Top 5 Free and Fast Chrome Extensions for Gmail
I don't know about you, but to me it seems like email and social media are waging an endless war against each other to see which can suck the most.
So I'll take every advantage I can get when it comes to the old “work smarter, not harder” mantra, especially when it comes to email. If you're in the same boat and use Gmail with Chrome or a Chrome web browser like Microsoft Edge, try these extensions for free to see how much time they can save you each day.
You can set the default address (To, CC, and BCC), subject line, and choose what, if any, will initially be filled in the body of the message. You can also select text on a web page, right-click, and select Create Email to fill the body with the selected text.

1.QUICK COMPOSE
There's nothing like needing to send an email, opening Gmail to write it, and then being stuck there for hours fighting for your inbox.

Gmail Tabs
There was a time when Gmail was a great way to organize messages. But if your inbox is anything like mine, the left side has gotten better.
You can keep your favorite icons front and center by using the Gmail Tabs extension, which places an "Add to Tab" link in the small menu of each of your Gmail icons. It allows you to add a tab to your Gmail settings that shows all the messages for a particular label, saving you from digging through the list of names every time you want to see them.
There is another "Add to Tab" button above your list of posts. You can use it to create tabs by a specific search, such as an email with an attachment or by the sender.
INBOX WHEN READY
Sometimes you need to protect yourself from . . . good, yourself. If you spend a lot of time checking email, try the Ready Inbox extension. At its core, the extension hides the contents of your inbox and forces you to hide it properly - just a little speed bump, so to speak.
Even worse, however, is the ability to set a timeout. You can block certain times completely or set a limit on the number of times you can check your email. Exceed the limit and you will have to wait a predetermined time until you can see your message.
