# Browsers

[Chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/) is the best choice because of several reasons: Extensions, Devtools, browser-accounts.

[Firefox Developer Edition](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/) also has its perks.

Opera browser runs on the same engine as Chrome so you can use chrome extensions once you set up this extension: <https://addons.opera.com/en-gb/extensions/details/install-chrome-extensions/>

Notable extensions are:

1. [Wappalyzer](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wappalyzer/gppongmhjkpfnbhagpmjfkannfbllamg?hl=en)
2. [Google Keep](http://www.google.com/keep/)
3. New Tab extensions-\
   [Tabbie](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabbie-material-new-tab-p/kckhddfnffeofnfjcpdffpeiljicclbd?hl=en)\
   [500px](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/500px-photo-new-tab-inspi/clbaflfnbbbgjppjogdmnhkgpiijamdg?hl=en)\
   [New Tab](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/home-new-tab-page/ehhkfhegcenpfoanmgfpfhnmdmflkbgk/support)
4. [~~JSONView~~](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jsonview/chklaanhfefbnpoihckbnefhakgolnmc) This extension is in maintenance - <https://github.com/sloanlance/JSONView-for-Chrome/issues/1>

Best practices to employ: Use bookmarks, Open as few tabs as possible to save on RAM. Or use [Tab suspenders](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/tab%20suspender?hl=en) extension for this.
