- Tools like Monica and Sider stood out as do-it-all AI companions. These platforms let users chat with PDFs, summarise web content, and even draft text without switching apps or breaking the flow.
- Meanwhile, automation-focused tools like HARPA AI helped users track price drops, monitor website changes, and automate repetitive browser tasks.
- And here comes a writing staple for many users – Quillbot. The extension continued being one of the most reliable writing partners, offering grammar checks, rephrasing options, paraphrasing tools, and AI-backed text generation.
Work And Learning Chrome Extensions
The browser also became a smart notebook and meeting assistant this year. Meeting tools like Fireflies.ai and Bluedot ensured users could record online meetings, transcribe them automatically, and even pull short summaries from them later – so you don’t have to scramble for notes mid-call.
For learners, QuestionAI acted like a quick tutor, helping explain complex topics, while eJOY turned casual browsing into language-learning sessions – offering vocabulary building in a real-world context.
Creativity And Smart Shopping Chrome Extensions
Not all tools were about AI dominance though. Some highlighted creativity and smarter spending instead. Design and image editing got a boost from Adobe, with Chrome extensions rolling out browser-integrated image-touchup features similar to popular Photoshop edits. The brand featured Adobe tools like Photoshop-inspired browser edits – cutting the friction for quick image fixes during browsing.
Plus for shopping, Phia helped users compare prices without opening 10 tabs. Instead of scrolling through marketplaces manually, the extension fetches the best deal quickly – giving you the final say on where to buy.
