Browser Optimization: Setting Up Your Work Environment

Browsers are powerful tools that we all use in our day to day life for work and play. Extensions offer an even more customized experience and setup. While extensions are great and totally necessary, there are times that there can be conflicts between extensions and programs that can result in an unexpected behavior.

If you are noticing unexpected results or want to setup your environment better, below are some setup tips to accomplish that. (You do NOT have to uninstall anything)

 

  1. Temporarily disable any other extension you have installed. With this step, we recommend temporarily disabling any other extensions and reattempt your crosspost/import to ensure that a conflict with other extensions was not causing the issue.

    1. Click the 3 dots at the top right of Chrome / Edge →  Choose “more tools” →  Extensions
    2. Click the toggle to turn off any other installed extension
    3. Clear your cache and cookies by selecting the 3 dots at the top right → choose more tools → clear browsing data → clear cache and cookies for all time. Please note this will log you out of all sites. Once done resume crossposting and utilizing LP.
  2. Create multiple Google Chrome profiles .Creating different Chrome profiles lets you switch between one account and your other Google accounts, without signing out each time. This will ensure that the extensions you are using on your main profile, will not conflict with the extensions you have your newly created Google Chrome profile. Please note for this to work successfully, turn off any “Sync” setting between the profiles to avoid sharing extensions and settings across multiple profiles.


  3. Add the LP extension to Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome (whichever browser you are not currently working on). For example, if you normally use Google Chrome, please add the LP extension to Microsoft Edge. LP can be installed on Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge and will work exactly the same. We suggest using a browser exclusive to use for business, use LP, access marketplaces, etc and use another for recreation or other tasks needed for your business.
