I have not checked any Chat GPT extensions yet but will review some and update my list

I’m actually not using that many browser extensions, now that I think of it.
My favorite one: AdBlock 
Looking forward to seeing what others use, might get some good stuff out of it!
Interesting article. However, as far as CSS and font is concerned, i use developer’s tools. I don’t like to add too many extensions because the browser becomes heavy in such a case.
Bug Magnet is an amazing extension for UI testing text fields, and one of the first things I install on any work machine (and on my personal laptop too).
Anyone got an extension that makes it easy to stress things that are more practical like forcing javascript to be taking longer to load?

Only javascript or the whole page should take longer to load?

An extension that makes it easier to detect when scripts run before the page has completed loading by somehow provoking either slow to load scripts, or slow to load resources. but without requiring the person to have to hack about too much. It’s such a common web page loading error for first-time experience, there must be some easy win plugins to provoke these 2 big cases?

I cannot really think of any extension at the moment but I would have 2 suggestions that might help
I can show you both if you like in a call @conrad.connected
The below book is free and is full of extensions and tools and everything that could help you at work
But my favourites are BirdEatsBug and WordTune
I use few extensions.
I have the habit to test in a private browser window, so that I am reasonably sure that I start out in a clean state, with empty cache and no cookies.
In my non-private browser, I have the postman interceptor. I did not get the postman proxy to work yet.
Another shout out for Bug Magnet, it’s super useful.
Also GoFullPage for those massive screen caps, and ColorPick Eyedropper.
We have an in house one that we use a lot too, but that won’t help anyone else 
Great list will check out some of these. I’ve been using Fake Filler, form filler with dummy data. Fake Filler - Chrome Web Store
Searching in web pages with regex.
Especial when I open a text file (e.g. logs) from our CI server without explicit download.
There are multiple, this is the one I picked.
There are some interesting testing suggestions to look into here, thanks!
In more general usage I run: uBlock, Dark Reader, and Web Scrobbler.
Recently discovered Bug Magnet too, so thanks for that @geoffd!
Thanks for the heads-up about Bug Magnet, @christopher_d_hughes.
Did you find an alternative worth sharing here?
this is happening to a lot of extensions. i find chrome less usable by the day thanks to their approach to advertising and tracking. i still use it sparingly for testing when i need to check in different browsers. love edge but it is built on chromium as well and might fall into the same traps. firefox and now zen are my favourites and mostly provide the same or similar extensions.
