    AMAZING! But why isn’t blackbox extension here?



  3. Christine Ye on May 17, 2022 at 11:05 pm

    Hey Thomas, thanks for sharing these cool extensions. Have you used a text-to-speech extension called Speechify? Can you give some review on that?



  4. HD MovieClips on May 17, 2022 at 11:07 pm

  5. Jerome Stevenson on May 17, 2022 at 11:09 pm

    Small correction: We spelled AudiBlogs incorrectly in the video. Here’s the correct link: https://audiblogs.com/

    🧐 What did I miss? What are your favorite browser extensions?

    Have you tried Peak Culture? I find it very cool and useful for people who spend a lot of time in front of screens.
    I’m a pretty active guy, who loves to spend a lot of time in nature and doing sports(Calisthenics, PowerLifting …) and I find it awesome two have something like this which keep me motivated to track my habits and goals and to have something cool like this, whenever I open a new tab.



  36. Sahas Karunarathne on May 17, 2022 at 11:49 pm

    This video deserves way more than 200k views! Thomas Frank answered my everyday internet problems like popup ads, distracting websites, wishing that I could save the information in a website in this video….after I watched this video, I straightaway installed all the browser extensions Thomas Frank mentioned to solve my problems and I gotta say that I wished I knew about this extensions and how they solve my problems a long time ago.
    At the end of the video, he additionally describes about the importance of building an online presence which is more than anything I could’ve asked for after you being able to solve my day-to-day internet problems using browser extensions! Thankyou very much! I’ve being subscribed to you for 4 months now and my life had being changing it’s trajectory for a better turn! I hope you succeed in life and of course you will :))

    I recently developed a Chrome extension for myself (as an alternative to News Feed Eradicator) to make social media less addictive. It’s called "Saner Social Media"
