As a Mac user, I can use Parallels Desktop to run Windows without having to reboot my system. It works on both Macs with Apple M-series chips and those with Intel processors. The installation assistant makes it easy for me to set up and get started within minutes. I can run many Windows applications, including games and CAD programs, on my Mac using Parallels Desktop. I can also share Mac folders with Windows, drag and drop text or graphics between macOS and Windows apps.

G App Launcher

G App Launcher as an extension for my web browser, I can customise the app launcher and add over 1000 Google shortcuts, along with the ability to create custom shortcuts for any website I desire. To access the settings page, I just need to click on the “Configure” button in the app launcher. Once there, I can easily select which shortcuts I want to appear in the app launcher by dragging and dropping them, and I can also add or remove all shortcuts through the two buttons below the list. The search box on the settings page that lets me filter through the massive list of Google shortcuts, and the “Sort A-Z” button makes it even easier to organise my selection. If I don’t see the shortcut I need in the list, I can suggest a new Google shortcut by clicking on the “Suggest a new Google Shortcut” button, and if I need to add a shortcut for a non-Google website, I can simply click on the red “add custom shortcut” button.

AdBlock for Safari

AdBlock is a powerful tool that I have downloaded on my Mac to block annoying ads while browsing the internet. It has been downloaded by over 350 million people worldwide which shows how effective it is. With AdBlock for Safari, I can easily block annoying pop-ups, autoplay video ads, and obnoxious audio ads that distract me from reading the content I want to see. AdBlock also provides me with the control to choose which ads I want to see and which websites I want to support. I can pause AdBlock if a website prompts me to turn it off, or allow non-intrusive ads like Google search ads that help me find what I am looking for. Additionally, AdBlock can speed up my browsing by filtering out unwanted content with Apple’s powerful Content Blocking API. One of the most significant advantages of using AdBlock is its ability to protect me from malware lurking inside ads on malicious websites. It is easy to install and free to use, and I can easily access a comprehensive library of customer support information to help me get the most out of my AdBlock app.

Notion Web Clipper

Notion is my tool for everything from taking notes to managing projects. It’s an all-in-one workspace that allows me to write, plan, collaborate, and stay organized. With Notion Web Clipper, I can save any webpage I come across on the internet to my Notion workspace with just one click. When I stumble upon something I want to keep, I simply hit the Notion button on the top right of my browser, and the webpage is saved to my Notion workspace. This feature is incredibly helpful because it allows me to capture and organize all the articles, research, and inspiration I come across on the web. What I like about the Notion Web Clipper is that I can choose exactly where I want to save my web pages. For example, I can add research to projects, articles to reading lists, or anything else that I find useful. Notion makes it easy to turn these saved web pages into actionable items that I can use to stay productive and get things done. Another great thing about Notion Web Clipper is that I can read the pages I clip on any device. This means that I can save articles, research, and inspiration on my computer and access them later on my phone or tablet.

Grammarly: Writing App

Grammarly for Safari is a helpful tool that offers real-time suggestions to improve my writing as I work online. It goes beyond just checking for spelling and grammar mistakes and helps me communicate my ideas with ease. The software analyzes my writing and highlights areas where I can improve my sentence structure, word choice, and writing style. I can quickly apply the suggestions with just one click or expand on them to learn more about how to improve my writing. Grammarly’s advanced spelling and grammar checker is more comprehensive than the built-in tools of word processors, and it even detects commonly confused words and complex grammar issues. With Grammarly, I can streamline my writing and ensure that I come across the way I intend. It’s a valuable tool for anyone who wants to write with confidence and clarity.

In conclusion, Safari Extensions is a useful tool that has improved my user experience. You can find them all in the App Store, as well as other extensions. Hope this was helpful for you. Thanks for reading!
