Top 8 must have add-ons for Internet Explorer
If you are one of those users whо use Internet Explorer as their default browser, this guide is perfect for you. If you don't think that the basic features of this browser are enough, you can always install add-ons to enhance its operation. Unfortunately, the list of add-ons for Internet Explorer is not very impressive and it's getting shorter with time. However, there are still some useful add-ons you can use to improve your web browsing experience, so we decided to put together a list with them. Here are the best add-ons for Internet Explorer:
1. LastPass
If you didn't know about LastPass already, you should definitely learn more about this cross-platform service. It can be used to store and synchronize your passwords securely across all web browsers and platforms, plus it can generate random secure passwords. Get the add-on, create a master password and let LastPass do the rest. Explore the LastPass vault and start filling it with your favorite websites. LastPass also allows you to securely share password and notes to family and friends. The feature we appreciate most is the Security Challenge which has the ability to assess your stored passwords and tell you how good you are in terms of secure passwords. It really opened our eyes and made us more cautious about using diverse and secure passwords, instead of the same 2-3 passwords on all websites. Forgetting your passwords is now a thing of the past. You can find a tutorial on how to use this extension to tighten the security of your passwords, here: Password Security - Turn Your Dumb Habits Into Geek Habits.

2. Adblock Plus
We think Adblock Plus is one of the most important add-ons you will ever need. If you are annoyed by those annoying 30 seconds YouTube ads, Facebook ads, flashy banners, overlay ads and so on, this add-on is a must. Adblock Plus also gives you the option to set exceptions and get control over when and how ads are blocked. If you install this extension, we kindly ask you to whitelist our website. As you can see for yourself, we try not to overload our website with ads and make a living from our work without annoying readers.

At the same time you can edit the content you are going to save, by highlighting pieces of text, adding text, stamps and so on. This can be very useful for study, business, planning and so on. Your notes will be synced across platforms and you have the ability to share them with your friends. To learn more about Evernote and all its features, check the official Evernote website.

Speckie also allows you to install multiple dictionaries and change the way spelling errors are displayed. Make sure your posts are written correctly and don't embarrass yourself among your online friends. 🙂

Conclusion
