Browser Tools I Use Everyday

In this video I'll show you the 5 Web Browser tools I use daily.  These help me to be more efficient and focused at the computer...

TOOL #1. First of all, I use and love Google Chrome because my web bookmarks are connected to my Google account instead of tied down to my physical computer.  Also, since Chrome is among the top 3 browsers used, almost all websites have been made compatible with Google Chrome.

TOOL #2. On Google Chrome, I use the feature "Bookmark All Tabs" (it's in the Bookmarks menu) if I want to not lose a bunch of tabs I've been browsing.  I add them to a folder with the current date, e.g. 2015-07-30, so that I can remember when I bookmarked them.  

I also have a special bookmark folder called "Daily" which is what I put all the webpages I use everyday.  When I come to my computer each morning I right-click (or Control-Click) the "Daily" folder and then "Open All Tabs"

TOOL #3. Then I use a free tool called "pin all tabs."  Again I only do this once I've opened the tabs I use most often.  I've been doing this for months and it saves me time every morning!  Here's the link to get Pin-All-Tabs: http://j.mp/1VNxyhG

TOOL #4. If I have too many tabs open, I click on "One Tab" (another free tool)  which instantly collapses all the tabs, into a linear list, so it's easy to manage!  Compared to having dozen(s) of tabs open, having it in a singular list creates visual simplicity and allows more focus.  You gotta try it.  Get One Tab for free here: http://www.one-tab.com

TOOL #5. Another free tool I use all the time is "Momentum".  It's simple -- every time I open a new tab, instead of showing me websites I frequently visit (which can be distracting!) I instead see a beautiful image and the current time.  Download Momentum for free here: http://j.mp/1JS9fWV

I hope at least one of these tools will make your web browsing more efficient and fun!
