Information on Browser Extensions and Add-ons

A Browser Extension or Add-on are programs that can be installed into a web browser that extend the functionality of the browser. For the most part, extensions and add-ons are beneficial to a browser as they can be used to increase the the browser's performance and add additional, and in many times needed, functionality. This could include optimizing the browser's memory so it runs better, blocking ads, or saving open tabs to be used later.
