Best Addons of Anki

 1) Review while editing ADDON

385888438

You wont need to press the E button again and again to open a new window to edit a card. Simply press the CTRL+ Click button on the respective field and the editing option toggles on. Can paste images, can make texts underlined, italics etc. Eventually, you save a lot of time. Quite helpful for decks like NovelPea which has a lot of information on the backside of the cards and require heavy editing.

Cons:
If you paste any text from outside, the text loses its formatting. This is the only con I have found until now.

2) Review lookup addon

364219370

No need to open the Browse menu again and again to search for a particular card. While reviewing any card, if you feel the need to search for some information from other card and add that to your current card, just click on the selected text, right click and search. A pop up menu that has options to zoom and modify your search text also helps a lot. Has some other helpful options too.

Cons:

If you search for multiple words like "Multiple myeloma", it will give you all cards containing words 'Multiple' or 'Myeloma' or 'Multiple Myeloma'. This results in enlisting of a lot of useless cards irrelevant to your search query. I am yet to find a solution for this.

3) Batch editing Addon:

291119185

Hands down one of the best Addons for adding images, or texts to a selected number of cards at a mass scale. Say you discover an excellent image of the lesions involved in Kaposi Sarcoma, and you wish to add that image to all such cards containing 'Kaposi Sarcoma'. Simply search in browse, select all the cards you wish to modify, press Alt + B and add the image you wish to add.

Cons:

The formatting is lost if you paste a text into it. For example, if you copy a sentence in which some of the sentences are bold and others are italics, the batch addon will simply add plain text instead of your formatted text.

You cant paste multiple images at once, if you have them in your clipboard. Note that, however, you can add multiple images and text at once to the selected cards using this Addon.

Please let me know if you find any other useful addons that particularly would help in editing cards faster and more effective!

4) Freshness addon

https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1369362778

Add-on to randomize specific CSS styles for each card to add some freshness to your study and possibly prevent you from memorizing the "shape" of a question and answering based on that instead of memorizing the actual content.
