Chrome Extensions

WhatFont

WhatFont is a chrome extension that tells you what fonts are used on the page. When you hover over an element on a page, it'll show you the name of the font. This plugin is designed for the use of designers who want to use a font that they find on a website somewhere.

To use the plugin, you simply click on the WhatFont icon, and now wherever you hover, you'll see the font used in that element.

This extension is very easy to use. I didn't need any instruction, it just worked. I would definitely recommend this plugin to anyone who finds themselves working with fonts.

HTTPS Everywhere

My next extension is HTTPS Everywhere. It does exactly what it sounds like: it makes sure you have an HTTPS connection on every site. This means that all information you send back in forth is in the Secure Socket Layer, so it's encrypted.

There's not much to say about this plugin, once it's installed, your information is protected from anyone trying to spy on you.

This extension doesn't take any learning. Even if someone doesn't know what SSL is, they'll still understand that this plugin helps protect their information.

LastPass

LastPass is a password protection service. With the extension installed, you have an easy way to store your passwords for a variety of sites. Your passwords are encrypted, so this is useful for anyone who's concerned about their security while browsing the web.

LastPass has many features, but it's easy to get started with storing passwords. You can simply add a new password with the plugin and use it the next time you visit the site.

LastPass is very easy to use, the developers made sure to make instructions easy to find and made the program very functional.
