Five Great Free Business Apps for Google Chrome

27.12.2010

Falling under the "devastatingly useful but simple" category, Read Later Fast does exactly what its name suggests: one the app is installed, if you visit a page in Chrome that you want to save to read later, just right click in a blank spot and select the Read Later link in the menu.

The page will then be added to the Read Later Fast inbox, where it can be read even if the computer is offline--ideal if your laptop has spotty connectivity, or you're about to jump on a plane for a long journey.

Read Later Fast can also be used to archive pages, which has a whole range of uses, especially bearing in mind pages tend to disappear remarkably quickly on the modern Internet.

One particularly nice feature is the Text View button, which intelligently presents only the core body text and images from the stored web page, stripping out everything else, such as advertising sidebars.
