This is where the Google Meet Volume Control add-on chips in. The video conferencing service which is only available through web browsers doesn’t have a native tool to adjust the volume. Google Meet may provide you with a slew of functionalities but volume control isn’t one of them. You may also use the Freeze feature on Mercator Studio to get your screen frozen “intentionally” during a Meet call. Besides these basic controls, you can also apply blur, tint, vignette, texts, and even emojis.Īdditionally, you can change camera views inside Google Meet like rotate/flip your feed, crop your view and apply presets to change your face’s color tones quickly using this extension. This extension provides users with all the means to adjust their appearance by allowing them to tweak the exposure, contrast, lighting, saturation, temperature, and other aspects.

Press the customisable hotkey and it'll close your current tabs, then optionally delete your history, cookies and more. No sooner are you checking out a website you really shouldn't, when your boss/ partner/ some other random annoying person turns up and shows great interest in exactly what you're doing.
It's also able to grab video clips while they're playing, and integrates with all the most popular download accelerators (and plenty of obscure ones, too). If you just want to quickly download all the links, movies or audio clips on a page, and at the maximum possible speed, then give FlashGot a try. It replaces the menu bar with a tiny pop-up menu that appears just before the navigation buttons, saving a surprising amount of real estate and letting you squeeze more images onto the screen. If you're spending all this time viewing images and videos then you'll want to display them at the highest possible screen resolution. Each button includes a progress bar for easy download monitoring, and you can right-click the button for options to pause or cancel the download.
Install the Download Status Bar and every download generates a new button on the status bar, so it's visible whatever tab you happen to be using.
When you're downloading several large files then it can be annoying to keep switching to the download window to see how they're progressing. It can take a little while to set this extension up to suit your requirements, though, so it pays to spend a few minutes reading the documentation at before you start.
Fortunately Adblock Plus will block just about everything, saving you time and ensuring you only download the content you need. Porn sites used to be renowned for bombarding you with popups and banner ads, but now it's common practice just about everywhere.
The service imports your existing bookmarks so it's easy to get started, and you can then access them from any convenient PC. Use StartAid and you can save your favourite sites online, instead.
If others make use of your PC occasionally then you might not want them to see your more, hmm, specialist bookmarks. It can download videos, too, but if that's your main interest then we'd recommend a more specialist tool like Video DownloadHelper. Drag and drop video links into the playlist and you can play them in your sidebar, without having to revisit the original site each time. Videos? That's more of a challenge, but YouPlayer can help, at least with the big sites (YouTube, Google Video, MySpace and Metacafe). Just select the thumbnails you want to view, right-click an empty part of the page, and click Linky > Open All Image Links In Tabs to open them automatically. You could do the right-click "open link in new tab" thing for every thumbnail, but it's much easier to use Linky. Sometimes your image searches will lead you to forums or websites with large thumbnail galleries.
