Our favorite Chrome extensions of 2023

Every year, developers build unique and creative Chrome extensions to help with everything from productivity to accessibility on the web. And 2023 was certainly no exception. From saving money while online shopping to quickly translating websites, here are some of our favorite extensions from the year.

Get tasks done faster

As your days get busier this time of year, new AI-powered extensions can help you get more done in less time. Scribe uses AI to document your workflows and create step-by-step guides to easily train colleagues, DeepL Translate instantly translates web pages to help you quickly overcome language barriers, and QuillBot allows you to compose and respond to emails in just a few clicks.

Meanwhile, Sider, an in-browser sidebar, lets you use generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Bard without having to open another tab. And if you’re looking for a career change, check out Teal, which lets you bookmark jobs from popular job boards and easily track and manage all your job applications in one place.

Easily share meeting notes

No need to stress about taking detailed notes during team meetings. Transkriptor automatically transcribes your meetings from audio to text so you can stay focused on the conversation. And it supports more than 100 languages so you can easily share notes with international colleagues.

Style your browser

Customize your browser exactly how you like it. For those who prefer a minimalist approach, Bonjourr keeps your homepage clean, beautiful and distraction-free.

Add more accessibility tools

We’re also seeing more extensions that support an accessible and inclusive browsing experience. Speechify is a text-to-speech extension that reads articles, emails and PDFs using natural voices and accents, including celebrity voices. And Equalizer gives you more fine-tuned audio controls to improve the sound quality of content you’re listening to online.

Game on

Need a quick break? See how far you can get in Boxel 3D, a platformer game that challenges you to create your own levels and think outside the box. And for all you Roblox lovers, BTRoblox enhances the game’s website with a variety of new features.

To help you save a few bucks, Coupert finds the best promo codes from across the web and automatically applies them when you check out.
