9 Browser Tips to Save Time (Plus an Epic Lightning Round!) (TPS421)


Listen Later

Your Browser is your most important productivity tool. We share some of our favorite shortcuts, plugins, extensions, and ways you can be a productivity ninja with your browser on Windows, Mac, iOS, or Android.

We usually think of the tools we use IN our browser – the web apps and websites – but not so much about how to best use the web browser itself.

But since we can spend HOURS a day in our browser, there are big productivity gains you can make by using some browser hacks to make things faster and easier. Like we always say: “small changes lead to big results!”
