Google Reveals 2025’s Most Popular Chrome Extensions: Google’s latest “Favorites of 2025” list makes one thing clear: AI is no longer just a bonus inside your browser—it’s becoming the main driver of how people work, learn and stay productive online. The company highlights a huge rise in AI-powered Chrome extensions that now help users summarise pages, write content, automate tasks and even handle their homework in real time.
AI Browsing Companions Take the Lead
According to Google, 2025 was the year when browser-based AI assistants truly went mainstream. Leading the pack are Monica and Sider, two all-in-one AI companions that act like always-available helpers inside Chrome. With these tools, users can chat with PDFs, generate drafts, summarise lengthy webpages and get on-demand writing support—all without breaking their workflow or switching tabs.
Another standout is HARPA AI, which pushes the idea of AI automation even further. This extension can monitor price drops, track website changes and automate repetitive browser tasks directly inside Chrome. Whether users want updates on flight prices or need an automated daily scrape of a website, HARPA AI handles it quietly in the background.
Quillbot, a familiar name for writers and students, continues to remain one of the most widely used AI tools. Its paraphrasing engine, grammar checker and text generation features make it a go-to extension for quick rewrites and polishing written content.
Together, these tools show how AI is no longer just about producing answers to prompts—it’s now woven into everyday browsing, streamlining tasks that once needed multiple apps or websites.

Work and Learning Extensions Become Essential
Google’s 2025 list also highlights the rapid growth of AI solutions designed for productivity, online meetings and learning.
Two tools—Fireflies.ai and Bluedot—stand out for office users. These extensions automatically record, transcribe and summarise virtual meetings, letting people focus on the conversation instead of scrambling to take notes. Meetings become more organised, searchable and easier to reference later.
For students, AI-driven learning helpers are becoming must-haves. QuestionAI acts as an instant homework assistant, breaking down complex topics with simple explanations. Meanwhile, eJOY makes language learning part of everyday browsing. The extension helps users discover new vocabulary in real time as they read webpages, turning casual surfing into a quick study session.

Creativity and Smarter Shopping Get a Boost
While AI dominates most of the 2025 list, Google also highlights tools that assist with creativity and smarter decision-making.
Adobe continues to expand its ecosystem with a Chrome extension that brings Photoshop-like features straight to the browser. Users can make quick image edits without needing heavy desktop software, which is especially useful for creators working on the go.
On the shopping front, Phia is gaining popularity as a comparison tool. It scans multiple websites instantly and shows the best available prices, saving users from endless tab-switching. Whether someone is buying tech gadgets or household items, Phia helps find the best deals with minimal effort.
Available in the Chrome Web Store
All these featured extensions are part of Google’s curated “Favorites of 2025” collection, now available on the Chrome Web Store. Google says this year’s selections highlight a strong shift toward AI-powered browsing and reflect how users increasingly expect smarter, faster and more personalised online experiences.
With tools that automate tasks, enhance meetings, support learning and improve creativity, Google’s 2025 list shows just how quickly AI is becoming an everyday part of life inside the browser.
