? You’d probably answer “yes” were it not for the added cost of the warranty and the distinct possibility you’ll never need to invoke it.

Mulberry takes care of the cost question, at least. It’s a free browser extension that makes it easy to pick up free product protection plans on items purchased through 5,000+ online retailers including Amazon, Wayfair, Best Buy, and more. No more wondering whether a paid product protection plan is worth paying for when you’re not sure you’ll ever use it — because you don’t have to pay for it.

Mulberry’s free plan provides 12 months of free protection with no confusing contracts or hidden fees. Mulberry’s paid plans provide protection for longer time spans. That’s great for durable items that you hope to keep around for a while. And no matter which plan you choose, the claims process is a breeze thanks to automated approvals and 24/7 support.

Add Mulberry Extension

4. Rakuten Cash Back Button
   The rewards site Rakuten (formerly known as Ebates) offers a browser extension called the Cash Back Button. It gives you access to both cash back and coupon codes at over 2,500 stores.

The extension displays a pop-up message to tell you when there’s cash back available at a store you’re shopping. If there is, you can just click to activate it. Rakuten can even show you which sites have cash-back offers directly in your search results on Google, Yahoo, or Bing. You can compare cash-back offers across multiple stores and choose the best deal.

The money you earn goes into your Rakuten account, and you can cash it in once per quarter for a check or PayPal credit. You can also choose to use the Cash Back for Change feature to donate some of your credit to charity. Rakuten rounds your check or credit down to the nearest dollar and divides the change among three worthy charities.

The Cash Back Button also seeks out coupon codes when you shop. Just click “Apply Coupon” at checkout, and the extension automatically applies the coupon or promo code that gives you the best discount. It can even let you know when there’s a Groupon offer available at a local business you search for on Yelp or Google Maps.

The Rakuten Cash Back Button is free to install. It’s available for Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge.

Read our Rakuten review for more information.

Add Rakuten Extension

5. CouponCabin Sidekick
   CouponCabin Sidekick is a free browser extension from the rewards site CouponCabin. It has two primary features: coupon codes and cash-back offers.

To get cash back from CouponCabin Sidekick, you must log in to your CouponCabin account before shopping (you can’t receive cash back if you added a product to your cart before logging in). Click through from your account to one of CouponCabin’s 3,500 partner stores to see how much cash back you can earn there.

There are a few limitations when shopping with Sidekick. You can’t earn cash back on orders through a store’s mobile app or those placed online and picked up in-store. You can’t use the extension with a firewall or ad-blocking software. And you can’t combine cash-back offers from Sidekick with any coupon that’s not from CouponCabin, even one from the store itself.

On the plus side, CouponCabin Sidekick lists the available offers both when you shop and when you search on Google. For instance, let’s say you’re searching for a DVD set. Right in your search results above the name of each store that offers the DVD set, the extension displays a little cabin icon showing what discounts and cash-back offers are available at that particular store.

CouponCabin Sidekick is available for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.

Add CouponCabin Sidekick Extension

6. Ibotta
   Ibotta, a popular mobile coupon app, is also now available as a Firefox or Chrome extension. To use the Ibotta extension, you must first set up an Ibotta account if you don’t already have one. The Ibotta extension requires you to log in to your account before shopping to earn rewards.

It works with over 1,000 online retailers, including Overstock, Petco, and Bed Bath & Beyond. When you purchase through one of these sites, the app displays a button showing how much cash back you can earn. Click it to activate rewards, then shop and pay as usual.

This browser add-on also works with online grocery delivery services like Instacart. When you shop through these services, the extension highlights cash-back offers with a pink box around the cash-back-eligible product. Click to buy, and the cash shows up in your Ibotta account within 24 hours.

As soon as you have at least $20 in your account, you can log into the Ibotta app on your mobile device to cash in your earnings. You can opt for a bank transfer, PayPal deposit, or gift card.

Reach out Ibotta review for more information.

Add Ibotta Extension

7. Earny
   If you like lotteries and sweepstakes, Earny is for you. This Chrome extension earns you cash back on your online purchases and enters you into a prize drawing with every action you take on the app. The more tickets you earn, the higher your chances of winning prizes such as cash, prepaid Visa cards, and free Amazon gift cards.

Other features of Earny include:

Cash back on up to 5,000 brands
Extra cash back when you share links with friends
Price tracking and price drop alerts for goods on your Amazon wish lists
Up to 90 days of price protection on purchases at more than 15 major retailers
Notifications when an Amazon package arrives late so you can request compensation
Add Earny Extension

8. The Camelizer
   Frequent Amazon shoppers already know about the website CamelCamelCamel, which tracks the prices of millions of Amazon products over time. Since prices on Amazon change daily (sometimes even minute by minute), being able to see a product’s price history helps you figure out whether the current price is a good deal or not.

CamelCamelCamel also offers a free browser extension called The Camelizer for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, and Safari. This add-on lets you see a product’s price history directly from Amazon without having to visit a separate page. And like the website, it can also import your Amazon wish list and alert you when the price of any product on it drops.

Currently, The Camelizer only tracks Amazon prices. But it has covered a couple of other retailers in the past and could do so again in the future.

Add The Camelizer Extension

9. PriceBlink
   The free PriceBlink extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari helps you find the best price for a product. But instead of tracking prices over time on just one site like The Camelizer does, PriceBlink compares prices across thousands of sites and lets you know when there’s a better deal elsewhere.

For instance, let’s say you’re looking at a pair of boots Amazon sells for $100. PriceBlink recognizes the brand and style and instantly searches more than 4,000 other sites to see if any other retailer carries the same boots for less. If it finds one, the lower price pops up on the PriceBlink toolbar, and you can simply click to view the listing.

PriceBlink can also help you find coupon codes. When you visit a retail site, the PriceBlink toolbar shows you a list of the best coupons available on that site. Click on an offer to copy the coupon code to your clipboard. Then, paste it into the appropriate field at checkout.

If you’re not sure what product you want to buy, PriceBlink can help you there too. When looking at a product on a retail site, you can click “Ratings” in the PriceBlink toolbar to see how users rated the product on other sites. That gives you a better overall picture of users’ opinions than the ratings on just one site.

If that sounds like a lot of information to have cluttering up your screen, don’t worry. The PriceBlink toolbar stays hidden most of the time and only pops up when it finds you a deal on a particular product you’re viewing.

Add PriceBlink Extension

10. Fakespot
    Comparing online product reviews through PriceBlink is handy, but there’s one problem: You can’t be sure those reviews are authentic. Sometimes, sellers on Amazon and other sites hire people to post good reviews for their products. You can’t always tell if a product has a 5-star overall rating because it’s a fantastic product or because the company paid lots of people to say it is.

That’s where Fakespot comes in. This free plug-in for Firefox or Chrome (also available as an iOS or Android app) analyzes reviews on Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, TripAdvisor, Sephora, Steam, or Yelp. It looks for suspicious patterns that suggest the reviews are fake. It then gives the product a grade from A to F to indicate how trustworthy the reviews are.

If you want, you can click on this grade to see a more detailed analysis showing which phrases reviewers are using most often and what percentage of the reviews appear to be legit. It also highlights the most important points made in the legitimate reviews.

Fakespot also checks ratings for eBay and third-party sellers on Amazon. If the reviews suggest a seller is unreliable, the extension recommends an alternative seller for the same product.

Fakespot has several options to make it easier to use. For example, it can show Fakespot grades on Amazon product pages and listing pages so you can simply skip over products with a bunch of bogus reviews. It can also sort and filter Google search results based on Fakespot grades. But you can turn these features off if you don’t want to use them.

To use Fakespot, you must either have a Google account or create a Fakespot account. If you choose the latter option, Fakespot tracks your product searches and sends you product updates and offers from its partners.

Add PriceBlink Extension

11. InvisibleHand
    InvisibleHand compares prices when you shop and links to the lowest price on a product you’re viewing. But InvisibleHand works with fewer retailers than PriceBlink: Sears, Lowe’s, Best Buy, and Newegg.

The primary use of InvisibleHand is for finding travel deals. When you search for flights on an airline’s website, InvisibleHand lets you know if there’s a cheaper flight available to the same destination and gives you a link directly to the lowest price. It can also find deals on hotels and rental cars.

Another unique feature of InvisibleHand is that it can find hidden prices on retail sites. Some retailers don’t reveal the price of merchandise until you put it in your shopping cart. Typically, they do that because they’re not allowed to advertise the product for less than a certain minimum price. InvisibleHand gets around that limitation, ferreting out and showing you the real price of the product.

InvisibleHand is available for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.

Add InvisibleHand Extension

12. Piggy
    The Piggy extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari is primarily a coupon finder. It works with thousands of online stores, including major retailers like Macy’s and Walmart, hotel chains like Hilton, car rental services like Hertz, and deal sites like Groupon. When you shop on these sites, Piggy seeks out and tests every coupon code available for that site and applies the one that gives you the most savings.

However, Piggy has a perk other coupon apps don’t have: It can find you special deals at hotels, including rates hotels haven’t officially published online. That makes Piggy an excellent choice for frequent travelers.

Piggy also has a cash-back feature. In addition to looking for coupons when you check out, it lets you earn cash back at more than 6,000 stores. When the earnings in your Piggy account reach $25, it automatically sends you a check.

Add Piggy Extension

Final Word
Each of these browser extensions can save you money on its own. However, there’s no need to limit yourself to just one.

For instance, if you’re shopping on Amazon, you can use Fakespot to see if the reviews are legit. If it looks good, you can consult The Camelizer to see how Amazon’s price for the product looks today and whether you should wait for a better deal. And finally, you can check PriceBlink to see if there’s a better price available on another site.

Even when two different add-ons have similar benefits — for instance, finding coupon codes and cash-back offers — it can’t hurt to have both installed. The list of retail sites that work with Honey isn’t necessarily identical to the list for Rakuten or CouponCabin Sidekick, so installing all three increases your chances of finding a deal.

You can’t earn cash back from more than one extension for the same purchase. However, you can sometimes use a coupon code from one and earn cash back from another. By having an assortment of browser add-ons to choose from, you can ensure you always get the best possible combination of deals.

best chrome extensions for ecommerce

Are you currently using Chrome or a browser that supports the Chrome Web Store and are you running an ecommerce store? Then this article will be awesome for you! In this article, you will find the 28 best Chrome extensions for ecommerce store owners just like you.

What are Chrome Extensions? And should you use them all?
Alright, before we dive into the list with the best Chrome extensions for ecommerce store owners, it’s important to know what a Chrome extension is and if you should install them all the same time.

If you already know this, then you can of course scroll down to the first extension on the list.

So, a Chrome extension, according to Google themself, is a small software program that customizes the browsing experience. They enable users to tailor Chrome functionality and behavior to individual needs or preferences.

You can find these Chrome extensions in the Chrome Web Store, which you can find here.

Chrome web store screenshot
You can find thousands of extensions here, which brings me to my next point; should you install them all at once?

Yes, you can, but it does have two side effects if you install a lot of Chrome extensions at the same time:

You could lose focus due to all these Chrome extensions being active at the same time.
Chrome will be more resourceful, and it might be hard to browse on it if you don’t have a good computer or laptop.
But there are a few things that you can do here to minimize these side effects:

You don’t need to install them all. Only install the extensions that you think will help you further. Don’t just install everything like you’re collecting Pokemon cards…
You can disable (or remove) extensions that you don’t need anymore. Just go to your settings, and then you will see an extensions tab there. Or simply click on ‘More tools’ where you then can disable the Chrome extension(s) that you don’t want anymore:
This shows where to find the extensions tab in Chrome
Disabling an Chrome extension as an example
And the last, but most powerful tip if you still want a lot of extensions and your computer or laptop can’t handle it; you can create multiple Chrome profiles! For example, you can create a profile for when you want to do search engine optimization, one for if you want to do product research, and so on.

Simply click on your Google account in the right corner and press on ‘Add’. This brings you to the screen where you can create a new user:
Adding a new person to your Chrome browser
You don’t need to create a desktop shortcut. You can easily switch within Chrome
And here is the end result with only one new Chrome extension installed, Google Translate:
Almost no extensions in the new account on Chrome
Alright, now you know what a Chrome extension is and you know if you should use them all at the same time, it’s time to move on to the first Chrome extensions on this list; the best ones for ecommerce store owners.

Best for Ecommerce Store Owners
Let’s begin with the extensions that could help you a lot when you’re an ecommerce store owner.

Don’t get me wrong, the other ones will help you as well, but these are the ones that are perfect for you and where I couldn’t find another category for.

1. Grammarly
   Grammarly is a great Chrome extension that helps you with your English grammar
   The first Chrome extension for ecommerce is called Grammarly. Now, you might have heard of them, or you might not, but I have included it because there is a chance that this extension is new for you.

I have included them in this list because they help you check and improve your English grammar. This is definitely great if English isn’t your first language, but you still want to sell in English. For example, by having your product descriptions and advertisements in English.

Wouldn’t it be great if you had someone who could double-check it just in case you missed something?

Example of how Grammarly works when you installed their Chrome extension
Well, that’s Grammarly! They can check your words everywhere you want, and if they don’t support your application at the moment, then you can simply copy it over to their Grammarly app. That app also has a web version, so you don’t need to install it.

They do currently have a paid version if you’re looking to correct more mistakes, but the free version is awesome already!

If you’re interested in learning more about what Grammarly can do for your ecommerce store, then check out this article here.

Want to install Grammarly now? Click here to do so.

2. Page Analytics
   Chrome extensions for Ecommerce: Page Analytics
   Next up is a Chrome extension from a tool that I’m 95% sure that you use; Google Analytics. (If not, then you can click here) It’s called Page Analytics.

This extension helps you see the pageviews, avg time on page, bounce rate, exit, and clicks for each of your pages separately.

I think it’s awesome, because if you got this extension installed, then you don’t have to go to Google Analytics manually each time to check for one specific page.

Do keep in mind that this extension has been deprecated by Google and will no longer receive updates, but so far it still works great.

Want to install Page Analytics now? Click here to do so.

3. Facebook Pixel Helper
   Chrome extensions for Ecommerce: Facebook Pixel Helper
   The next Chrome extension for ecommerce is the Facebook Pixel Helper.

If you run Facebook Ads for your ecommerce store, then there is a high chance that you already know this extension.

But, just as with Grammarly above, there is a chance that you may never have heard of this one; that’s why I included it.

This extension helps you check if your Facebook pixel is working correctly on all stages of your sales funnel. You can also use it to check other websites to see if they have the Facebook pixel enabled:

An example of the Pixel Helper from Facebook
You don’t need to keep this extension active of course. You can install it, test your website, and remove it again. Or you can disable it so you can easily enable it again when you want to check your website again (or someone else’s).

Want to install the Facebook Pixel Helper now? Click here to do so.

4. Google’s Tag Assistant
   Chrome extensions for Ecommerce: Google’s Tag Assistant
   Next up is another helper extension that you can remove or disable if you don’t need to test anything anymore. This one is Google’s Tag Assistant.

This extension from Google helps you troubleshoot the installation of various Google tags including, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and more. This way, you can easily see if, for example, your Google Analytics is correctly working on your store.

Plus, you can use this one to check other websites as well:

An example of Google’s Tag Assistant
Want to install Google’s Tag Assistant now? Click here to do so.

5. ColorZilla
   Chrome extensions for Ecommerce: ColorZilla
   Let’s continue this list with the extensions that could come in handy when building or improving your store. This one is called ColorZilla.

If you ever wondered what specific color something has, then this extension will help you further.

As you can see on the screenshot above, you can simply click on something on a website, and it will tell you exactly which color it is.

This is great if you found a color you like and want to use it as well, or maybe you have forgotten which color you used exactly. Now you can solve this by using this extension.

Want to install ColorZilla now? Click here to do so.

6. WhatFont
   Chrome extensions for Ecommerce: WhatFont
   The next one flows in well with the previous one. This one is called WhatFont.

Maybe you can guess it already by the name and the fact that I said that it flows in well with the previous one; this extension helps you figure out what font someone is using.

If you ever came across a website and kept wondering what font they were using, then this is the extension for you! You can also use it to double-check your own fonts to see if they are working as expected.

Want to install WhatFont now? Click here to do so.

7. Word Counter Plus
   Chrome extensions for Ecommerce: Word Counter Plus
   The next extension, called Word Counter Plus, will help you if you’re wondering how many words something contains.

For example, if you’re doing SEO for your ecommerce store, and you’re not sure about the meta description. Or maybe you want to check the meta description from your competitor.

You can do that all with this Chrome extension. You can even select an article like this one and see how many words this page includes.

Or if you’re currently focusing on growing your blog for your ecommerce store, then you can use this tool to check how many words the top 10 of the results currently have.

For example, if you see that everyone in the top 10 has more than 5000 words, then I’m not sure if you’re going to beat that with only 500 words.

Want to install Word Counter Plus now? Click here to do so.

8. Awesome Screenshot
   Chrome extensions for Ecommerce: Awesome Screenshot
   The last one for this category is called Awesome Screenshot, and I think you can already guess what this one does…

Exactly, it helps you create awesome screenshots!

An example of how to edit a screenshot with Awesome Screenshot
Source: Free Business Email Address for Ecommerce
Yes, they do have a premium version of their extension with more options. For example, you can then easily add numbers:

Awesome Screenshot has a premium version
This extension will also help you with creating screen recordings if you’re interested in that.

You can also record with Awesome Screenshot
Want to install Awesome Screenshot now? Click here to do so.

Best for Search Engine Optimization
Alright, now that we covered those extensions, let’s move on to the ones that are super helpful when you’re doing search engine optimization or anything that is related to that, like keyword research.

9. Mozbar
   Chrome extensions for SEO: Mozbar
   Let’s kick this off with one of the most popular Chrome extensions for search engine optimization, the Mozbar.

This awesome extension from Moz helps you to easily see the domain and page authority of each website in the search results.

You can even use it to the domain and page authority of a specific website, like your competitor.

A few more things that you can do with it is to check your (or someone else’s) on-page SEO. Plus, you can easily see all the links on a website to see if they are follow or nofollow links.

Want to install the Mozbar now? Click here to do so.

10. Keywords Everywhere
    Chrome extensions for SEO: Keywords Everywhere
    Next up is an awesome tool that helps you to do keyword research for your ecommerce store. It’s called Keywords Everywhere.

At first, this was a free Chrome extension that let you see the search volume in Google, but they changed it to a paid tool. However, it isn’t that expensive.

For example, currently, it’s $10 for 100,000 credits. One credit equals search volume for one keyword. Although not every search spends only one credit. You can check out their pricing here to learn more.

The great thing about this extension is that you will still see the big list of ‘Related keywords’ and ‘People also search for’ keywords on the right. Even if you’re not paying for the tool. For example:

Example of the Keywords Everywhere extension in action. I typed in ‘ecommerce store’.
The only thing that they don’t show then is the search volume, but it’s still a great way to get inspiration on what people are searching for currently in your niche.

Plus, it can lead you into an awesome rabbit hole if you keep clicking on these side keywords from Keywords Everywhere. You will usually end up with search terms that you might otherwise not have come up with on your own.

Want to install Keywords Everywhere now? Click here to do so.

11. Detailed SEO Extension
    The Chrome Extension from Detailed
    Next up is the SEO extension from Detailed. This extension helps you with tons of stuff. For example, it can check schema on a page, and it can check a lot of things regarding on-page SEO:

Example of how the Detailed SEO extension looks like
For me personally, this on-page SEO checker looks way better than the on-page SEO checker from the Mozbar at the beginning.

Want to install the Detailed SEO Extension now? Click here to do so.

12. SEO Minion
    Chrome extensions for SEO: SEO Minion
    And the last Chrome extension for SEO purposes is called SEO minion. It does almost the same as the one from Detailed, but I still included it in case you like this design better.

You can also check for broken links with this extension.

Want to install SEO Minion now? Click here to do so.

Best for Competition & Product Research
Next up are the Chrome extensions that are best for when you’re doing research. For example, competition or product research.

Keep in mind that you can also use a few extensions from the SEO category above for the competition research.

For example, you can use the Mozbar to easily see how much domain and page authority your competition has.

13. Commerce Inspector
    Chrome extensions for Research: Commerce Inspector
    Let’s start with the first extension called Commerce Inspector. You can use this extension both for competition research and for product research.

This extension lets you see the best selling products, Facebook ads, monthly site visitors, and more on an ecommerce store.

They do have a paid version available with more options, but the free Chrome extension is awesome already. If you want to check out their pricing, then you can click here.

Want to install Commerce Inspector now? Click here to do so.

14. SimilarWeb
    Chrome extensions for Research: SimilarWeb
    Next up is another awesome extension to do competitor research. It’s called SimilarWeb.

This extension lets you see how much traffic your competitors have. Just keep in mind that they are estimates and that they don’t have an estimate for every single website.

But they have an estimate for most of the bigger websites. For example, here is a screenshot of how it looks like on this website:

An example of SimilarWeb on the Do Dropshipping website
There is one exception to the estimates, and that is when websites connect their Google Analytics account to SimilarWeb. Yes, you can do that.

Want to install SimilarWeb now? Click here to do so.

15. Pexgle
    Chrome extensions for Research: Pexgle
    Let’s continue this list with another awesome extension that helps you with product research, but also with competitor research. They are called Pexgle.

It helps you see tons of things on an ecommerce store. For example, you will get a traffic overview where you can also see which Facebook pages give the most traffic to them:

Example of how Pexgle looks like
You can also see their newly added products, winning products, and trending products. Plus, it helps you to easily see what kind of Facebook Ads they created.

If you’re on a product page, then you can use another awesome feature; their suppliers and competitors check. For example, you can see what other Shopify stores are selling that same product:

Pexgle shows the suppliers & competitors of a product
Want to install Pexgle’s extension now? Click here to do so.

16. Wappalyzer
    Chrome extensions for Research: Wappalyzer
    The next two Chrome extensions will be perfect for you if you’re curious to see what your competitor’s website is built on.

The first one is called Wappalyzer. Here is an example on their own website:

An example of Wappalyzer on their own website
You can also search on their website here. Keep in mind that searching on their website costs credits, but you will currently get 50 credits per month for free.

17. BuiltWith
    Chrome extensions for Research: BuiltWith
    The next one is called BuiltWith. This one is an easy to use version of their website version here. It will show you tons of things that the website is currently using. For example:

Example of how BuiltWith looks like on the Do Dropshipping website

Best for Productivity
Alright, now let’s move on to the best Chrome extensions for productivity. Because face it, everyone gets distracted sometimes.

These extensions will help you to stay focused when you need it the most.

And no, I didn’t include any adblocker or similar extensions, because I’m 100% sure that if you want ads blocked, that you’re already doing that anyway.

18. OneTab
    Chrome extensions for Productivity: OneTab
    Let’s begin this list of extensions that help with productivity with OneTab.

This extension is for ecommerce store owners who, like me, love having multiple tabs open.

I know it’s great to have everything open, but it does do something with your productivity if you got all these tabs open. Plus, as you read at the beginning about if you should use all the extensions at the same time, this counts for tabs as well.

If you got more tabs open, then Chrome will be slower. That’s why OneTab advertised a 95% memory reduction in the Chrome Web Store.

Another great thing is that you can save pages together that you normally use and lock them:

You can lock groups in OneTab
This way, they will still be there when you press ‘Restore all’.

For me, I locked websites like Facebook and Twitter under one group, and now I can open it anytime I want to share a new article.

That saves me so much time instead of going to each website manually. Awesome, right?

19. The Marvellous Suspender

If you’re not a fan of saving your tabs with OneTab, but still want to have tons of tabs open at the same time, then another extension that you can take a look at is The Marvellous Suspender.

This extension helps you save memory as well by disabling tabs that aren’t used in a certain amount of time (you can decide that).

The only thing is that the tabs will still be there, so you can still be distracted by them.

20. StayFocusd
    Chrome extensions for Productivity: StayFocusd
    Next up is an extension for those that are easily distracted by other websites. This one is called StayFocusd.

It helps you to stay… focussed!

This is an extension 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.

For example, if you know that you’re using a lot of Facebook while working, then you can add that to the block list.

21. News Feed Eradicator for Facebook
    Chrome extensions for Productivity: News Feed Eradicator
    The next extension, called the News Feed Eradicator for Facebook, will be great for you if you spend a lot of time scrolling on Facebook while you don’t want that. (If you do want that, then scroll down for the next extension)

This extension replaces your news feed with a quote. The best part about this extension is that it doesn’t block Facebook entirely. You can still use Facebook’s other features, such as Messenger and Groups.

Want to install the News Feed Eradicator now? Click here to do so.

22. Momentum
    Chrome extensions for Productivity: Momentum
    Next up is an awesome extension called Momentum that helps you change the ‘New Tab’ layout of Chrome.

I personally love it a lot for a few reasons:

Each day you will get a beautiful and inspiring picture.
You get a quote at the bottom.
Plus, you can add your main goals here. I personally use other tools for this, but it’s still great for those who currently don’t write anything down.
The great thing is that you can customize it to fit your own needs. Plus, they do have a premium version available for those that want even more features. You can learn more about that here.

I got one more great thing about this extension, and that is that the quotes that you see each day will be saved:

Example of quotes that you will see in the Chrome extension from Momentum
So if you ever need a quote for a project, then you can simply open up Momentum for some inspiration!

23. Pushbullet
    Chrome extensions for Productivity: Pushbullet
    The last Chrome extension that I got for you in the productivity category is called Pushbullet.

If you have ever wondered how to easily copy something over from your mobile to your computer / laptop or the other way around, then you need to take a look at this extension!

For example, if you want to copy a certain text to your mobile, then you can send it in the extension in your browser, and it will automatically send it to the other devices that you connected.

You can also select to only send it to one device. This could be helpful if you got multiple phones or desktops connected.

Another thing is that you can also connect it to your friends or colleagues to easily share something if you want that. (Or you can use Slack for that)

Best for Social Media

These extensions do not only help social media managers, but they can also help you as an ecommerce store owner.

Or, if you got this part outsourced already, then maybe you can find some inspiration here so your team can do an even better job!

24. Tailwind
    Chrome extensions for Social Media: Tailwind
    If you’re using Pinterest to market your ecommerce store, then Tailwind is a great application to help you with this.

The extension from Tailwind helps you to easily save everything to your Tailwind Pinterest queue for sharing later.

The only thing is that you need to have a Tailwind account for this to work.

A great feature from this extension is that you can click on it when you’re on a webpage where you want to save a few images from.

You can also use it when you’re on the Pinterest results page. Here is an example after I typed in ‘ecommerce’ on Pinterest:

Example from Tailwind
Now you can easily select which ones you want to schedule. Don’t worry, the next step will give you an option to edit everything like the description.

25. Buffer
    Chrome extensions for Social Media: Buffer
    Next up is another great extension that helps you with scheduling your social media posts. It’s the extension from Buffer.

This extension helps you schedule everything you see on the web. For example, if you like an image, link, tweet, or something like that, then you can easily add it to the queue from Buffer for sharing.

Here is an example of how that will look like when you hover over an image. The left schedule button is from Tailwind, the extension we covered above:

Keep in mind again that this extension is only useful if you’re already using Buffer for your social media scheduling or if you want to use Buffer for your scheduling.

26. HashTest
    Chrome extensions for Social Media: HasTest
    Next up is the Chrome extension HashTest. This extension helps you to easily check if your hashtags are good enough for your tweet.

Here’s an example of how that will look like:

Example of the HashTest extension in action with a few hashtags
After you have filled in the hashtags, they will tell you which ones will help you increase your reach on social media. You can then press on copy to Twitter or clipboard.

The only thing is that if you copy the best ones with their extension, that it will add their website, but you can of course remove that:
