> Here's some more useful extensions/Alternatives that I use:
> 1. Dark Reader - Free alternative (No restrictions) to Dark Mode
> 2. VisBug - Allows visual editing of any element in page
> 3. Modern Scroll - Shows clickable page headings on hover.
> 4. ShareX - Not an extension but a great open source software for screenshot capture and editing.
