Gmail is an incredible product. With over one billion users, it’s the most used web based email client in the world. Being a web based email client, anyone can improve it by building a chrome extension.
There are thousands of those extensions for Gmail, ranging from simple additional features to fully fledged CRMs.
In this article, I will share the five best Chrome extensions that you absolutely need to be using if you love Gmail!
Vocal - Send voice messages per Gmail
Your voice message is then attached as an .mp3 file and your correspondent can listen to your message straight from his or her email client.
