Extension
Definition
Software that adds features to a browser or application.
In Plain English
Extensions are like reading glasses—they enhance how you see and interact with existing content.
Real-World Example
Browser extensions like ad blockers, password managers, and screenshot tools enhance your browsing experience.
Why It Matters for Your Work
Extensions can dramatically improve productivity, but they also have access to your browsing data.
Common Mistake
Installing extensions without checking permissions. Some extensions request excessive access to your data.
