Many private browsers provide outstanding performance. But when we talk about web browsers, everyone thinks of Chrome and its extensions. Also, Chrome is worth the money since users get one of the fastest browsing experiences with Google Support. But one thing where Chrome suffers is its RAM consumption management.
Because of that, Firefox came into the picture, and developers designed Firefox in such a way that it has the best RAM consumption management in the industry. Although Chrome has a 66% market share all over the world, most users use Firefox due to RAM management. Additionally, the user has the option to add additional extensions. So, let’s discuss that and learn how to make Firefox more enjoyable than ever.
The best Firefox extensions that you should use to boost productivity
Initially, there was no scope for extensions to be added to Firefox. But later, the need for extension support arose, and the developer allowed extension support for the browser. Therefore, even with Firefox’s ordinary app, users will be able to benefit from personalized features. Following that, Firefox’s active user base increased dramatically. Based on that, as of now, Firefox has around 30,000 extensions to add.Â
I agree this is a good thing, but it creates a space for users to decide which extension is the most useful for their productivity. On that note, we reviewed all the available extensions and have shortlisted some of the best from them to boost productivity. Additionally, here we are providing those shortlisted extensions with their pros and cons. This will allow you to select the best one for your needs based on your preferences. Without any delay, let’s have a look at the table below.
