Google announces its ‘favourite’ Chrome extensions for 2025: Here’s the complete list

2025 is coming to an end and as expected, Google has dropped the list of its top Chrome extensions that deliver the best overall experience. Looking at the list, AI-based tools dominate it. Moreover, it also signifies on how developers increasingly integrated AI into everyday browsing workflows this year. The annual roundup features tools that support productivity, learning, creativity and comparison shopping, reflecting how Chrome is evolving into a more personalised, intelligent browsing experience.

AI browsing companions

Google notes that 2025 marked a surge in AI-powered extensions designed to function as proactive assistants within the browser. Monica and Sider lead the category, offering all-in-one capabilities such as chatting with PDFs, summarising web pages and generating drafts without disrupting workflow. HARPA AI extends this further with web automation, enabling users to track price drops, monitor changes on websites and automate repetitive tasks directly inside Chrome. Quillbot also features prominently for its writing support features, including paraphrasing, grammar checking and text generation.

These extensions demonstrate how AI has moved beyond simple prompts to become embedded in routine browser activity, helping users complete tasks more efficiently.

Work and learning

In the productivity and learning category, Google highlights extensions that simplify meeting notes and support students. Fireflies.ai and Bluedot automatically record, transcribe and summarise virtual meetings so users can stay focused on discussions without manually keeping minutes. For students and learners, QuestionAI stands out as an instant homework assistant that explains complex topics, while eJOY converts everyday browsing into a language-learning experience by helping users discover and practise new vocabulary in real time.

Creativity and comparison

While AI dominates the 2025 list, Google also spotlights tools that enhance creativity and simplify decision-making. Adobe extends Photoshop capabilities to the browser, allowing users to make quick image edits without relying on desktop software. For shoppers, Phia emerges as a notable extension that compares prices across multiple websites, reducing the need for switching tabs and helping users quickly determine the best deal.

Availability

All the featured extensions are available through Google’s curated “Favorites of 2025” collection on the Chrome Web Store. Google says this year’s selections reflect growing demand for AI-powered browsing and demonstrate the Chrome ecosystem’s shift toward more intelligent and personalised online experiences.
