Browser Extensions - Back to Basics

Very informative! This is the first time I did the research on this topic and I glad I started with you.

So clear & so simple.
I loved it!
(By the way, I subscribed: your channel is really interesting!)

I just watch your video on extensions and I have a question about extensions. I came across an extension that performs the task that would be useful to me. Right, before downloaded it says that by downloading it you're agreeing to their terms conditions. So I looked at their terms and conditions and one of the things you're agreeing to is that they will send you emails and push notifications for other products that they have. Of course, this feels concerning because I don't need to receive any more marketing material that I already am. After watching your video my question is: Since I can go into my browser and turn the extension on an off will it also turn off the push notifications and other stuff associated with their user agreement? Thanks for your thoughts.

How do you re-organize the Extensions that appear on the top of the brower? Jerry

Thank you TQ so much

Hey dottotech are you using the beta version of OS X El Capitan?

Thanks Steve O'.  I finally gave in and have been playing around with Evernote and with this demo learned about web clipper.  Had been using Pocket but this will work better for me.

As far as I understand, the "Apps" on the chrome store are not android apps. They don't seem to work on android phones or tablets, and I can't use them on the chrome app on my mobile devices. They only work on the chrome web browser. They're actually quite interesting on their own. I use them as shortcuts to the apps that I use the most online. For example, the sunrise chrome app opens up a simple browser window, but trello opens directly on my trello account on a web page rather than a separate window.

the raindrop app is good

Hi, I got a lot from your way of explaining this feature. I knew about extensions, but your information was very helpful in putting it in a more concurrent formate. One of my favorite extensions is the Google Dictionary. I can highlight a word to get a definition of the word. I write and read a lot, so it is a good extension for me. I really enjoy your videos. They help organize, inform, expand usability of your topic. You are the first resource I go to if I am stuck on something. An example is the web clipper. I learned how to clip, but then I would lose it in Evernote. Also, Lastpass, I get lost on how to use the many features that it has. So thank you again for your time and energy to inform others. Bless you  ;-)

could you please update the Safari icon in the thumbnail, please?

Life without extensions is not worth living. :-). My Favs:

1Password --> Prefer this highly acclaimed password manager to LassPass. Not subscription based, which I like. Also integrated into many iOS apps...and that number is growing. This makes the mobile experience on my iPhone more user friendly and convenient.

AdBlock --> Really, who like ads in their browsers?!

Awesome Screenshot --> For those folks who want the functionality of Evernote WebClipper, but don't want their web screen shots automatically embedded in Evernote, this is an awesome extension. Allows you to edit and annotate web screen shots, etc. Heads up...when installing Awesome Screenshot you will be asked to allow it to install one of those shopping features and to change your search engine to Yahoo (guess this is how they monitize the extension). Assuming you do NOT want this, tap "Decline" for this part. If you mess-up and you accept, no problem. Just change you search engine back to Google, Duck Duck Go, or whatever and go into Extension preferences and click the shopping feature to off.

Evernote WebClipper --> I use this when I want my web screen shots to go into Evernote

Cheers!
