The browser(chrome or firefox) extensions listed below are the ones that I use for my productivity and convenience. And I am sure that some of you are already using these extensions or will start using them immediately after reading this post.

Some of these extensions are for developers only and the rest are for everyone including developers.

**So, here is the list of browser extensions that I use daily:**

### AdBlocker Ultimate
AdBlocker Ultimate is a free extension that blocks ads and malicious domains known to spread malware. It also disables sneaky tracking.

Check out the extension:
[For chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblocker-ultimate/ohahllgiabjaoigichmmfljhkcfikeof?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon)
[For firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblocker-ultimate/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search)

### I don't care about cookies
Remove cookie warnings from almost all websites!

The EU regulations require that any website using tracking cookies must get user's permission before installing them. Imagine how irritating that becomes when you surf anonymously or if you delete cookies automatically every time you close the browser.

### Hide YouTube Fullscreen Controls
Hide the YouTube fullscreen controls when you move the cursor to the display border.

### Video Speed Controller
Speed up, slow down, advance and rewind HTML5 audio/video with shortcuts.

### Octotree - GitHub code tree (for developers only)
Browser extension that enhances GitHub code review and exploration.

Features:
- Fast IDE-like code tree
- Quick file search 
- Support GitHub themes
- Support private repositories
- Omni bookmarking
- High performance, working with repositories of any size

The extension is free but you can also opt for pro.

Check out the extension:
[For chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/octotree-github-code-tree/bkhaagjahfmjljalopjnoealnfndnagc?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon)
[For firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/octotree/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search)

If you use browser other than chrome or firefox, search for these types of extensions on the internet.
