While using absolutely any browser, users often have to open new tab, in order to enter the required page address. Most often, when we click on the "New Tab", either a blank page or the one that was specified as the home page opens. But this is very boring. It would be much more interesting if each user could "decorate" a new tab. V Google browser Chrome is now able to do this.
So let's take a look at the 8 most interesting extensions that allow you to change appearance and the functionality of the "New Tab".
Momentum
One of the most versatile extensions, the installation of which affects both design and functionality. When installing this add-on, a new interesting picture will appear every day. On its background, the weather forecast in your region for the current time will be displayed. Also, the extension will remind the user of the date and time. In addition, if the user is forgetful, then he can write a reminder or a list of tasks that need to be completed in a day. When you open each new tab, the written will flicker before your eyes, so the person will certainly not forget anything.
In addition to all this, Momentum allows every user to search for information on Google without having to leave the page.
Earth View from Google Maps
This extension makes it possible to replace the usual white background of the new tab with a random satellite image of the Earth. Similar images are displayed in Google earth... This extension will especially appeal to curious and tourists who set out to visit the most interesting places our planet. Especially for those who are interested in the depicted place, there will be a link below containing the name of the depicted place.
Currently
The Currently extension has been created especially for lovers of minimalist design. There are no bright and changing pictures, but the weather and time are displayed. Moreover, for more accurate data, you can manually indicate your location. Changing the font color is also supported.
Modern new tab
For fans of Windows 8, the developers decided to create a special extension for Chrome, which displays a new tab in the style of "eight". In this case, the most frequently visited sites are displayed as tiles. Moreover, you can view RSS feeds on them and even read news without visiting the site itself. In addition, the extension allows you to set your own image instead of the standard background and change the color scheme.
Dayboard
New tab with a to-do list. For those who constantly sit at the computer, gluing stickers on the refrigerator is simply useless. Them better fit Dayboard extension, containing a list of 5 items in which you can write things for the current day. Each day you can make a new list, while the Focus mode focuses on one of the most important points. All the plans made are saved and then you can view them, as well as see the schedule of completed tasks.
iOS 7 New Tab
The developers decided not to deprive fans of Apple products, who, due to some circumstances, cannot use their usual device. An extension has also been created for them that allows you to change the style of the new tab and make it look like iOS 7 New Tab.
Dream afar new tab
Also a good functional extension that will allow you to admire a new landscape every day. Also, when clicking on a new tab, the user will be able to see the time and weather in his region, as well as gain access to the most frequently visited sites and line google search... If these functions become uninteresting, then you can select others from the list of available functions.
Card Board
This extension provides access to all the functions and settings that the user needs for more comfortable work... He can set the list of these functions himself. These can be downloads, bookmarks, quick settings etc.
Google keep
With the ability to share notes with other users, Google Keep has firmly established itself as a family tool for keeping shopping lists and planning weekends. Among the advantages - a simple interface and offline access to notes. Among the shortcomings - the declared functionality of geo-reminders (for example, how you come home or walk past the store) - is not very reliable yet.ZenMoney
Having tried a couple of maintenance services home accounting, settled on ZenMoney. I have been keeping records of home finances for a long time, but this year I felt all the charm of a mobile application. I spent on lunch - right there, without getting up from the table, I recorded the expenses. The ascetic functionality of the mobile application allows you to enter the amount spent, thoughtful analytics is done at the computer. There is also a paid version - but haven't tried it yet.Google inbox
Great new product from Google for working with by e-mail from Gmail. Perfect for fans like me. Each letter can be returned to the Inbox at the appointed time (or place). New mail is automatically categorized, and each category can be configured with its own level of notification and presence in the Inbox (for example, you can show all new messages from social networks once a day, in the evening).MyFitnessPal
Popular calorie and exercise tracker. Just as keeping household finances is good for a household budget, keeping track of what you eat and drink is very positive for your body. It is especially useful when exercise and self-restriction in nutrition cease to have a noticeable effect.Of the additional advantages - it can pull information about activities from almost any fitness gadgets.
Runtastic Timer
Small timer for interval training like Tabata. Gives commands in English, counts the approaches. V paid version allows you to customize your versions of timers by changing the number and duration of approaches, rest and preparation periods.Google fit
New from Google bringing step counting to your phone. Not so long ago mobile phones gobbled up the market for simple cameras and mp3 players, and now came to the market for fitness gadgets. Now you need more than just a pedometer to get a place on your wrist. While I still use a Sony wristband to track my activity, it looks like Google Fit has been on my phone for a long time.Duolingo
Really good way to study a foreign language. I myself spent about six months learning Spanish, but, unfortunately, I gave up, despite the tangible progress. I will definitely come back to this next year, and it will definitely be Duolingo.Endomondo / RunKeeper
The third position is occupied by two participants at once. I honestly ran for six months with one, and six months with the other. It's hard to say which one is better, but it's definitely more interesting to run with a tracker than without it. Annoying glitches with recording a track happen to both.Endomondo has an interesting virtual competition feature. The company I work for now held an internal cup on this platform - I enjoyed running in the same team with colleagues from Germany and Canada.
Trello
Kanban is my passion, and Trello is by far the best whiteboard for running small projects as a team or alone. Mobile app practically in no way inferior to a brother for stationary computers and is constantly being improved. I use Trello to plan my blog, household chores, and more. Also, I share tips for using in my blog.Calm
Topping the top ten is the app that made the biggest impact on me this year. This is a meditation program recently released for the Android platform as well. Spending ten minutes a day meditating is perhaps the best investment that I can confidently recommend to everyone.There are several coaching programs of various lengths (in English) that guide the user through a meditation session, helping to relax and get in the mood. Ideal for those who would like to try practicing meditation but don't know where to start.
I continue to be confident that The best way the existence of technology - to come to the fore when there is a need for it and modestly retreat into the shadows when there is no such need.
An example would be setting up Spam and Drafts in Gmail - I recommend hiding them when there are no new messages in them. Thus, if the letter you need got into Spam, you will see this label in the main menu. Also, the Drafts label will appear when you postponed sending a letter (or it got lost in the process of writing).
The rest of the time, you can use the free two lines for labels that are more important to you and to save the resource of your attention.
Gmail users are fortunate in many ways. For example, they don’t need any extra effort to save the sent file attachment in their Google Drive. Users of other mail systems (especially corporate ones, which we do not particularly choose) are unfortunately less fortunate.
Warning: Your employer may have their own opinion regarding the possibility of placing work files in cloud services... Check with your supervisor if in doubt.
To begin with, here are a few options for why sending files from mail to Google Drive might be useful:
Work from home.
As a rule, you still have at least some kind of computer at home. And it is not always possible to carry a work laptop with you. A file uploaded to Google Drive is available to you from any computer with Internet access.
Send file to tablet
Thanks to Google apps Disk for tablets, you can read files on the go from your tablet, which is much more convenient than from a laptop. If you don't forget to check the offline checkbox, you can read it even on the plane.
Digital archive
Often document scanners can send you an image file to a postal address. You can send such a scan of a document to your Google Drive so that it is always at hand. My digital archive always helps me out when I urgently need, for example, a copy of my passport.
Automatic saving of attachment files
Most convenient way set up automatic saving of received files to Google Drive - use the cloud automation service Zapier. The service is in many ways similar to the one already, but with a greater emphasis on business applications. First level using Zapier is free. The main thing is to meet the threshold of the free number of triggering of the configured rules.
The Zapier rule below is already preconfigured. If necessary, to activate the rule, you will need to register with the service and configure access to your Google Drive. As a bonus for new users, you will get 100 additional free triggers per month.
As a result of activating the rule, you will receive a unique postal address in the Zapier system, to which you can forward letters with attachments. Don't forget to add it to your address book.
 |
| Button Copy to clipboard will copy your address to the clipboard |
Thus, a small investment of your time in getting to know and configuring Zapier will bring you tangible time savings on the routine manual file uploading.
