I only use a few:

- ZenHub (https://zenhub.io) – personal productivity and team collaboration / PM tool built into GitHub. Disclosure: my company is the major investor in ZenHub;

- Pocket (https://getpocket.com) - bookmarking tool;

- Bugherd (https://bugherd.com) - because I was helping point out issues on a friend's website yesterday;

- Terrorists to Coward (https://www.producthunt.com/tech/terrorists-to-cowards) - quick hackathon project two of my team members did;

- Google Docs/Sheets/Slides and Docs offline;

- Wandertab (http://www.hitlistapp.com/wandertab/) - shows you a flight deal every time you open a new tab!

I currently use

- The Great Suspender: reduces memory footprint by purging tabs least used

- Bishop: Vulnerability checker

- Fetch: advanced web history search

- Hacker Vision: inverts some webpage colors to reduce eye strain

- UBlock Origin: efficient Adblocker

Pocket looked great until I looked at the permissions it wants on Android. Wi-Fi details? Contacts? Seriously?
