Browser Add-ons • These are small programs that you choose to install inside your browser (therefore making it bigger) • Similar to Apps on smartphones • They add useful automation to some of the interactive work you do with a browser, e.g. shopping • For example: • Fill in a form with your name & address • Check your spelling • Translate from a foreign language • Provide control over Javascript programs
Some useful add-ons • Chrome – supplied by Google For add-ons go to the menu (top-right) and select 'Tools' then 'Extensions' • Strangely, there isn't a Google Toolbar • So you need to search for ones like: • Autofill Forms • British English Dictionary • Translator Select 'Get more extensions' and search for the above. Google provide 'Translate' and Dictionary' which are similar to those components in Google Toolbar. But there isn't a good 'Autofill Forms'. I suggest you also install a version of 'AdBlock'.
Chrome also has 'Apps' When you select 'Get more extensions' you are taken to the 'Chrome Web Store'. As well as Extensions, you can search for 'Apps'. These are bigger add-ons and are placed on a separate web page for access. You need to have, or create, a 'Google Account' in order to do this.
