Add-ons

January 29, 2023

An add-on, a plugin or extension, is a software component that adds a specific feature or functionality to an existing program or application. Add-ons are commonly used to customize and extend the capabilities of web browsers, text editors, email clients, and other software programs.

Web Browser Add-ons: These are software components that add specific features or functionality to web browsers, such as ad blockers, password managers, and security tools. They can be downloaded and installed directly from the browser’s official store.

Text Editor Add-ons: These are software components that add specific features or functionality to text editors, such as code highlighting, auto-completion, and debugging tools. They can be downloaded and installed directly from the text editor’s official store.

Email Client Add-ons: These are software components that add specific features or functionality to email clients, such as spell checkers, scheduling tools, and security features. They can be downloaded and installed directly from the email client’s official store.

Add-ons are convenient tools for users and developers as they allow them to extend the capabilities of their software programs without the need for complex coding or programming. They also add specific functionality to software not available in the core version.
