Salesforce Navigator Chrome extension

Salesforce Navigator for Lightning adds quick record search, record creation, and navigation shortcuts on top of Salesforce, including logging in as another user on the fly. It's best for Salesforce admins and power users who move between records constantly. The catch: it's built specifically for Salesforce Lightning, so it's not useful outside that platform.

What Salesforce Navigator does

Salesforce Navigator for Lightning is a Chrome extension that layers navigation shortcuts onto Salesforce. It lets you search and open records faster, create new records or tasks, and log in as another user without leaving your current tab, aimed at cutting down repetitive clicking inside Salesforce Lightning.

Salesforce Navigator free vs paid

Based on its Chrome Web Store listing, Salesforce Navigator for Lightning doesn't advertise a separate paid tier. You'll still need your own Salesforce org and login access, since the extension works alongside your existing Salesforce account rather than replacing it.

Is Salesforce Navigator safe?

Because it works directly with your Salesforce data, Salesforce Navigator needs permission to read and interact with pages on your Salesforce domain. It doesn't replace your Salesforce login or permissions; it uses your existing access to search, create, and navigate records.
