MIT IT RECRUITMENT says
These are all great extensions, some of which I use myself. There is also another great extension that you can use to search contact on your social media sites which is called Contaxio. This way you can easily search your contacts on any social media platform. But be careful when picking your extensions, some extensions cause Chrome to open up and load slower. Thanks for the post!
