Why use browser add ons?
Usage of add-ons The majority of internet users do not use more than a few add ons. Those who do not use any add-ons at all are not experiencing the full capability of their browser. Browsers that have add-ons are able to do things that other browsers cannot do. For example, one add- on can be blocks ads. So, anyone who is browsing the internet using that add-on will not need to deal with annoying pop-ups and on screen advertisements.
