- Selenium IDE (the new updated one is quite handy to quickly find multiple locators for an object)
- BlazeMeter plugin (allows for record and replay integration with JMeter - again, handy to detect exactly what API calls are triggered as you go around a site)
- Axe for accessibility scans.

Grammarly can be hit and miss for me, sometimes it says that the slang words I use have an aggressive tone 
but it’s mostly helpful

- WAVE (Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool) great tool by WebAIM for an overall evaluation of accessibility. Watch out for false positives like every automated a11y tool but I like the build in colour contrast checker that you can adjust to find a winning combination.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wave-evaluation-tool/jbbplnpkjmmeebjpijfedlgcdilocofh - Loom, great for screen recording to show what the app or system is doing. Its been incredibly useful working remotely.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/loom-for-chrome/liecbddmkiiihnedobmlmillhodjkdmb - Bug Magnet, last but not least has to be this brilliant field testing tool. At a right click it has so much to offer from postcodes to unicode to SQL injection. Also customisable

I know it said top three but I also have Google Drive, Web Developer tools, aXe, adblock and 1password amongst other as well as using DevTools quite a bit too.

I’m on Chrome and mainly do API testing. Besides LastPass:
- JSON Viewer - pretty prints JSON
- EditThisCookie - monitoring and editing cookies
- Jira HotLinker - “quick access to Jira metadata when hovering over ticket numbers! This extension will show a tooltip when hovering over a jira ticket number on github or a ticket link.”
My just for fun one is Tabby Cat that has little cartoon cats on each new browser tab.

Evernote web clipper, Loom recorder, 1Password, AdBlock, and, of course, Grammarly:)

Nice ones, to add something a bit different:
Wappalizer, handy to know which technologies and versions are being used on the site.
Key Jump keyboard navigation, use keys instead of the mouse to open links.
Session Buddy, keep saved sessions of tabs to readily open them and work with them.

I tried this today, the first record crashed my browser 
I don’t know how I managed it but I did 
Loom has made a change so you can’t use it for recording talks anymore without buying a plan. Mine went flaky for a bit too.
I was just trying to record dev tools on here while testing something out 
I’m rather fond of RGBlind which just sits in my toolbar and only needs a couple of clicks to simulate what a page would look like to someone with protanopia or deuteranopia (the two “flavors” of red-green color blindness).
