About Find Extensions

Find Extensions is an independent directory that helps you pick the right Chrome extension for a task, a role, or a specific website. Every listing explains what the extension does, spells out its permissions in plain English, and compares it honestly against alternatives, with a visible last-checked date.

Last updated September 26, 2026

What Find Extensions does

Find Extensions is a directory built around one question: which Chrome extension should I use for a given task, role, or website. Instead of a raw list, each entry is written to answer that question directly.

Plain-English explanations of what an extension does and who it's for
Permissions translated out of technical jargon so you know what you're granting
Honest comparisons and alternatives, not just a single recommendation
A visible last-checked date on every page, so you know how current it is

Why we built this directory

The Chrome Web Store lists hundreds of thousands of extensions with thin descriptions, inflated install counts, and no easy way to compare similar tools. Find Extensions exists to sit between that store and your decision: a place that checks the details before you install anything.

How our reviews work

Every listing goes through the same review process, covering features, permissions, update history, pricing, and more. The full breakdown is on our methodology page.

Independence and how we make money

Our rankings are editorial and can't be bought. Where we run sponsored placements, they're always labelled Sponsored. We may also use affiliate links, which never change how an extension is ranked. Full details are in our editorial policy and affiliate disclosure.

Where AI fits into our process

AI tools help draft some of the content on this site, including first passes at descriptions and comparisons. Every page is reviewed by a human editor before it's marked ready, and we don't publish invented statistics or claims we haven't checked.

Corrections and feedback

If something on this site is wrong or out of date, tell us. Email hello@find-extensions.com with the page URL and we'll update the page and its last-checked date. See our contact page for details.

Our relationship with Google

Independent, not affiliated

Find Extensions is an independent publication and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google. Chrome is a trademark of Google LLC.

About Find Extensions: FAQs

Is Find Extensions affiliated with Google or Chrome?

No. Find Extensions is an independent publication. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google, and Chrome is a trademark of Google LLC, used here only to describe the browser our listings cover.

How does Find Extensions make money?

Through sponsored placements, which are always labelled Sponsored, and through affiliate links on some listings. Neither arrangement changes how an extension is ranked or reviewed; see our editorial policy for the full explanation.

Who writes the reviews on this site?

Our editors research and write each listing, checking permissions, pricing, update history, and developer information directly. AI tools may help draft early versions, but every page is reviewed by a human before publication.

Does AI write the content on this site?

AI tools assist with drafting some content, such as first-pass summaries. No page is marked ready until an editor has reviewed it, checked the facts, and confirmed nothing was invented or exaggerated.

How often are listings updated?

We recheck listings periodically and after user reports, updating the last-checked date each time. If an extension has been removed or looks abandoned, we flag that directly on its page.

Can a developer pay for a better ranking?

No. Rankings are editorial and are not for sale. Developers can pay for a labelled sponsored placement or advertising slot, but this never changes how an extension is scored, reviewed, or ranked against others.

What does "Listing Health" mean on a review page?

Listing Health is a set of signals, such as recent updates, Manifest V3 support, and a linked privacy policy. It's a quick freshness check, not a security audit, and it's explained fully on our methodology page.

How do I get my extension added to the directory?

Use our submit page to send in your extension for free consideration. If your extension is already listed, you can use claim to verify ownership and update its details.

How do I report an error or outdated listing?

Email hello@find-extensions.com with the page URL and what's wrong. We'll check it and update the page along with its last-checked date, as described on our contact page.

Does Find Extensions test every extension personally?

Our review process centers on checking features, permissions, update history, developer information, and pricing rather than installing every extension. The exact checks we run are listed on our methodology page.

What browsers does Find Extensions cover?

Our directory focuses on Chrome extensions specifically, including their permissions, pricing, and compatibility with the current Manifest V3 platform, rather than covering extensions for other browsers.

Where can I read the exact review criteria?

Our methodology page lists everything we check on every extension, how we write verdicts and comparisons, and what our Listing Health signals do and don't mean.
