Web browsers do not come with options to quickly jot down notes to access them at a later time again. This feature can be added to some browsers by installing extensions while others only have the option to use online note taking applications instead.
Chrome Cuts is a basic note taking application for the Google Chrome browser. It adds the typical icon in the main toolbar after installation which offers access to the extension’s features.
Notes are accessed by left-clicking the icon int the toolbar. Each note is made up of a label and the actual note. The order of notes can be changed at anytime and it is furthermore possible to hide or delete specific notes as well as edit them if needed.
It takes two clicks to add a new note. The text of existing notes can be copied and pasted as usual which means the extension can also be used to store often used phrases or data.
An experimental synchronization feature has been added recently by the developer. It uses chrome’s sync functionality to share notes between multiple computer systems.
The width of the popup window containing the notes as well as its color can be changed in the extension’s options.
Chrome Cuts is a helpful extension for the Google Chrome browser. It misses keyboard shortcuts to optimize the workflow of copying and pasting notes as well as options to copy and paste notes from the right-click menu.
The extension is available at Google’s Chrome extensions gallery.
Update: The extension is no longer available. Alternatives are Quick Note and Notes.

Next timevm do your homework. Opera has had notes for years. Also its not really news worthy every time Google adds a missing feature to its cheezy browser.
What a cool app. I had never heard of chrome cuts.
Thanks for sharing about it.
I’m the developer of this, thanks very much for the article. I’ll definitely take up your suggestion and look into adding keyboard shortcuts.
@Bill, your right about Opera, I made this to fill in a void that Chrome had compared to such browsers.
The extension serves a purpose and makes it’s feature optional, most people like options. Congrats to it’s developer and the persons who make this site a great source of information.
I think it’s awesome when people pointlessly criticize and use unsubstantiated cuts on something (cheezy is really the best you had?). Love a hit and run. Next time you’re going to try to be insulting and sarcastic, “try” spell check and a peek at grammar first.
