TL;DR: The best AI Chrome extensions ranked by real adoption are Grammarly (36,000,000 installs, quality score 95/100), Sider (5,000,000 installs, 91/100), and Monica (3,000,000 installs, 86/100). Across all 133 AI Chrome extensions we track, one holds 49.5% of installs, 86% are rated 4.0 or better, and the fastest-growing one removes AI rather than adding it.
Last updated: 7 August 2026. Data pulled: 7 August 2026, from each extension’s public Chrome Web Store listing. Extensions ranked: 133. Combined installs: 72,752,000.
Most “best AI Chrome extensions” lists are a writer’s shortlist with affiliate links attached. This is a measurement. Every figure below comes from the extensions’ own Chrome Web Store pages, scored on one published formula, and I re-pull the whole set rather than editing a number here and there.
I have tested more than 500 AI and SaaS tools with my own money over 15 years in software and SEO. The thing that keeps surprising me is how badly store ratings describe quality once you look at the distribution instead of individual listings. Chrome is the strongest example I have found. Read on for the full ranked directory, the formula, and the five things this data says that a hand-written roundup will not tell you.
The Numbers Worth Quoting
- 133 AI Chrome extensions tracked as of 7 August 2026, with 72,752,000 combined installs from 109 publishers.
- Grammarly alone holds 49.5% of all installs (36,000,000 of 72,752,000). The top ten hold 82.5%.
- Communication is 62.6% of installs from only 12 extensions. Tools has the most extensions (61) and just 23.9%.
- 88 of 133 extensions (66%) are rated 4.5 or higher, and 86% sit at 4.0 or above. The mean is 4.44 out of 5.
- 84 of 133 (63%) carry Chrome’s “Featured” badge, which makes it close to useless as a shortlist filter. Not one AI add-on on Firefox holds Mozilla’s equivalent.
- 45 of 133 (34%) sell an in-app upgrade, so 66% are genuinely free to use rather than free to install.
- Chrome rounds install counts, so across 23 days only 19 of 133 extensions changed at all, while review counts moved on 58.
- The fastest install growth belongs to Hide Google AI Overviews, up 100% from 100,000 to 200,000. Its purpose is hiding AI.
- Fifteen extensions have not shipped an update in over 12 months, the oldest since February 2023, while 72 shipped one in the last 30 days.
- 367,299 total reviews across the list, with 32 extensions above 1,000 reviews and Eight below 10.
Every figure is reproducible from the tables further down. The methodology and citation line is at the bottom.
What Counts as an AI Chrome Extension?
An AI Chrome extension is a browser extension from the Chrome Web Store that adds AI capability to Chrome, usually as a sidebar, a right-click action, or an overlay on the page you are already on. The common jobs are chat, writing and grammar, summarizing, meeting notes, and web automation.
Every extension in this report is explicitly AI-branded by its own publisher: the word AI, or a named model like GPT, Claude, or Gemini, appears in its store title or core pitch. This is a purpose-built AI dataset, not a general extension directory filtered down.
One deliberate inclusion is worth flagging, because it shapes the growth findings below. This report keeps extensions whose job is to remove AI, such as the ones that strip Google’s AI Overviews out of search results. They are AI-driven products in the sense that matters to a reader deciding what to install, and as it turns out they are among the fastest growing things in the entire category. Our AI Firefox add-ons report excludes that group, so the two lists answer slightly different questions on purpose.
The 10 Best AI Chrome Extensions Right Now
| Rank | AI Chrome extension | Category | Rating | Installs | Quality score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Grammarly: AI Writing Assistant and Grammar Checker App | Communication | 4.5/5 (43,100) | 36,000,000 | 95/100 |
| 2 | Sider: Chat with all AI: GPT-5, Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, Grok | Tools | 4.9/5 (114,000) | 5,000,000 | 91/100 |
| 3 | Monica: All-In-One AI Assist & Smartest AI Agent | Tools | 4.9/5 (32,200) | 3,000,000 | 86/100 |
| 4 | Quillbot: AI Writing Assistant to Grammar Check, Paraphrase & Translate | Communication | 4.7/5 (5,800) | 5,000,000 | 84/100 |
| 5 | DeepL: translate and write with AI | Communication | 4.7/5 (12,600) | 4,000,000 | 84/100 |
| 6 | AI Grammar Checker & Paraphraser - LanguageTool | Workflow & Planning | 4.7/5 (12,500) | 2,000,000 | 81/100 |
| 7 | Chat with all AI models (Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek…) & AI Agents | AITOPIA | Tools | 4.9/5 (28,300) | 900,000 | 81/100 |
| 8 | AI Chat for Search | Tools | 4.6/5 (4,000) | 2,000,000 | 78/100 |
| 9 | Merlin AI | Tools | 4.8/5 (8,800) | 900,000 | 78/100 |
| 10 | Tactiq: AI note taker for Google Meet, Zoom and MS Teams | Workflow & Planning | 4.8/5 (4,100) | 1,000,000 | 77/100 |
Three things stand out.
First, the drop-off is brutal but not as steep as the install numbers suggest. Rank one scores 95/100, rank five 84/100, rank ten 77/100. Because adoption is log-scaled, a well-reviewed extension with a fraction of the installs can still place near the top, which is exactly what Sider does with 114,000 reviews at 4.9/5.
Second, the top of this list is dominated by multi-model sidebars and writing tools. Nothing in the top ten is a niche utility. On Chrome the winners are general-purpose.
Third, review counts here are on a completely different scale from Firefox. Sider alone has 114,000 reviews, which is more than every AI Firefox add-on combined.
Here is what I would say about the twelve highest-ranked extensions I have used enough to have an opinion on. The full directory carries 28 of these notes.
Grammarly (rank 1) The category’s install-base leader by a wide margin (35M users) - the safe default pick if you only install one AI writing extension.
Sider (rank 2) Highest-rated of the multi-model sidebars at real scale (4.9 from 5M users) - the model-switching workflow is the whole pitch.
Monica (rank 3) One of the broadest feature sets in the sidebar category (chat, writing, image, search) at 4.9 from 3M users.
Quillbot (rank 4) Leans harder into paraphrasing than Grammarly does, with translation built in - worth the switch if rewording, not just correcting, is the main job.
DeepL (rank 5) Translation-first, not a chat wrapper - the pick if translation accuracy matters more than general-purpose AI chat.
AI Grammar Checker & Paraphraser (rank 6) Open-source-rooted grammar engine, a genuine third option next to Grammarly and QuillBot rather than a repackaging of either.
AI Chat for Search (rank 8) Adds an AI answer layer directly on top of search results rather than replacing the search box.
Merlin AI (rank 9) One of the earliest multi-model sidebar extensions to reach broad adoption; still holds a 4.8 rating at 900K users.
Tactiq (rank 10) The most-adopted meeting notetaker in this dataset (1M users, 4.8) - covers all three major call platforms rather than just one.
MaxAI (rank 11) Similar positioning to Sider and Monica - worth comparing rating and feature depth against those two before choosing.
eJOY AI Dictionary (rank 12) Purpose-built for language learners rather than general productivity - pairs AI definitions with spaced-repetition review.
NoteGPT (rank 13) The highest-rated YouTube/PDF summarizer in this dataset (4.9 from 400K users).
How Is the Quality Score Calculated?
The Quality Score is a 0 to 100 composite of three public Chrome Web Store metrics: adoption at 45% weight, rating quality at 35%, and review-volume trust at 20%. No extension can pay to raise its score or placement, and the same formula runs on all 133 entries so the numbers compare directly.
Each input answers a different question:
- Adoption (45%) is the install count from the store listing, log-scaled and normalized across the dataset. Log-scaling is what stops Grammarly’s 36M installs from flattening everything else to zero.
- Rating quality (35%) is the star rating out of 5, scaled to 100.
- Review-volume trust (20%) is the log of review count, normalized across the dataset. This is what keeps a 5.0 from nine reviews below a 4.7 from twelve thousand.
Two limitations stated plainly. Chrome publishes no vulnerability feed for extensions, so unlike our AI WordPress plugins report there is no security component in the score. And install counts are rounded by Google, which the growth section below deals with directly rather than pretending otherwise.
Which Categories Hold the Most AI Chrome Extensions?
Tools holds the most AI Chrome extensions at 61, followed by Workflow & Planning at 33 and Education at 13. Installs run the other way: Communication accounts for 45,541,000 of 72,752,000 installs, or 62.6%, from just 12 extensions.
| Category | Extensions | Combined installs | Share of installs | Biggest extension |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tools | 61 | 17,369,000 | 23.9% | Sider (5M) |
| Workflow & Planning | 33 | 5,779,000 | 7.9% | AI Grammar Checker & Paraphra… (2M) |
| Education | 13 | 2,821,000 | 3.9% | Brisk Teaching (1M) |
| Communication | 12 | 45,541,000 | 62.6% | Grammarly (36M) |
| Social Networking | 6 | 225,000 | 0.3% | Seamless.AI (100k) |
| Functionality & UI | 2 | 800,000 | 1.1% | ChatbotsPlace (600k) |
| Developer Tools | 2 | 51,000 | 0.1% | AI Code Finder, Alerts, Ask Q… (50k) |
| Accessibility | 1 | 100,000 | 0.1% | Chat AI Ctrl+Enter Sender (100k) |
| Privacy & Security | 1 | 40,000 | 0.1% | DuckDuckGo No-AI Search (40k) |
| Entertainment | 1 | 20,000 | 0.0% | Free AI Art Generator (20k) |
| Shopping | 1 | 6,000 | 0.0% | Permission Agent (6k) |
| All 11 categories | 133 | 72,752,000 | 100% | Grammarly (36M) |
That inversion is the most useful thing in this dataset, and it matches what we found on Firefox almost exactly. Developers build general-purpose AI tools because that is the obvious thing to build. Users install writing and communication assistants, because that is the job they actually have.
The per-extension averages make it stark. Communication averages 3,795,083 installs per extension. Tools averages 284,737, and Workflow & Planning averages 175,121. If you are shipping an AI extension, the crowded category and the rewarding category are not the same one.
Coverage thins out fast at the edges: Six of the 11 categories hold one or two extensions each, together just 1.4% of installs.
How Concentrated Are AI Chrome Extension Installs?
Heavily. Grammarly holds 49.5% of all installs on its own, the top three hold 63.2%, and the top ten hold 82.5%. The remaining 123 extensions share 17.5% between them.
The median extension in this directory has 30,000 installs. Only eleven clear a million, and 36 sit under ten thousand. So when a roundup calls an AI extension “popular,” check the number: on this list, 50,000 installs puts you in the upper half but nowhere near the top.
The useful read for a buyer is that below the top ten you are choosing between small, often single-developer projects. 109 distinct publishers cover 133 extensions, so there is barely any consolidation. That is not a reason to avoid them, but it is a reason to check the update date and review count first, which the next two sections cover.
Do Star Ratings Help You Pick an AI Chrome Extension?
No, and Chrome is worse for this than Firefox. 88 of the 133 extensions (66%) are rated 4.5 or higher, 86% sit at 4.0 or above, and only two are below 3.0. A metric where almost everything scores near the ceiling cannot rank anything.
Weighting by review count pushes the average from 4.44 up to 4.77, so the heavily reviewed extensions really are rated better. But the spread is so compressed that the difference between a 4.6 and a 4.8 is noise unless you also know how many people voted. 32 extensions have more than 1,000 reviews. Eight have fewer than ten.
That is why review volume gets its own 20% of the score rather than being folded into the rating. The rating tells you how people felt. The review count tells you whether to believe them.
The Featured badge does not rescue this. 84 of 133 extensions (63%) carry Chrome’s “Featured” badge, awarded for following its technical best practices. When roughly two in three listings have it, it cannot narrow a shortlist. This is the sharpest contrast with Firefox in the whole comparison: Mozilla’s equivalent badge is so rare that no AI Firefox add-on holds one, which makes it meaningful but useless for filtering, while Chrome’s is common enough to be the reverse.
Which AI Chrome Extensions Are Growing Fastest?
Hide Google AI Overviews grew 100% over the 23 days to 7 August 2026, from 100,000 to 200,000 installs, the fastest in the directory. It is an extension for hiding AI, and it is not alone: two of the tracked anti-AI extensions gained installs in the same window, led by Hide Google AI Overviews and DuckDuckGo No-AI Search.
Read install movement carefully, because Chrome rounds it. The Web Store reports installs in buckets, not exact figures, so an extension sits on the same published number for weeks and then jumps a whole step. Over this 23-day window only 19 of 133 extensions changed their published install count at all, and 114 (86%) showed exactly the same figure. Mozilla publishes exact daily active users, which is why our Firefox trend data is far finer grained than this.
Review counts are the better growth signal on Chrome. They moved on 58 of 133 extensions (44%) over the same period, more than three times as many as installs, because reviews are counted individually rather than bucketed. Sider added 600 reviews to reach 114,000, which tells you far more about current momentum than a frozen install figure does.
| Extension | Reviews 2026-07-15 | Reviews 2026-08-07 | New reviews | Installs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sider: Chat with all AI: GPT-5, Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, Grok | 113,400 | 114,000 | +600 | 5,000,000 |
| NoteGPT: YouTube Summary, Chat with AI Assistant, ChatGPT DeepSeek Claude | 7,700 | 8,000 | +300 | 400,000 |

| NanoInfluencer.ai - Audience Analytics & Find Similar Influencer | 2,000 | 2,200 | +200 | 10,000 |
| DeepL: translate and write with AI | 12,500 | 12,600 | +100 | 4,000,000 |
| Monica: All-In-One AI Assist & Smartest AI Agent | 32,100 | 32,200 | +100 | 3,000,000 |
| Trancy - AI Translator & Dual Subtitles | 2,700 | 2,800 | +100 | 300,000 |
| HARPA AI: Web Automation with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok | 3,100 | 3,200 | +100 | 300,000 |
| AI Exporter: Save Gemini, ChatGPT to PDF, Word, Notion - Markdown to pdf | 1,400 | 1,500 | +100 | 100,000 |
If you take one methodological point from this report, make it that one: on the Chrome Web Store, count reviews to measure growth, not installs.
Which AI Chrome Extensions Look Abandoned?
Fifteen of the 133 extensions have not shipped an update in over 12 months. Chrome’s extension APIs, the sites these tools attach to, and the AI providers behind them all change; an AI extension untouched for a year is likely partly broken, and it still holds whatever page-access permissions you granted it.
| Extension | Last updated | Installs | Rating | Paid tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI Magic | 2023-02-21 | 1,000 | 2.0/5 | No |
| AI Assistant | 2023-04-10 | 1,000 | 3.0/5 | Yes |

| Explain AI - Explain anything in its context | 2025-06-11 | 1,000 | 4.6/5 | No |
The old version of this directory could not show you that table at all. It stated openly that it did not track update dates because no feed existed. Pulling the listing pages directly solved that, and now 133 of 133 extensions carry a verifiable last-updated date.
For context, 72 extensions (54%) shipped an update within 30 days of this snapshot and 92 within 90, so most of the list is actively maintained. The worst case is Compose AI: 300,000 installs, rated 4.1/5, and last updated January 2025.
The check takes ten seconds. Open the extension’s store page, look at “Updated” under Details, and if it is more than a year old, read the recent reviews before you install.
Chrome Versus Firefox: The Same Formula, Two Ecosystems
Chrome’s AI extension market is roughly 82 times the size of Firefox’s by user count, and its ratings are meaningfully more compressed. Because both reports use an identical Quality Score, the two datasets can be compared line by line.
| Measure | AI Chrome extensions | AI Firefox add-ons |
|---|---|---|
| Extensions tracked | 133 | 89 |
| Combined users | 72.8M (installs) | 883.5k (daily active) |
| Biggest single share of users | 49.5% | 56.9% |
| Median extension | 30,000 | 1,572 |
| Mean star rating | 4.44 | 4.03 |
| Rated 4.0 or above | 86% | 58% |
| Total reviews | 367.3k | 7.2k |
| Store badge coverage | 63% Featured | 0% Recommended |
Two differences matter if you use both browsers. Chrome has far more choice and far more review data behind each choice, so you can verify a pick properly. Firefox has exact daily-user figures, which means you can see genuine momentum rather than inferring it from review counts. The full Firefox breakdown, with 89 add-ons and 883.5k daily users, is in our AI Firefox add-ons report.
Best AI Chrome Extensions by Use Case
Nobody installs “the highest quality score.” They install a meeting notetaker, or a summarizer, or something to check whether a student wrote their own essay. These groups are organised by the job, each sorted by quality score, with the paid-tier column showing whether the extension sells an in-app upgrade.

How Do You Install an AI Chrome Extension?
Open the extension’s Chrome Web Store link from the table above, click “Add to Chrome,” then confirm the permissions prompt. Click the puzzle-piece icon in Chrome’s toolbar and pin the extension so it stays reachable.
Read that permissions prompt before you accept it. Nearly every AI assistant asks to read and change data on the sites you visit, because it cannot summarize or rewrite a page it cannot see. That is not automatically a warning sign, but it does make AI extensions among the most privileged software you can add to a browser.
My install checklist, in order:
- Check the update date. More than 12 months old and I skip it. That removes 15 of the 133 extensions here.
- Check the review count, not the rating. With 86% of this list above 4.0, the rating tells you almost nothing on its own.
- Ignore the Featured badge as a filter. 63% of these have it.
- Read the permissions. A tool that only reformats one site should not need access to every site.
- Assume a paid tier. 34% of this list sells an in-app upgrade, so check the limits before you build a workflow on the free plan.
- Install one at a time. Two AI sidebars competing for the same shortcut is a bad afternoon.
Are AI Chrome extensions free? All of them install at no cost, but that is not the same as being free to use. 45 of 133 (34%) sell in-app purchases, which usually means message caps, word limits, or premium models behind a subscription. The other 88 advertise no in-app purchase at all, though some still sell a plan on their own website. The Paid tier column in the full directory shows which is which.
What This Data Says About AI on Chrome
Five conclusions, all falsifiable from the tables above:
- AI on Chrome is a writing and communication market, not a general-assistant market. 62.6% of installs sit in Communication, a category with only 12 extensions in it.
- It is a winner-take-most market. One extension at 49.5%, the top ten at 82.5%, and 123 extensions splitting the rest.
- Store quality signals have collapsed here. 86% rated 4.0+, 63% Featured. Neither number can separate anything, so review volume and update dates do the real work.
- Some of the fastest growth is anti-AI. The single biggest install gain in this window went to an extension that hides Google’s AI Overviews, at 100%.
- Measure Chrome growth with reviews, not installs. 58 extensions moved on reviews against 19 on installs, because Google rounds one and counts the other.
“The Featured badge and the star rating are the two things a buyer instinctively reaches for on the Chrome Web Store, and this data says both are nearly worthless for choosing between AI extensions. Two in three carry the badge and almost nine in ten are rated above four stars. What actually separates them is how many people bothered to review, and whether the developer has shipped anything this year. Those are the two columns nobody puts in a roundup.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best AI Chrome extension?
By combined installs, rating, and review volume, Grammarly is the best AI Chrome extension with a quality score of 95/100 and 36,000,000 installs. For a multi-model AI sidebar, Sider scores 91/100 on 114,000 reviews at 4.9/5, the largest review base in the directory.
Are AI Chrome extensions safe to install?
Safety depends on the permissions and the publisher, not on the extension being AI. Read the permissions prompt, prefer a large established review base over a high rating, and avoid anything not updated in over a year. Do not treat Chrome’s Featured badge as a safety signal: 63% of the extensions here carry it.
How many AI Chrome extensions are there?
This report tracks 133 AI-branded Chrome extensions holding 72,752,000 combined installs as of 7 August 2026. The Chrome Web Store publishes no API and blocks automated search, so the tracked set is curated rather than exhaustive, and it covers the extensions with meaningful adoption in each AI category.
Are AI Chrome extensions free?
Every extension here installs for free, but 45 of 133 (34%) sell in-app purchases, typically message limits or premium models on a subscription. The remaining 88 list no in-app purchase, though some sell plans on their own sites. Check the Paid tier column before committing to a workflow.
How often is this AI Chrome extensions list updated?
Every figure is re-pulled from the live Chrome Web Store listings and the snapshot date appears at the top of the page. Because Chrome rounds install counts, the report also tracks review-count changes between snapshots, which move sooner and more precisely than installs.
Methodology and How to Cite This Data
Source: each extension’s public Chrome Web Store listing page, read directly. The Web Store publishes no API, and its search is disallowed to automated clients by robots.txt, so this report updates a curated set rather than rediscovering the category each run. Adding an extension is a manual step.
Sample: 133 AI-branded Chrome extensions, 72,752,000 combined installs, 367,299 reviews, 109 publishers, 11 Web Store categories. Snapshots compared: 15 July 2026 and 7 August 2026, a 23-day window.
Ranking formula: Quality Score = 45% adoption (log of install count, normalized 0 to 100 across the dataset) + 35% rating score (rating out of 5, scaled to 100) + 20% trust score (log of review count, normalized 0 to 100 across the dataset). Identical to the formula in our AI Firefox add-ons report, so scores are comparable across both browsers.
Known limitation, stated plainly: Google rounds install counts, so the adoption input is a bucketed figure and short-term install movement is coarse. Review counts are exact and are the better momentum signal. Any growth claim in this report says which of the two it rests on.
Not measured: security. Google publishes no per-extension vulnerability feed, so no security component enters the score. The “Featured” flag is reported as published by the store and is a best-practice marker, not a security audit.
No paid placement: no extension paid for inclusion, position, or a higher score. Ranking is entirely formula-driven from public store metrics you can check on any listing.

Every number on this page traces to a row in the tables above, which is the point of publishing the formula next to the ranking. The best AI Chrome extensions for you depend on the job you need done, and you should be able to check my working instead of taking my word for it.
