10 Chrome Extensions Every X Power User Needs in 2026 (The Growth Stack)
I have a confession to make.
When I first started taking X (formerly Twitter) seriously, I was a "tool collector."
I installed every extension that promised to explode my growth. My browser bar looked like a Christmas tree of icons. I had auto-dms, mass-unfollowers, thread-savers, and analytic dashboards that looked like the cockpit of a 747.
And do you know what happened to my growth?
Nothing.
Because tools don't grow accounts. Workflows do.
A tool is only as valuable as the friction it removes from a specific action. If an extension doesn't save you time or improve your output quality in the moment you need it, it's just digital clutter.
Over the last year, I’ve ruthlessly audited my tech stack. I uninstalled 90% of the junk and kept only the elite few that actually move the needle.
Today, I’m not just going to give you a list of 10 random extensions. I’m going to show you my Growth Stack-the specific combination of tools I use to write better content, engage faster, and manage my network without losing my mind.
If you’re serious about building an audience in 2026, these are the only 10 extensions you need.
The "Engagement Engine" (Tools 1-3)
Engagement is the currency of X. If you aren't replying, you aren't growing. But manual engagement is exhausting. These tools fix that.
1. ReachMore (The Force Multiplier)
What it is: An AI-powered engagement assistant that lives right inside your reply box.
Why it's essential: Let’s be real-replying to 50 tweets a day is a grind. You experience "reply fatigue" around comment #10, and by comment #20, you're just typing "Great post!" (which kills your reach).
I built ReachMore (formerly Json2Media) because I needed a way to maintain high-quality engagement without burning out. It’s not an auto-bot. It doesn't span generic replies. It analyzes the context of the tweet and suggests 3 distinct angles:
- Witty/Humorous: Perfect for viral threads where personality wins.
- Professional/Insightful: Ideal for networking with big accounts.
- Friendly/Supportive: Great for community building.
My Workflow: I use the "One-Click Draft" feature. I click a tone, see the suggestion, edit it to add my personal 20%, and hit send. It turns a 2-minute thinking process into a 10-second editing process.
The Result: I can drop 50 high-value replies in 30 minutes, whereas it used to take me 2 hours.
2. Twemex (The Sidebar Brain)
What it is: A sidebar that replaces the trending topics with a user's best tweets.
Why it's essential: When you land on a big account's profile, you usually see their pinned tweet (often an ad) and their most recent thoughts (often random noise). You have no idea what actually works for them.
Twemex changes the game. It shows you their All-Time Hits instantly in the sidebar.
My Workflow: Before I follow anyone, I check their "All-Time" best updates via Twemex.
- Do they consistently provide value?
- Or did they just get lucky once in 2021? I also use it for inspiration research. If I'm writing about "Productivity," I go to a productivity guru's profile, look at their top hits, and ask: "What angle did they take that resonated so much?"
3. BlackMagic (The CRM)
What it is: A Personal CRM overlay for X.
Why it's essential: You can't memorize every interaction you've had with 1,000 people. BlackMagic adds a "Profile Note" section to every user card.
My Workflow: When I have a good interaction with someone, I add a note. "John - works at Strupe, loves spicy food." The next time John posts, I don't just say "Cool tweet." I say, "Hey John, this reminds me of that spicy food debate we had..."
That level of personalization is how you convert followers into friends, and friends into partners.
The "Content Forge" (Tools 4-6)
Writing on the native Twitter interface is a nightmare. It’s distracting, glitchy, and bad for flow.
4. Typefully (The Writer's Studio)
What it is: A distraction-free editor and scheduler.
Why it's essential: I don't write tweets on X.com. I write in Typefully. The interface is clean, beautiful, and lets you visualize how a thread will look before you post it.
My Workflow: I do "Batch Writing Sundays." I sit down for 2 hours, open Typefully, and write all my threads for the week. Their "Vibe Check" AI is actually decent at spotting tone issues, but the real killer feature is the analytics. It tells me exactly when my audience is online.
5. Xilo (The Writer's Block Killer)
What it is: A sidebar overlay that helps you rewrite and improve your hooks.
Why it's essential: The hook (the first line of your tweet) is 80% of the battle. If the hook fails, the thread dies. Xilo helps you iterate on hooks by analyzing top-performing structures.
My Workflow: I write a draft hook. Then I ask Xilo, "Make this more punchy." It usually gives me a variation I hadn't thought of. It’s like having a copywriter looking over your shoulder.
6. Kleo (The Profile Optimizer)
What it is: A tool to preview and optimize your LinkedIn and X profiles.
Why it's essential: Your profile is your landing page. If your bio is confusing or your banner is ugly, you lose followers. Kleo lets you see what your content looks like on the timeline before you post it, and helps you audit your profile assets.
The "System & Cleanup" (Tools 7-10)
These tools keep your browser/brain usage efficient.
7. Tweethunter X (The Competitor Spy)
What it is: Shows viral tweets related to the one you are viewing.
Why it's essential: When I see a tweet blowing up, I want to know why. Is this a trend? Tweethunter X shows me similar viral tweets. It helps me spot meta-trends before they die.
8. Command+K (The Navigation)
What it is: Adds a "Spotlight Search" bar to X.
Why it's essential:
Stop clicking menus. With this extension, I hit Cmd+K and type "Messages" or "Analytics" to jump straight there. It saves milliseconds, but those add up when you live on the platform.
9. OneTab (The Memory Saver)
What it is: Collapses all open tabs into a single list.
Why it's essential: Researching a thread usually leads to 30 open tabs. Chrome eats RAM like a hungry hippo. OneTab saves the session so I can close the browser without losing my research.
10. Minimal Twitter (The Focus Mode)
What it is: CSS injection that hides the "Trends", "Who to Follow", and other distracting sidebars.
Why it's essential: X is engineered to distract you. You log in to write a thread, see a trending topic about a celebrity scandal, and 20 minutes later you realize you haven't written a word. Minimal Twitter removes the noise.
The Perfect Daily Workflow
Here is how I combine these tools into a 30-minute power session:
- 09:00 AM: Open X (cleaned by Minimal Twitter).
- 09:05 AM: Open Typefully to check my scheduled post for the day. refined by Xilo.
- 09:10 AM: Hit
Cmd+K-> "Lists". Open my "Key Creator" list. - 09:15 AM - 09:30 AM: Engage.
- I see a post by a big account.
- Quick glance at Twemex to see their best hits (context).
- Check BlackMagic to see our history (relationship).
- Use ReachMore to generate a "Witty" draft reply.
- Edit and send.
- 09:30 AM: Close tab via OneTab and get back to work.
Conclusion
Tools are levers. They amplify force, but they can't create it.
If your content is boring, Typefully won't save you. If you have nothing to say, ReachMore can't invent a personality for you.
Start with the fundamentals: Be helpful. Be consistent. Be authentic.
Then, use this stack to do it 10x faster.
