Top 5 Chrome Extensions for Productivity in 2025

The Chrome Web Store is filled with extensions, but finding the ones that actually save time can be a chore. We've curated a list of the top 5 extensions that are essential for any productivity-focused setup in 2025.

1. TabTidy

Best for: Keeping your browser lightweight and focused.

If you're the type of person who ends up with 50 tabs open by noon, TabTidy is a lifesaver. It automatically suspends unused tabs to free up RAM and organizes them so you can find what you need. It's the digital equivalent of a clean desk.

2. StayFocusd

Best for: Eliminating distractions.

Social media is the enemy of deep work. StayFocusd limits the amount of time you can spend on time-wasting websites. Once your allotted time is used up, those sites are blocked for the rest of the day.

3. Grammarly

Best for: Writing clear, mistake-free emails.

Good communication is key to productivity. Grammarly runs in the background and catches typos, tone issues, and grammatical errors in real-time.

4. Loom

Best for: Asynchronous communication.

Sometimes a 2-minute video is better than a 20-minute meeting. Loom lets you record your screen and camera simultaneously, making it perfect for quick demos or feedback.

5. OneTab

Best for: Decluttering quickly.

When you need to declare bankruptcy on your current session, OneTab collapses all your tabs into a single list. It's a great way to save a session for later without keeping the memory hogged.
