What sort of SEO Chrome extensions are you guys using on a daily basis?
I prefer SEOquake, Moz Bar, Nofollow and QuickSEO by ranksignals. Really great extensions, I can figure out the SEO strength of a website in seconds.

But still, I would like to have even more helpful tools, so care to share!
By the way, any of you still using Firefox?

I’ve put together a list of 16 browser extensions I consider to be the best. I encourage you to give a few of them a try.

1. Mozbar - Similar to how Ahrefs has their SEO toolbar, Moz has the MozBar. Without having a Moz subscription, you’ll be able to get some helpful data about each site you visit. MozBar will give you access to Moz’s metrics, PageAuthority, DomainAuthority and Spam Score. You’ll also get page-level share counts.
2. Ahrefs SEO Toolbar - Ahrefs is one of our favorite tools for both backlink data and content research, but it also has a very helpful SEO toolbar.
3. Majestic SEO Toolbar - We use Majestic a lot for accessing backlink data, like Moz and Ahrefs it has a helpful Chrome Extension.
4. SEO & Website Analysis by WooRank - This extension can give you a good snapshot of elements to improve on your website.
5. Check My Links - If you ever do broken link building, you need this extension
6. Domain Hunter Plus - This extension can also be used to identify broken links. However, it was made for a very specific purpose: to find expired domains that already have backlinks and authority.
7. SEO Quake
8. NoFollow - NoFollow firmly detects and outlines no-follow tags and no-index meta-tags on webpages. You may not need this plugin as most of the SEO plugins highlight no-follow links. However, this is my personal choice.
9. Buffer - Buffer is an amazing tool for scheduling social media sharing. You can set it to share a certain number of posts per day at specific times automatically.
10. Pocket - In a field such as SEO, you always have to stay up-to-date if you want to be seen as competent. That means you have to read a ton of content on a regular basis.
11. Evernote Web Clipper - Evernote is primarily a note-taking software, but it has since become well known for its image editing software Skitch. Skitch lets you quickly annotate images, and it’s a tool I often use to annotate images for blog posts.
12. Bit.ly - A big part of your job as an SEO revolves around links. Bit.ly is arguably the most popular link shortener service. It lets you shorten URLs quickly, and it even lets you track stats such as the number of clicks a link got.
13. LastPass - How many accounts do you have on different websites? For most SEOs, it’s a ridiculous number. Instead of having messy and unsecured spreadsheets or text files of user names and passwords, you can use LastPass.
14. Ninja Outreach Lite - Ninja Outreach is a blogger outreach tool that is still fairly new to the market but has been progressing fast thanks to rolling out new updates frequently.
15. Link Grabber - Using Link Grabber, you can easily extract all of the links from any page on the web. Links appear in a new tab as a list and can then be copied, and pasted into a spreadsheet or another tool.
16. Grammarly - Grammarly's free writing app makes sure everything you type is easy to read, effective, and mistake-free. Adding Grammarly to Chrome means that your spelling and grammar will be vetted on Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Tumblr, and nearly everywhere else you write on the web.
