Our favorite Chrome extensions in 2025
2025 was a landmark year for Chrome extensions, with developers finding new ways to integrate AI into our daily browsing workflows. As we wrap the year, we’re sharing 10 of our favorite Chrome extensions from 2025, whether you’re looking to maximize productivity, learn a new language or simply browse on your own terms.
AI browsing companions
AI transformed the browser this year, turning Chrome into a proactive assistant.
- Monica and Sider stood out as all-in-one powerhouses allowing users to chat with PDFs, summarize web pages and draft content without breaking flow.
- For those who want to automate the web, HARPA AI blends AI with web automation, tracking price drops and monitoring data changes.
- Quillbot rounds out the group as an essential writing partner, offering advanced paraphrasing, grammar checking and AI-powered text generation to ensure your writing is always polished and professional.
Work and learning
This year, extensions moved beyond simple tasks to help us deeply understand content and manage our time.
- Never scramble to take notes again. Fireflies.ai and Bluedot automatically record, transcribe and summarize your virtual meetings, letting you focus on the conversation rather than the minutes.
- For students and lifelong learners, QuestionAI acts as on-demand tutor to help explain complex topics. Meanwhile, eJOY turns daily browsing into a language learning opportunity, helping you master new vocabulary in context.
Creativity and comparison
While AI is a major theme of 2025, some of our favorite extensions celebrate human creativity and just make getting things done on the web easier.
- Our close partners at Adobe brought their Adobe Photoshop editing tools directly to the browser, making it easier than ever to perfect an image on the fly.
- Finally, smart shopping is all about comparison. Phia acts as a personal shopping assistant. Instead of endless tab-switching to compare costs, Phia automatically finds the best price with a single click, giving you the final say on where your money goes.
