Extensions I'm using:

  1. Hold down Ctrl and click the Reload button.
  2. Hold down Ctrl and click F5.
  3. Hold down Ctrl + Shift and click R. Here are a few of my favorite ways to use Chrome. ## Read Mode (aka Distill) > This is probably the coolest feature in Chrome you aren't using. Ever noticed the 'Reader Mode Available' on Safari on your iPhone? Turning it on makes reading a webpage much easier on a smaller device. It strips out all the non-essential parts of a webpage to give you just the core content of the page in a 'distraction free' way. Enable it via a enabling reader mode by typing this into the URL line: `chrome://flags/#enable-reader-mode` Once it's been enabled, you can access it via the settings (3 dots): ![](https://pubwriter.net/images/chromeReaderMode.jpg) And here's how it looks: ![](https://pubwriter.net/images/distill.jpg) It's a similar effect you may already see in Safari: ![](https://pubwriter.net/images/readerMode.png) PS: [Here's an alternative extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/reader-view/ecabifbgmdmgdllomnfinbmaellmclnh). ## Chrome Extensions These Chrome extensions will enhance your web (& Pubwriter) experience. ### [Fokus - Emphasizes anything you select by covering the rest of the page with a semi-transparent black overlay](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fokus/flkkpmjbbpijiedjdgnhkcgopgnflehe) ### [Reader View - Strip away clutter like buttons, background images, and changes the page's text size, contrast and layout for better readability!](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/reader-view/ecabifbgmdmgdllomnfinbmaellmclnh) This one rocks! ### [Copy as Markdown](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/copy-as-markdown/fkeaekngjflipcockcnpobkpbbfbhmdn) > Tip: right click to copy link as a Markdown link (complete with page title!) or setup a [keyboard shortcut](#shortcut). **It also works on images.** ### [TOC](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/smart-toc/lifgeihcfpkmmlfjbailfpfhbahhibba?hl=en) This is one of my favorites! When a well formatted page doesn't offer your a table of contents (map), this does the trick! And... when you right click over an image, it is smart enough to insert the image markdown code instead. [The creator](https://blog.yorkxin.org/) of this plugin is a genius! ### [Simple AutoScroll](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simple-auto-scroll/dccjkemhmffnljlnnoffljpkhkfpldff?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog) Autoscroll automatically scrolls the page at the speed you prefer (right click after it's installed to fine tune the speed settings).

Great when you are tired of reading and want the page read to you! [![](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16258846/Pubwriter/voiceinstead.jpg)](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/voice-instead/kphdioekpiaekpmlkhpaicehepbkccbf?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog) ### [Send to Kindle for Google Chrome - Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/send-to-kindle-for-google/cgdjpilhipecahhcilnafpblkieebhea?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog) If you own a Kindle, Send To Kindle will transfer any pages you find on a PubWriter page to your preferred Kindle device. An alternative is [Push to Kindle - Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/push-to-kindle/pnaiinchjaonopoejhknmgjingcnaloc?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog).

[Grab the extension here](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-calendar/gmbgaklkmjakoegficnlkhebmhkjfich) It magically recognizes a date on a page like this: 5/5/2020 - Brian's 50th Birthday! ### Emmet Re:view This is [a great extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/emmet-review/epejoicbhllgiimigokgjdoijnpaphdp?hl=en) to see how your website looks on multiple mobile devices at one time! #### Testing
