We Just Launched Our Chrome Extension – And It's Completely Free! πŸŽ‰

 After months of development and listening to feedback from thousands of users, I'm thrilled to announce that Word Counter Plus is now available as a Chrome extension!

What Makes This Launch Special?

I started Word Counter Plus because I was frustrated with existing word counting tools. As a writer myself, I needed something fast, accurate, and privacy-focused – but everything I found was either bloated with ads or required uploading my text to unknown servers.

So I built Word Counter Plus. What started as a simple web app has now grown into a full-featured browser extension that over 10,000 people use every month.

What Can You Do With Word Counter Plus Extension?

Instant Text Analysis – Anywhere on the Web

Ever been writing an email, editing a Google Doc, or crafting a social media post and wondered about your word count? Now you can find out instantly:

βœ… Right-click any selected text β†’ Get instant analysis

βœ… Word count, character count, sentences, paragraphs – all in one place

βœ… Readability scores to ensure your writing is clear and easy to understand

βœ… Reading & speaking time estimates for presentations and content planning

βœ… Keyword density checker for SEO optimization

βœ… Advanced statistics including unique words, longest/shortest words, and more

Privacy You Can Trust

Here's what makes Word Counter Plus different: everything happens on your device.

❌ No data sent to servers

❌ No sign-up required

❌ No tracking or analytics

βœ… Works completely offline

βœ… Open-source code you can verify

Your words are yours. Always.

Real People, Real Results

Since launching the web version, we've helped writers, students, marketers, and professionals analyze over 5 million words. Here's what some users are saying:

"I use this every single day for my blog posts. The readability score helps me make sure my writing is accessible." – Sarah M., Content Writer

"Finally, a word counter that doesn't bombard me with ads or try to sell me a premium plan. Just does what it says." – James K., Student

"The keyword density feature is a game-changer for SEO. I used to use three different tools – now it's all in one extension." – Priya R., Digital Marketer

How to Get Started (It Takes 30 Seconds)

  1. Visit the Chrome Web Store β†’ Install Word Counter Plus
  2. Click "Add to Chrome"
  3. Start analyzing text β†’ Just highlight any text and right-click!

That's it. No account creation, no payment information, no email required.

What's Next?

πŸ”œ Firefox Add-on (submitted for review)
