Today, in this article, let's learn something new, like how to convert Chrome into a notepad, write important notes in it, and save it. We'll learn three simple and effective ways to do this.
So, let's see and learn three tricks, one by one.
1. Use this code snippet.
To transform any browser tab, whether it's Chrome, Brave, or Firefox, into a Notepad, just copy the below line and paste it into your browser's search bar, hit Enter, and voila🎉!

To save what you've written in your browser, press CTRL + S, choose a location, and click save. The saved content will be downloaded as an HTML file and can be accessed offline.
2. Use the notepad Extension
To use the second trick, you'll need to install a Chrome extension called "Notepad." You can add this extension to your browser by clicking on the provided link, and then clicking the "Add to Chrome" button. Once added, you'll be able to use the Notepad extension directly in your Chrome browser.
You don't need to open a new tab to use the Notepad extension. Simply click on the extension icon while you're on any open tab, then select "Notepad" from the dropdown menu. This will open the Notepad extension, allowing you to take notes without switching tabs.
To save a note using the Notepad extension, press CTRL + S. By default, this will download the file as HTML. If you prefer to download it as plain text, simply click on the three dots in the top right corner of the Notepad extension, then select "Download as plain text."
3. Litewrite
In the third way, you can write notes without an internet connection; for this, you need to use Litewrite.net. Simply type Litewrite.net in your browser's search bar to convert it to a notepad.
