Do you know that opening multiple tabs will consume a lot of memory and make the pc slow? If you are bound to open multiple tabs at the same time because of your work then you can use the OneTab extension in Google Chrome which gives you one button to turn them into a quick list.

Ugly Email
Sometimes we receive emails from senders who use tools like pixel tracking, what they actually do is embed a tiny invisible image inside an email just to check whether their mail has been read by the recipient or not. This is not an appropriate thing that should be done with anyone.
This is where Ugly Email comes into play. It will quickly go through all your mails and look for those pixels and block them right away. It also shows an eye icon for each mail so you have an idea that who is trying to check whether you looked at their mails.
