O Google Chrome is one of the most used browsers in the world and has a store with millions of extensions. Among so many options, we have created a list with 10 tools that will certainly make your navigation easier.
But here's an important tip: the Chrome is known for its high RAM consumption and the more extensions you activate, the more RAM it will eat. Use it wisely, okay?
With that said, here are the tips:

Safe in Cloud
Dealing with dozens of accounts is complicated. And when we talk about security, one of the main tips is to keep a different password for each service. THE Safe in Cloud is a password manager, through the Chrome extension it automates the login, facilitating the whole process. Interestingly, the extension does not work independently: the software must be installed on the computer. An interesting alternative to the service is the LastPass (which consumes a lot of memory).

The Great Suspender
At the beginning of the post I made a warning about the RAM memory consumption that installing multiple extensions can cause. But what really eats up your RAM in Chrome is the amount of open tabs; I myself usually keep a few dozen. the extension The Great Suspender manages to solve this problem by suspending the activity of the tabs automatically. The extension offers manual functions such as suspending a single tab, suspending them all or reloading them all at once. It is also possible to set a minimum time of inactivity so that the tab is automatically deactivated and maintain a list of sites that are not suspended, regardless of time.
