Add-ons are a great way to enhance the functionality of browsers. They provide exciting features that otherwise would not be available. Adding them to the browser streamlines the browsing experience.

Many extensions are available for Opera users that serve different purposes, such as blocking ads, making to-do lists, taking instant screenshots, etc.

Likewise, there are a few must-have extensions you must install on your browser to boost your productivity. There are hundreds of options, but we're going to look at the five best ones.

1. LanguageTool

LanguageTool is a handy grammar checker extension that serves as your assistant, catching grammar errors and preventing spelling errors in your text.

As you no longer need to check every line for grammar errors manually, the extension will certainly enhance your productivity. The extension works with almost every website and comes into action when you begin typing in text or composing an email.

In addition to checking grammar and correcting spelling errors, it offers suggestions to improve your writing. The extension simplifies the text by adding more suitable synonyms, picking up complex sentences, and grouping them into easy-to-navigate chunks.

It can catch typos in over 25 languages, making it an even better choice than other widely recognized grammar checking tools like Grammarly.

Having a large number of supported languages allows bilinguals to spot grammar mistakes without switching between translation extensions.

Even though the extension isn't as popular as other grammar extensions, it cares about users' privacy. While checking grammar, the connection it makes remains encrypted, and no third party can access your documents.

As a result, you can compose your confidential emails without any security concerns.

Thus, it has the necessary features to improve your writing communications or make your official documentation free of grammar errors. Do give it a try.

2. LastPass

LastPass is a password-management extension that reduces the burden on your memory. From saving the usernames and passwords of your favorite websites to the credit card information you use for online shopping, LastPass remembers all of it.

On landing on a website, it automatically fills in the login credentials, so you don't have to remember long and complex passwords.

Likewise, saving your credit card information is helpful when trying to catch a lasting discount. When you reach the checkout page, it automatically fills in all the necessary information to help you make a quick purchase.

Keeping in mind the confidentiality of the stored information, LastPass ensures that the data remains private and secure. To make your passwords hard to crack, LastPass monitors the passwords you set and suggests ways to make them stronger.

If your data is compromised in a data breach, LastPass notifies you to change your saved passwords on time. Moreover, by enabling multifactor authentication, the extension ensures that no prying eyes can peek into your information.

As the extension is available across most browsers, your data will remain consistent and easily accessible. While using a shared computer, you can prevent others from using your credentials by setting up a master password for your vault.

With LastPass' instant refilling of your saved information, you will save both time and effort and be more productive as a result.

3. MateTranslate

A handy translator is essential in this age of digital globalization. When communicating with clients across the border or trying to pronounce specific words, MateTranslate streamlines the communication process.

When you travel along non-native roads or view websites in another language, the extension will translate the word or page for you as you click.

MateTranslate makes you more productive by enabling you to check the meanings of different words on the same page, saving you the effort of switching between multiple windows. Though, if you'd prefer, you can also use other browser tools to translate web pages.

Providing support for 103 languages and the ability to save your custom list of words, MateTranslate makes learning a new language a breeze. It's also possible to sync the custom data across multiple devices, so tracking where you left is easy.

Thus, whether you are learning a new language, working with colleagues overseas, or enrolled in a distant learning program at a non-native institution, MateTranslate can save you time translating phrases.
