There is a list of the best Google Chrome extensionsforjournalists to install on your browser that will speed up the process. Or at least it will keep you from checking Twitter as often. ### The list of Chrome extensions for journalists: - [TinEye](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tineye-reverse-image-sear/haebnnbpedcbhciplfhjjkbafijpncjl?hl=en&ref=interhacktives.mymagic.page) A definite must-have for anyone working on **verification**. This tool can tell you where an image is from, and where it’s been used. You’ll also be able to search for similar images with higher resolutions. Win-win. - [WebScraper](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-scraper/jnhgnonknehpejjnehehllkliplmbmhn?hl=en&ref=interhacktives.mymagic.page) Still not sure how to scrape data with R? This is an extension made with data journalists in mind. Give this a go. You’ll be able **to scrape** multiple pages and then export it all into a CSV file. - [ColorPicker](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/colorpick-eyedropper/ohcpnigalekghcmgcdcenkpelffpdolg?hl=en&ref=interhacktives.mymagic.page) This tool may not seem essential for reporters, but think of how much you can do when you have the exact **colour of a webpage**. It’s definitely a tool to have to up your game when you’re making cover images for articles or even CVs for job applications. - [Boomerang](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/boomerang-for-gmail/mdanidgdpmkimeiiojknlnekblgmpdll?hl=en&ref=interhacktives.mymagic.page) A life-saver for all you night-owls who write important emails at 2 am, but leave it in drafts so they can be sent at a ‘reasonable’ hour. This extension gives you the ability **to schedule** emails, to pause inboxes (finally) and to send automatic follow-up emails. How productive! - [StayFocusd](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stayfocusd/laankejkbhbdhmipfmgcngdelahlfoji?hl=en&ref=interhacktives.mymagic.page) Speaking of productivity, if you want to stop yourself from checking your Twitter feed every five minutes, then this Chrome extension will be handy. It **blocks out specific pages** for as long as you’d like. Probably not the best idea for social media managers. ### More tips... - [SaveToPocket](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-to-pocket/niloccemoadcdkdjlinkgdfekeahmflj?hl=en&ref=interhacktives.mymagic.page) Remember that journalists never have time? That applies to read other people’s articles too! Luckily, SaveToPocket allows you to **bookmark** certain articles for later when you do have a few extra minutes to spare. It’s a really neat reading list after all. - [Grammarly](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/grammarly-for-chrome/kbfnbcaeplbcioakkpcpgfkobkghlhen?hl=en&ref=interhacktives.mymagic.page) Forget Microsoft Word spellchecker, Grammarly allows you to see all your little mistakes everywhere you type. Even better, it looks at more than just your **spelling**, telling you when you’ve missed a word or phrase too. - [CrowdTangle](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/crowdtangle-link-checker/klakndphagmmfkpelfkgjbkimjihpmkh?hl=en&ref=interhacktives.mymagic.page) This is for all you social media gurus out there. CrowdTangle allows you **to see who’s shared your link on which platform**, and the basic reach it received. The extension still needs a bit of improvement, but it’s great to have on your browser now. - [Google Keep](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-keep-chrome-extens/lpcaedmchfhocbbapmcbpinfpgnhiddi?hl=en&ref=interhacktives.mymagic.page) If you find anything on the web that you think you’ll need to use later, literally anything, click on this button. It’ll **save** it **to your Google account**, meaning you can open it on any device you have. Maybe this should have come pre-installed with all Chrome browsers. - [The Great Suspender](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/the-great-suspender/klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg?hl=en&ref=interhacktives.mymagic.page) This aptly-named extension **kills off** any tabs in the background while you’re not using them, and you can refresh them again with the click of a button. Don’t lie to yourself, you know you have loads of **unused tabs** on your computer right now. - [Momentum](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/momentum/laookkfknpbbblfpciffpaejjkokdgca?hl=en&ref=interhacktives.mymagic.page) Full disclosure: this is a not journo-specific chrome extension, but everyone should download it nonetheless. Every time you open a new tab, Momentum will show you **a beautiful image** and your glaring **to-do list**. And it works! Did we miss anything?
