Chrome Add-Ons that Increase Work Flow

Chrome is my go to browser and I really love it when I find add-ons that save me time.

Recently I have added a couple of add-ons that not only have saved me time but increased the efficiency of my work flow.   goo.gl URL Shortener is one add on that has made it's way to my chrome menu bar. I use to copy and past long URL's in a separate window and use bit.ly to shorten the link. There is a much simpler solution. Install goo.gl URL Shortener and when you go to the website that you need a shortened URL for, just click on the extension and select copy.  You can also click QR Code and the add-on will auto generate a QR code for you. This is what you'll see:

It's like magic and fast! (Ok, it's really not magic but the first couple of times it feels like it is.)

The second Google Add-On I recently added is Black Menu.

Black Menu for Google is a Chrome extension that takes all the best apps and services of Google and combines them into one single, convenient experience that makes everything Google offers accessible from your menu bar. If you want to go to your calendar, drive or youtube channel you are one click from accessing it once you install this add-on.

Once you install the add-on you can customize the menu that appears on the left navigation menu and include the google tools you use the most.  If you have multiple google accounts you can add them in the upper right corner where your username appears and switch easily between accounts.
