A growing library of browser extensions
ExtensionTools collects focused browser tools — ones we build ourselves and ones we curate after hands-on testing. Every page states what a tool does, who it is for, and where it stops working.

How tools make this list
The principles behind every page on this site.
Small, focused tools
Each extension does one job. No bundles, no dashboards, no feature creep into adjacent problems.
Tested before listed
We install and use every extension on its released build — ours and third-party alike — before it gets a page here.
Limits stated up front
Every extension page carries a limitations section. If a tool cannot do something, you read it here first.
Honest about data
The tools we build run entirely in your browser. Anything that touches the network — ours or a curated tool's — says so plainly.
Maintained, not abandoned
Pages show their last update date, and we re-test as tools change. Entries we can no longer vouch for are removed.

Frequently asked questions
The questions we get asked most about this site and its extensions.
Are these extensions free?
All of them are free to install from the Chrome Web Store. Poindeo additionally offers a subscription for advanced use; the other tools are entirely free. Each extension page states its pricing exactly as shipped — including any curated tool that differs.
Do the extensions upload my data anywhere?
The capture tools we build ourselves process everything locally — recordings, captures and annotations never leave your device unless you share the exported files yourself. FlowSherpa, our step-guide tool, uploads a recorded step list only when you click Save to publish a share link, and deleting the share removes it from the server. Third-party tools we curate are held to the same documentation standard: their page states exactly what data they handle and where it goes.
Which browsers are supported?
Most tools here are built for Chrome, and some also run on Edge and other Chromium-based browsers. Each extension page lists the exact browsers it has been tested on.
Do you list extensions from other developers?
The collection starts with tools we build ourselves and grows with third-party extensions we test and can vouch for. When a page documents someone else's extension, it says so explicitly — there are no paid placements.
Why does every extension page list limitations?
Because every extension has them. Knowing where a tool stops working is part of deciding whether to install it, so we document limits with the same care as features.
