For instance, instead of switching to a service with a dictionary or a translator, you can use a special tool called ImTranslator. This extension will open a window exactly on the tab where you currently are. Do not worry about the quality of the translations offered by this extension since it is using the technologies of Microsoft and Google. This extension can be installed for Google Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Edge and Yandex Browser.
A situation in which you need to use a text which you have just checked on your PC on your smartphone. You can used it in different ways including sending it with your mail. Yet, the simplest and fastest option you can adopt is creating an account on PushBullet. By the way, this service available as an extension for Google Chrome, Edge, Yandex Browser, Opera and Firefox will allow you to send small files as well. Of course, it also works the other way around and you will be able to send files from your smartphone to your PC as well.

Keeping annoying advertisements and unnecessary elements of websites at bay
Needless to say how annoying advertisements can become making it literally impossible to check any content on a website. One of the best extensions for such browsers as Google Chrome, Yandex Browser, opera, Firefox, Safari and Edge is Adblock Pluswhcih will successfully block banners intervening into the flow of using the web.
A particularly disturbing element of websites is a banner either with an advertisement or a registration form which cannot be closed. Some developers hide the cross button for closing such elements on purpose so that you will have to check the banner. Sometimes the button is there but instead of closing a banner it is just redirecting you to another website. Fortunately, it can be avoided if you use a special extension for Google Chrome, Opera, Yandex Browser or Edge. The extension is called BehindTheOverlay which will give you a special button for closing such windows forcefully. You can also switch the extension to the mode known as Overlay Remover Auto which will close the banners on its own.
