Mac Users Have Been MISSING OUT!

**Discovering New Tools and Features to Enhance Your Digital Experience**

In this video, I'm excited to share with you some new tools and features that I've recently discovered and can't wait to try out. From social media platforms to research tools and anti-spam services, I'll be covering them all.

**FaceTime Alternative: Weeboo**

One of the first things I wanted to check out was a tool called Weeboo, which is a research tool that allows you to highlight and annotate articles, PDFs, and websites. As someone who makes content and needs to do a lot of research for it, I'm always on the lookout for new ways to streamline my workflow. Weeboo's Chrome extension is incredibly easy to use - simply install it, click on an article or website you want to highlight, and start annotating away. The best part? You can use multiple colors and add notes directly within the app, making it a game-changer for researchers and content creators alike.

**Weeboo's Features**

What I love about Weeboo is its flexibility and customization options. With the ability to create folders of highlighted content, it's easy to organize my research and notes in a way that makes sense to me. The app also allows you to save your highlights to a dashboard, where you can view them all at once and easily jump between different articles or websites. Additionally, Weeboo's annotation feature is incredibly powerful, allowing you to add notes, tags, and even audio comments directly within the app.

**Throttle: A Service for Spam-Free Email**

Next up, I wanted to check out a service called Throttle, which aims to help prevent spam email by giving users control over who can contact them. With its Chrome extension, Throttle adds a simple button to signing up forms on websites, allowing you to provide a one-time email address that you can revoke at any time. This means that anyone trying to contact you through the service will be blocked until you explicitly allow it again.

**The Benefits of Throttle**

For those who value their online security and don't want to deal with unwanted emails, Throttle is an incredibly useful tool. By giving users control over their inbox, it's easy to prevent spam and reduce the amount of clutter in your email account. Plus, with its simple Chrome extension, it's easy to install and use - even for those who aren't tech-savvy.

**Brave vs. Chrome vs. Safari: Share Your Thoughts**

Finally, I'd love to hear from you! In my next video, I'll be discussing Brave vs. Chrome vs. Safari, and I want to know what you think about these browser options. Do you prefer one over the others? Have any tips or tricks for getting the most out of your favorite browser? Let me know in the comments below!

Every Monday through Friday at 11 a.m. Eastern, I'll be sharing the three things that matter from the world of Apple - an app suggestion, an accessory suggestion, and the Apple news headline you should care about.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis video is sponsored by dot US the web address for everyone with the dream idea or business made for the USA hey it's Chris today we're gonna do something a little bit different obviously changes scenery here what are we doing well we're gonna take a look at one of my all-time favorite Matt gaps and this is gonna be a game changer for some people I think cuz they've just written it off and everything that it can do and that app is chrome more specifically though chromium which is the underlying guts of what chrome itself runs on now chrome is Google's browser and as a Mac person who's super deep into the Mac ecosystem and the Apple ecosystem you would think that I would use Safari and trust me I would rather use Safari for stuff it's just that Safari has no extensions and chrome has a million extensions and a bunch of them I rely on for my business and for getting things done so today I want to talk to you about some of the ones that I use already and then also together discover a few new favorites which I think you guys are gonna like now look I get it Chrome it's a resource hog and it drains your battery and it doesn't have Safari or apples focus on privacy so what am I doing with Chrome well I have to have these extensions and so while I'm at it what I try to do is make my chromium experience as Apple like or Safari like as possible and how do I do that step number one is to download the brave browser which runs on chromium and it gives me a privacy first privacy focused web browsing experience and speeds things up compared to Chrome as well I so wish that I could do Chrome extensions on my iPad on my iPad pro specifically that's one of the main things still missing for me that's keeping me tethered to a Mac in some ways just keep finding little things and that's one of them so I'm gonna dive in here you guys are going to come with me the first thing we're gonna do is come over here and grab the brave browser why am I wearing air pods you asked it's simple I forgot to take a milk I was listening to my pre video shooting warm-up music playlist and they stayed in so they're here for the whole video brave drag it to applications now I have magnet installed and watch this I love this shortcut just control option and what enter return yep in full screen magnet is the best by the way let's let me switch over to Chrome here real quick so you can see I've got all of my favorites just the icons I delete the descriptions so I can fit more on my favorites bar and maybe this time you can try it you can use I find that much better alright so I got it load it up the first thing I'm gonna grab is one password cuz it's my password manager and that's crucial for your web browser oh look they have one just for brave here even though you probably could just run the chrome one well I'm just gonna grab the brave one then okay the second thing I'm gonna grab is bitly I can't make it without bitly because I often share a lot of links and I need them shortened although I quit paying for my own personalized short link because they wanted a ridiculous amount of money at extension and look I'm on the chrome app store here and already I can see that brave is blocking some stuff bitly 1password the next thing i'm gonna get is genius link now if you're a business person you do any kind of online business stuff genius link is gonna be crucial critical for sharing affiliate stuff of course if you're a youtuber or a content creator like me then a portion of your revenue probably comes from sharing affiliate links and then the last thing that I'm gonna grab before we dive in and start discovering some new Chrome extensions is reader mode because I miss that from Safari today's sponsor is dot us the official top-level domain of the United States it's the web address for everyone with a dream idea or business made for the USA personally I just snagged Tek ka US which will be turning into a place will you'll be able to see all the content that I've made recently in one convenient spot whether it's the latest video or the latest podcast episode or my other projects like Apple hype Tek kada us tech dot us that's really easy to tell people and they're not gonna forget it it's the perfect illustration of why dot us makes your domain name so great it's really memorable it's nice

businesses based inside and outside the USA so make your dream whatever it may be a reality and pick out your own dot us domain using the link in the description okay now with those out of the way that's my basic set up and it's time to dig into some new Chrome extensions and I found these earlier today and I can't wait to actually try them out this is so excited I get about just Chrome extensions right if you ever like depress or something you know you can come on this channel and see somebody excited about something even it's a small thing so the deal with Tobi is that it says it's better than bookmarks and this appeals to me because I don't like any of the bookmarking systems I've ever come across before but there's a lot of stuff that I want to save and organize okay so the reason this looks cool is because it's not just a row of tabs it's not just a row of favorites it's not just a list but you can group stuff and organize it better of course what would a bookmark manage be I don't know what this is exactly like so I'm gonna have to add it and Oh got a create account you have to invite friends unlock the dark theme hope this wasn't a mistake read the Terms of Service nope but I'll say that I did oh right that's probably terrible but who has a time privacy policy yes I read that too alright so here I am I can make collections now this is interesting it's showing me the tabs that I already have open and then I can save that session oh this is gonna be awesome so okay let's see how this goes apple hype comm because that's something that I added every day and then let's go to Squarespace also because then I would use square space to work with Apple hype let's open up Amazon product time I'm just throwing out some random stuff here that might be useful I'll see uncreate they got some cool stuff and I'm just I'm just throwing out some random stuff to try here okay I'm gonna save this session with everything that I've got open and saving a session will close all the tabs and create a collection of your currently open tabs this is super useful when you want to unclutter your browser okay save cool so then I could say open tabs and it will open them all oh this is cool I'm really liking this you know I needed something like this I have all these different projects that I work on and like web flows workflows on the web and yeah this is gonna save me a lot of time I think to just organize them all and and have them ready this is great this is kind of like was it what was it called one switch or workspace I think it's called workspaces the mac app it kind of lets you flip open different apps that you're gonna use for a certain project and then close them and then open other ones depending on what you're doing this is like that but for Chrome for your browser this is really cool all of my Apple sides and I should have some more cool oh and then as I drag them over it actually closed each tab and so that's very cool too now they're just ready to go okay this is a huge time-saver man so you could organize all kinds of stuff all right here's the next thing I want to check out it's called one tab not the coolest website I've ever seen but what this one is supposed to do is help you beat all of that bloated memory usage remember Jonathan's recent video with all the chrome tabs to beat that speed up your browsing by 95% by putting all of your open tabs into a list and then from there you can reopen them as needed all right so the next thing we have to do is open a bunch of tabs and see how this works and okay so we got a few look we add one two three or five so let's give this a try see what it does boom one tab it closed all the tabs and now I've got my tabs right here one tab doesn't take over your new tab so that's nice this is pretty cool you could load this up with a million things and just have them all for reference right here oh and then you can export your list that's pretty cool all right now here's one for everybody in quarantine right now it's called Netflix party and what it does is let you watch Netflix with your friends or your family right kind of stay connected so it's like you can't have people over but maybe you still want to hang out and so you can sync the movie up so that it plays or whatever the show at exactly the same time so you guys can actually experience and say at the same time even if you can't experience it in the same room so you install it then you open a video Netflix then you create your party and once you've created that party then you can share your party URL to whoever you want to invite to participate already I've thought to myself I don't know what I would be doing it without FaceTime right and staying connected with family and stuff but this kind of takes that to a whole another level because there's only so much you can talk about right or do with FaceTime but this is another way to do something with people without just having to talk you know and the cool thing is is that it it works right on Netflix so you don't have to install anything else crazy it's just go to Netflix like you normally would and party alright the next thing I want to check out is something called weeba weeba is a research tool and so I'm not like an academic person right at the moment I'm not in school not teaching a class or something so I'm not writing a thesis but I do make a lot of content and I do have to do a lot of research for that content the main way that I've been doing that for a long time they see you something like pocket or Instapaper switch out between the two every now and then the premium version is highlight and then do stuff with those highlights as I discover useful and interesting snippets of things so I found weave up and I think that it could help me take that to the next level and I'm excited to check it out there's actually a desktop app too but we're gonna check out the Chrome extension right now maybe I need to use both so you can highlight PDFs and websites what I like is that it looks like you can use a bunch of different colors and stuffs not just yellow and then to be able to annotate make notes that's something that you can do in its paper is not something that you can do in pocket and so maybe this is gonna be the best of all worlds we'll see this email is in use I think I have already signed up for this at some point all right better get a rescind all right so we've is installed I'm gonna check out this article on the verge about Apple redesigning the iPhone this year what's cool about this what I like is that you can come in here and just actually start highlighting the actual article you don't have to save it to something first you'll have to save it to weave up or to pocket or two inch paper this is really cool let's see let me just highlight a few things here in different colors so we can see what it looks like then you can click on it and you can add a note alright so then you can go back to the dashboard and see it see your highlights see the colors see the notes and then it shows you the actual webpage right next to it you can jump to things this is very cool and then you can create folders of stuff so absolutely I can see how this would be super beneficial if you're doing research for even just a project or something as huge and as big it's like an academic research paper alright the next thing I want to check out is called throttle and this is pretty cool this helps you prevent getting a lot of spam so or maybe any spam if you are just overrun with spam this is gonna be a really cool solution for you so this is a service to that has a Chrome extension and it gives you air tight control over who can email you and the cool thing is with the Chrome extension when you go to a website and there's a signup form this adds a button where you can provide a one-time email address okay but here's the cool thing like so you can revoke access to your inbox at any time just effectively cut them off anybody from then emailing you you can throttle them with this extension and service so this is pretty cool for privacy minded people or people who just want to cut down the spam alright I think that's gonna wrap it up for this video I found some great stuff today and I hope you guys did too let me know what's your favorite thing down below and let me know what you think of brave vs. chrome vs. Safari that's an interesting topic and I'd like to get you guys feedback don't forget you can check out Apple hype every day Monday through Friday at 11
