List some of the best chrome extensions you think are good for college students.
I'll start with one.
G App Launcher
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detai...gocdigcjm/
I like this extension since it helps me quickly get to google docs/sheets to do assignments.

Here's mine and technically I find them useful for everything, not just school (I forget the exact names of the extensions I use since I'm on mobile):
A good ad blocker extension, no need to explain
A screen reader extension to get through "readings" easier/passively
A dark mode extension for less eye strain
A video speed controller for speeding up course videos when the native player doesn't offer that feature

Here's what I use.
Video Speed Controller

Speechify Text to Speech Voice Reader
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detai...jpldiijjmm
I only have it enabled on click, so all I have to do is highlight the first word, then click Alt+Q.

Fireshot Pro
https://getfireshot.com/ - Useful for taking screenshots to track your progress and also for creating PDFs that can be loaded into Speechify. There are some pages that are formatted strangely so that Speechify only reads a few sentences, but creating a PDF out of just the main text can fix that.
Volume Booster
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detai...pcbcedgmpo - Some videos are super quiet, even with both the video controls and the PC volume turned up to max. This increases the volume even further.

GoFullPage is another good one:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detai...cl/related
https://gofullpage.com/
It allows you to capture the whole entire page, not just what's on your screen. It saves as a PNG or PDF. It's under developer tools.
Also there is PDF Mage but that doesn't allow you to print the PDFs that you save

In regard to the PDF not printing in the extension, if it's downloaded onto the desktop or a folder, you can open it in a pdf viewer and print from there.
