Thanks; these look great. I hadn't heard of Workona before... it looks supremely powerful, turning Chrome into a project management tool in itself, which is more poignant than ever, given how many web-based apps are used in various productivity scenarios.

11 essential Chrome extensions I always install on a new PC | PCWorld
October 3, 2025 - Listen, I do this for a living typing out thousands of words every single day and I still make use of smart extensions like Grammarly and ProWritingAid to make my writing that extra bit better. Even if you use ChatGPT or other AI to craft emails or longer-form content for you, having a writing assistant like these give it a once over is a real help. Both are better in their paid versions, but they work well enough in the free edition too. And you can even enjoy them outside of Chrome if you like.
