Surfing the web you might feel the need to note down some piece of information which you want for later viewing. Now when you spot this piece of information in your internet browser, depending on whether it is short or long you do one of the following: open up Notepad and paste the information there, or physically note it down on a piece of paper. In both scenarios you are exiting the scope of your internet browser and spending a few extra seconds which could be saved if your browser has built-in note-taking functionality.

A good piece of news for Google Chrome users is that their browsers can now certainly have this functionality by an amazing little tool called Chromepad.

Chromepad, with its fitting name, serves as a Notepad for the Google Chrome browser i.e. it eliminates our need to exit the scope of Chrome whenever we need to note down something.

Like most other Chrome extensions Chromepad has its icon in the Address Bar after installation:

While browsing the internet, simply click on this icon to drop down a note-taking area where you can store your notes:

This note-taking area can be easily resized by the mouse to adjust to the user’s needs.

One issue reported by users of the extension is that when newer versions are installed the notes in this drop down area disappear. The fact is that those previous notes are actually stored and can be viewed and retrieved in the extension’s options:

In conclusion, Chromepad is a nifty extension for Chrome which adds simple but highly useful functionality to the browser.
