Install Chrome extensions from any source

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Google no longer allows you to install extensions from outside its own web store. However, if you’re prepared to take responsibility for what you install, you can get around this restriction and install extensions from anywhere. First, make sure you have the latest version of the browser installed, then download the third-party extension you want in CRX (Chrome extension) format. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> <img alt="Install Chrome extensions from any source" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpz2d3JhE7oLnGxycM9bLFgxbcuJkBXfMPdf9eS2B3I1R-0o7_Ty9jvYapVrIcFjeoIf0qWbr1BM9WrsKG73pBZylHrUSw-x0aHAZL6ZXx7cbHz84SY01cY3IRsDrWMbbhEAJakdN2p0I/s1600/Install+Chrome+extensions+from+any+source.jpg" title="Install Chrome extensions from any source" /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Click the Settings button and select More Tools, Extensions, then tick the ‘Developer mode’ option.

Save web pages by smiling at them (Chrome)

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div style="text-align: justify;"> One of our tutorial we looked at a program called eviacam, which lets you control your PC with head movements. <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/smile-suggest/fkegkaflmcaihgbdjhiokoejhgjilepe?hl=en-GB" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Smile Suggest</a> takes this idea a step further by letting you save web pages you like by smiling into your webcam. Install the extension, grant it access to your camera and click the Settings icon so it can capture and rate your smile (ours was a ‘10’, of course).</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> <img alt="Save web pages by smiling at them" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgCLBQk036v00fY3LnYM35_lb53hdrXeZ4Qd_hgKgOt-lyfLamQR1MTKxwwn8kigjgh22jtF0KZ0Juys-FLtAnHr2O44-OVvC1CxHHW7UkhUyQPA30qMS_4jXxBcjqK3KCr8u1hLsuP8Q/s1600/Save+web+pages+by+smiling+at+them.jpg" title="Save web pages by smiling at them" /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Once this is done, Smile Suggest will monitor your face and save any pages that prompt a grin as you browse the web. Click its toolbar button to view the list and bookmark, share or delete individual entries. It's a clever idea, although it's likely that your face is usually immobile while you’re sat at your PC, and you might not be keen on your webcam spying on your smirks.</div> </div>

Track your scrolling distance With a jogger

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Have you ever wondered what distance you cover every day by scrolling up and down web pages? Now you can find out using a fun Chrome extension called <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/scroll-o-meter/ekgifjamocffoikgnapdbabpaapoappn?hl=en-GB" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Scroll-o-Meter</a>. This tracks how far you’ve scrolled in miles or kilometres, based on the size of your screen, and awards you achievements for reaching set goals. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> <img alt="Track your scrolling distance With a jogger" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtBMNlqmC2BHVYAydI40Aj8kUjb9HzkviMDUULc5ldBEBqlp-O881yhaBpYTGb8lWOj9Su-6cnbqXVFCWS7Mbda_fV1ID0GuWgm7FPX5ZtSr9PtzLe1QZDj3yWBjeKJxFcYbXUGZPt9cw/s1600/Track+your+scrolling+distance+With+a+jogger.jpg" title="Track your scrolling distance With a jogger" /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Not only that, but the add-on also places a tiny jogger at the bottom of your browser, who runs from one side to the other as you scroll and pauses when you stop. You can hide this little man if you find him distracting - we managed to get him all the way across our screen on the marathon Mail Online homepage alone!</div> </div>
