Undoubtedly, Google chrome is the best web browser among all available browsers in the web. You can know this after a few minutes as you begin using it. It has to its credit a number of SEO extensions.
Besides this, it looks chic and beautiful as the design of the chrome and combination of colors is awesome. Within a very short time, this browser has captured a major part of the market.
Among its several extensions, the best eight that can give a blogger a great helping hand are shared below. Those are the ones, which can be enormously helpful, while you search for the right kind of image, video, industry-related or local information - and, oh even keep track of your productivity.
1. Firebug
Firebug considerably helps you to search for tags and tweaks, which can help you to develop your rankings. It can give you very good help in toolbar integration.
For a certain domain, you can easily set off Firebug. It gets loaded much before all other scripts and has the advantage of capturing all calls from the console and demands from XHR for that particular page.
Acting much faster, it stores all codes and images in its extension’s directory of your computer.
2. Google Reader
Google Reader works fantastic, when you need too much of information for SEO. To remain active and efficient in the over competitive SEO business, you really need this sort of extension.
By exposing the unread count, it gives you the privilege of clicking on its icon. Then it shows you a preview of your reading list through a pop-up.

Normally, you get this function by CONTROL-ALT+PRTSCN. Google gives you this feature to assist you to select, interpret and highlight a particular page or the whole page of web in order to get the thing emailed to a person, who is unable to find the malfunctioning link and it may be due to the wrongly spelled keyword.
It may act like warning the person about his mistake in not getting something done. Another beauty of this extension is you can edit this before saving it in your store as a PNG image. It acts very fast in capturing the image of the page.
It can support horizontal scroll of pages for effective showing in one page.
4. Stay focused
Stay Focused is a tool that gives you the freedom to work on something, while browsing through other applications and sites of the web. As a matter of fact, there are so many exciting websites like Facebook and Twitter, which have a magnetic hold on you, causing distractions in your real work.
So this extension always keeps you aware of the productive things that you need to do without getting merged in the unnecessary things in the web frequently.
5. Note AnyWhere
Note Anywhere simply proves the worthiness of Google chrome. Although, this is concerned with the basic and simple work, with the help of this, you can leave a note on any webpage or site and then come back after a few days.
There is nothing to worry. It will be there as it is.
6. SEO Quake

The extension is useful for your searches on the web and lets you to sort the results basing on what you are looking for at any given moment. The only limitation of this extension is that it does not give social media sharing statistics for your posts.

Agree Chrome is the best browser, and listed are very cool extensions. To add, Scoop.it, RSS Feed Reader, buffer app extension. Can be good for a blogger.
Thanks DianaMaria for the article ,
By the way as we are toking about Chrome - I find the developer tools in chrome actually better than firebug these days.
I think Google reader layout very boring so i am using Feedly App on Chrome for managing my Google reader , Because Feedly wraps your Google Reader feeds in a neat, feature-rich package. It syncs with your Reader account seamlessly, is much easier on the eyes than the bare-bones Google Reader app, and plays nicely with a whole lot more third-party services.
Great list…Firebug and SEO Quake top the list. I would like to add goo.gl url shortner extension to the list. Its really awesome.
I have most of these but I don’t have Stay Focused. I will have to try that out as I’m continually on Facebook & Twitter! I also like Website Worth, it’s pretty cool.
Great Post Diana.
Blogger should really have these extension to check their blog stats on the go !
Screen capture is also a great extension but I preffer the built en tool in windows 7 and 8 !
I’ve seen an awesome extension which is flexible now a days coz lots of people keep open fb. “Google search from Facebook” extension that enable us to search at Google directly from facebook search box
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lheplhmgjfbljpocjpdfkjonbkapepim
BTW all the above mentioned extensions are great.
I have been using Firebug as I am a web developer and screen capture as I can easily make screenshots but I have never used the others you mentioned before. I think I am going to try the SEO extensions you mentioned as I am also doing a lot of SEO and never used any Chrome extensions but the ones you mentioned sounds really useful.
And for the stay focused plugin, I am not sure if it’s going work if I use it but maybe I’ll just try. Thanks anyway!

Before, I am only using firefox for link building task as it has many features and add-ons that are compatible on it. But as time passes by, I also discover that chrome is much more powerful than firefox. It loads more faster and I can also install add-ons/plug-ins on it. I love seoquake and foxyproxy plug-ins as those tools help me a lot on my job.

I recently added Chrome as another browser to ascertain what all the fuss was concerning. Initially I used it meagerly, but I’ve been slowly changing over as a result of Chrome has some extremely cool options not obtainable in alternative browsers and it looks to load quicker. I exploit a number of of the extensions that you simply listed and that i will certainly check up on a number of the others. Thanks for the list!
Hello JANE - Ad block, Smooth scroll, gmail checker, you tube video unblocker, stay-focused, are best extensions for me.
Agree with you DianaMaria, chrome is the best browser because of such an amazing collection of extensions, the list you mentioned here I am using almost all of them they are really very helpful :).
Chrome is by far my favorite browser. I love the seo tools and pr status.
I will definitely check out seo quake and seo serp Those look really effective.
You have listed almost all the necessary extensions for a blogger but I think Page Rank and Alexa Rank checker tool and Nofollow checker also deserve a place here.
Great list! I already use Stay Focused, SEO Quake extensions. I think, I should also give a try to the other plugins.
First, when I saw this title, for a second I thought- does Chrome have premium extensions?? I took the word “affordable” in the other way, it seems
Nice article DianaMaria. A lot of new things to learn for me in this article. I think, i need to add a lot of extensions in my chrome.
This is an excellent list! I have a few of these extensions, but was unaware of others. I will be researching them to see what will work best for me. Thanks for the list!
I have used few of this add-ons, but recently try to keep number of add-ons a bit lower as Chrome started getting too heavy and often crashing.
I am not new users of Google Chrome. I am using it from last 3 years. When I started my profession. I tried to use Firbug that is Google tool for developers but it is not effective on Google charom. This is only tool that will not work on my PC. May be it is my fault but other tools like SEO Quak, Secreen Capturing, Note, and few others are Good fit and useful tools
i am a big fan of Chrome since it started and now a days i am using SEO QUAKE, Firebug from your list. SEO quake is best ever seo extension i have found so far.
I always use Google Reader, because it helps me to find out immediately about all novelties, about all new and interesting posts, and to follow all the tendencies
Julia Spencer’s recent post.. How to Target Your Clients Using Facebook and Promoting Your Products Effectively
Great list. I would like to add some more good extensions which I use regularly. Feedly is an awesome RSS reader extension which gives a beautiful interface. BufferApp, Ginger spell checker, Pocket and LastPass are some other useful extensions for bloggers.
Chrome really is in a class by itself. I realyl don’t understand why people use others. Even firefox cannot keep up with its functionality and speed. Note Anywhere is GREAT, being able to make a note of something anywhere online for future reference is SUCH a useful tool. With how forgetful and distracted we have all become, having the ability to make a note on anything you find online is a great way to keep it in mind and return to it later.
Check for PDF print addon too. This will be helpful to convert your webpages into PDF with ease. Or you can just make PDF by pasting the URL in the plugin site.
Nice information. I always used google chrome. It is the best browser on the web.
Thank you very much for the great list. I am also a Google Chrome user. But can you please tell me any particular extension by which i can differentiate between dofollow and nofollow backlinks on a page?
Wow. I tried all of them and all are working great.
Just wanted to ask, will adding so many plugins slow down the browser or cause it to crash?
It’s a great article for me because for which I am looking - was found me that stuff here. I like to use Google chrome and was in a search of such SEO extensions.
Finally, going to add them.
Hey DianaMaria !
very nice insights and great list indeed. i really did not know about some of the extensions. specially chrome SEO plus, i really liked it.
Thanks.
Matt
Nice list, SEO quake is very useful for bloggers. I would also suggest Mozbar extension which helps to determine page authority and domain authority.
Hey there Maria, Thanks for the awesome great list some like note anywhere is one that i did not know of. Cheers
Google Chrome is just awesome. I have been using it for a long time. The extensions have added a captivating charm to the Chrome. You have provided here a great check list of the extensions. My favorite is SEO Quake. Thanks for the share.
Hey Diana, I use Google Reader, too - love it! But why would I want to use FireBug? Chrome has its own developer tools… are the differences so significant or is it just some special usage of yours that you recommend it? I can’t see any great features missing for my purposes in Google’s tool.
I’ll check out your SEO tools, haven’t heard of half of them, thanks for the hin
Nice post. I always use Google Chrome, but do not run many extensions on it. Always looking for more ways to make my browser even more productive. One tool I have found useful is the Google Translate extension for Chrome. Sure comes in handy some times.
Chrome works like a miracle for me, I have recently started using it and am getting hooked the more I use it. Thank you for sharing the extensions
Great article!
Thanks for sharing the good information Diana Maria. This is really a great help I never try these tools before. I want to try this new ideas on my own site.
Thanks for the post!
Great list Diana. One mention though. Seomoz bar should be within this list, as it shows domain and page authority, and also let’s you check the backlinks of a certain site, in a manner that Google is not capable of.
SEO quake and SEO SERP, both are really awesome extensions for a blogger. I have been using it for a long time. Now i gonna try other extensions too.
Mozbar can be another addition to this list. BTW thanks for sharing this awesome list, i will try to use those extensions that i am not using now and i hope that they would prove to be useful for me.
Hi Diane
I am not using any of these so must be the oldest dinosaur left alive. I have saved this post and after work today this will have to change I have just been using google webmaster and that is it.
So thanks great heads up lee
