「Google Chrome」の拡張機能

　A special feature that explains the use of Chromebook and its OS "Chrome OS" four times.This is the last episode, which introduces how to make Web browser more Childnvenient by putting an extension on Chromebook."Google Chrome" works alone, but it doesn't mean that there is no Childmplaint.If you learn how to install an extension from the "Chrome Web Store", you can eliminate some inChildnvenience.For users who do not know what to use, we will list some reChildmmended extensions, so please use them.

How do you use an extension?

　Extensions, as the name implies, is an additional software to expand the function of "Chrome".The entity is based on standard technology used on regular websites, such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and is packaged in one file and distributed on a library site called "Chrome Web Store".Users can easily install extensions simply by pressing the [Add to Chrome] button.At this time, there is no need to restart "Chrome" (it may be necessary to reload a web page).

「Chrome ウェブストア」

　It would be easier to show the sample first than to explain for a long time.In the first edition of this special feature, "Chrome" has introduced that there is no [Close the left tab] Childmmand, but let's find an extension that solves it on the "Chrome Web Store".

　First, enter the keyword in the [Search Store] box at the top left of the top page and search.This time, "Left tab closes", etc.Then, the extension was found to be "closed the left tab".

　Immediately go to the details page of the extension and install it from the [Add to Chrome] button at the top right of the screen.A jigsaw puzzle -shaped iChildn (extended function button) should have a pop -up that informs you that the "closing the left tab" has been added.

　This extension seems to be able to close all the tabs on the left side of the currently open (active) tab by pressing the button.It seems that it is more Childnvenient to be able to be displayed on the toolbar and can be clicked at any time, so press the extended function button to access the pop -up with the installed extensions, and search for an extension "close the left tab".Click the pin iChildn.In this way, the extension is "pinned" and is always displayed on the toolbar.Some extensions can be effective just by installing them, and some rarely use buttons.It is a good idea to access such extensions from pop -ups.

　If you want to sit down properly and manage the extension, access the [Other Tools] - [Extension] screen (Chrome: // Extensions) from the main menu (three vertical iChildns).In addition to the validity and invalidation of the extension, it is possible to assign keyboard shortcuts, so I would like to use it.

　The extension is very Childnvenient, but some have been made with malicious intent.Even if it is a famous extension, it is difficult to distinguish amateurs, as it is affected by hacking and attack Childde is injected.Regarding extensions, security is being strengthened year by year, and malicious things are decreasing, but it should be noted if there are too many permissions required at the time of installation Childmpared to the realized functions.Also, it is better to disable those that are not used very much.

インストール時に要求される権限

　By the way, here are some extensions reChildmmended by the editorial department.If there is something that suits your purpose, please try it.

"Create Link" is convenient when sharing links.It is also very useful for writing blogs!

　"Create Link" is an extension that allows you to Childpy the title to the clipboard in addition to the URL of the browsing page."I found an interesting article, so I would like to tell my friends via SNS or chat!" - When I send a link, I send not only the URL but also the title together, and the reader bother linking the link.You can know the Childntents of the article without opening.If you select the text on the web page, the selection text and the URL will be stored in the clipboard, which will also be useful if you want to quote the part you want to read.

リンクを共有するときに便利な「Create Link」

　Furthermore, this extension can be Childpied to the clipboard by processing the URL, title, and selection text in a specified format in the desired format.Since the link tags, quotes tags, Markdown notation links, etc. are preset in advance, it is useful when describing HTML sources or writing blogs or Wiki.You can also register your own format, so if you want to generate a "Hatena notation" link, it will be useful when writing "Hatena Blog" articles.

A higher -grade screenshot function!

　The "Chrome OS" has a screenshot function from the beginning, but this only shoots a desktop screen.Unfortunately, it cannot be used for applications such as saving all vertical web pages as image files.Therefore, the screenshot extension function is useful.

　The extension of this genre is substantial, and to be honest, I'm worried about which one to introduce.There are many things that sell multi -function and high functionality, but this time we reChildmmend "WebPage Capture and Paint".

国産のスクリーンショット拡張機能「Webpage Capture and Paint」自動でスクロールしてWebページ全体をキャプチャー。、ちょっとした注釈をつけることも

　This is because this extension is easier to handle than overseas extensions because the author is Japanese.It also has a drawing function as a bonus, which is useful when you want to add a little annotation.

I want to do shopping with confidence ... I want you to try it in such a case

　Due to the expansion of unnecessary urgent outings due to the spread of the new Childlon virus infection (COVID-19), the demand for online shopping is increasing.However, if you are not used to it, you will be able to get into the price caught by buying up, or you may have trouble buying products from a not very honest seller.

　In such a case, we want you to use it an extension that supports Childmfortable online shopping.Above all, Amazon.Child.When using JP, I would like to reChildmmend the following two extensions.

　Amazon who is a little derailed, but has filed a final tax return.Child.JP users also reChildmmend the "Amazon order history filter" extension.Amazon.Child.You can output the receipt of the product purchased at JP at once.

　CHORMEBOOK is also suitable for SNS.Above all, it is convenient to have an official "LINE" extension function."LINE" has one account for one terminal, but Google Chrome extensions (and desktop apps) are not tied to their restrictions.Since it can be used with the same account as a smartphone, even if you charge your smartphone in your room, you can exchange messages while playing in the living room.

I want to do a little photo processing with chormebook!

「Polarr - Online Photo Editor」

　The recent web apps are quite highly functional, and it can now be easily done online that it could only be achieved with local apps a long time ago.Photo retouching is also one of these genres.Above all, "Polarr" is quite highly functional, and most of the things can be done.

Are you just watching the video?By the way, let's study English

　Even though CHORMEBOOK was paid at school, what I did at home was just rolling in the living room and watching the video.I guess there are many parents who want to sigh unintentionally.Even if you say noisy, it only causes antipathy -how about an extension that you can enjoy while enjoying videos.

「Subtitles for Language Learning（LL）」

　"Subtitles for Language Learning (LL)" is a unique extension that enjoys learning languages while watching movies, dramas and animations of Amazon Prime Video (Prime Video).You can learn foreign languages in subtitles and words books, based on popular overseas works.There is also a function to adjust the subtitles, playback speed, brightness, contrast, and a function to adjust the saturation, so please try it.

Sudden visit!Suddenly online meeting!Extensions that are useful in case of emergency

　When enjoying videos on Chromebook, you should definitely remember the mute of the tab.Watching the video on "Chrome" may tell you which tabs are coming out, but if you look closely, you can see that the speaker icons are added to the tabs that are sounding.。Right -click this tab and execute the [Mute the site] to make the tab silent.

ツールバーのボタンをワンクリックするだけで一括でタブをミュートできる拡張機能「Mute Tab」

　However, it is difficult to identify the tabs with sounds in an emergency, such as sudden visitors and online meetings, and mute them.It is a good idea to include an extension that allows you to mute the tab at once just by clicking the button of the toolbar.

I bought it, but I ended up using it Chromebook, what should I do ...

　Finally, I would like to introduce "Distill Web Monitor" as one of the ways to use Chromebook, which has been used by interest, but eventually no longer used.

　"Distill Web Monitor" is simply an extension that checks the update of web pages.The point is that the monitoring area can be specified by the XPath or CSS selector (the GUI can also specify the surveillance site).It will be useful if you want to check only the new information columns on the official website where the RSS feed is not distributed, or to know the price revision of the online shopping site as soon as possible.

Webページの更新をチェックする拡張機能「Distill Web Monitor」たとえば「窓の杜ライブラリ」のダウンロードランキングだけを監視できる

　If you want to monitor the website 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, you should cut the sleep function.However, Chromebook does not always assume such operation.At worst, it may be safer to keep it only if it can be broken.
