Google Chrome<\/a> has a fantastic feature for its web browser that we love using called extensions. You can add apps from the Chrome Web store as you please, giving you more functionality while you search the internet. Adding and removing extensions<\/a> is as simple as pie, and today, we\u2019re going to show you how to do the former.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Add Extensions to Chrome<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before we begin, it\u2019s necessary for us to issue a warning. Extensions are developed by third parties for their programs or apps, and your computer is at risk from malware or other malicious content if you add a harmful one. Ensure that you read the customer reviews before you add any extension to Chrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Find your extension<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To start your journey, head to the Chrome Web store and find an extension you\u2019d like to add. You can insert a name in the search bar, and the site will look for all related content. If you know exactly which app you want to add, it\u2019ll make the process much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Add the extension<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019re happy with your selection, you can click on \u201cAdd to Chrome\u201d to install it. It may take a few moments for the file to download and then install into the web browser, so practice some patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Approve permissions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In some situations, you may need to provide Chrome or the app specific permissions. Read through these carefully to ensure that you aren\u2019t allowing it access to your private data or letting it install harmful files. You should only approve it if you feel completely comfortable with what it will do once installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extend Chrome\u2019s functionality<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s undeniable that Chrome extensions make your user experience much more pleasant. If you have a Grammarly<\/a> account, you can install the app onto the web browser to check your spelling while you write your articles. You can also add a VPN if you want to watch online movies without any prying eyes checking your activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
