The Tag Assistant Companion extension works with Tag Assistant to help troubleshoot installation of gtag.js and Google Tag Manager.
When the Chrome extension is present, it enables additional features for Tag Assistant including debugging iframes and debugging multiple windows from the same debug session.

- (2023-12-16) Mikol Faro: This extension just opens the Tag Assistant Page. Useless
- (2023-11-26) Mo Beigi: Works fine for me. Makes sure you don't have ad blocker enabled or you get timeout errors....
- (2023-11-21) Dev TenXaffiliates: Way way worst compared to the old one. Instead of 1 click to check if the pixel is present and working you need to state the correct page, wait to be redirected to a new page and jump back and forth to check what is happening. Perfect example on how to NOT do things
- (2023-11-12) Victor l: it just doesnt work and show
- (2023-11-06) Nicolas Durand: It doesn't work, and hsan't for a long time. I always get the message "A timeout occurred while attempting to connect to" on the GTM side, and "Tag Assistant Not Connected Could not connect to Tag Assistant" on my web page. Not sure what value it adds, but it's more a headache than anything else.
- (2023-10-25) Václav Pospíšil 3dfocz: Naprosto zbytečné rozšíření, které 99% času nefunguje a nepřináší žádné užitečné informace. Je to pouze k vzteku a ztráta času. Uninstall.
- (2023-10-20) Patrick Tröszter: No quick overview on tags used on site like the old Tag Assistant. Just links to Tag Manager. Useless.
- (2023-10-19) Analitics Microsip OR: Doesn't connect with the webpage. I gotta use the old extension.
- (2023-10-19) Emil Tang Kristensen: It simply doesn't work. Why deprecate the other one with this is clearly not ready and is still in beta.
- (2023-09-20) Bill Addison: It simply doesn't work. Sometimes it does, other times it doesn't. There's no logic to this when and why it works but then other times doesn't. Literally in a clean Chrome install with only this extension installed and it doesn't work.
- (2023-07-01) Diego Andrés Buendía: It does not work or allow you to connect to the web.
- (2023-05-31) Andrew Floatrx: I tried the TagAssistant extension with my SPA (React), but it didn't meet my expectations. While GA DebugView worked well, TagAssistant froze frequently and showed numerous unhandled errors in the console. Disappointing experience overall.
- (2023-05-03) Simon Reuvers: As i don't see any other way for reporting bugs: We used to debug our GTM in the iframe with this chrome plugin being enabled. For debugging we just opened the parent page and the iframe showed up. For a week now this doesn't work anymore. For the iframe-gtm we do get an error message "tag not found". I tried the legacy plugin: Tag Assistant Legacy (by Google) and here we can debug the iframe as we used to. Please have a look at this. I really liked the new tag assistant companion plugin.
- (2023-03-27) Daniel Soon: My Tags were not found but it says connected.. :(
- (2022-12-08) Julius Fedorovicius: It's a fine extension that improves the latest version of the GTM preview mode. Most of the negative reviews here are not related directly to the extension. They are rather unhappy with the way the latest GTM preview mode works (different browser tab, etc.). But this was an inevitable change knowing that the previous version relied on 3rd party cookies.
- (2022-11-22) Scott Stefan: I almost didn't download this but then read some of the positive reviews. It works great. My G analytics says tags are not connect. But this extension is reporting on actions I take in the website. Simple fast tool. Now I have to figure out why Analytics is not connecting.
- (2022-08-10) DUDUDU DESARROLLO WEB: No se conecta con la web.
- (2022-07-06) Halil Özgür: I think there are a few misunderstandings here :) 1. This extension only provides the additional features as it says on the tin (description). So if you don't need those, you probably don't need this extension. 2. Tag Assistant works without this, this extension is NOT what provides its core feature set.
- (2022-06-09) Will Lanni: Very useful for development, QA as well as for stakeholders/data engineers to verify work. We installed the extension, then clicked on it in the extensions bar. The tag manager page opened and asked for us to pop in a domain. I really appreciated that my local dev environment was able to be entered and tracked. Once the tag manager had launched a new tab with my environment in it, I could click around and engage in our site and ensure that data we were tracking was being reported by clicking over into the tag manager tab and inspecting the events. Each event in each of the properties is displayed with a lot of different bits of information. I was able to see the custom dimensions configured, the various events reported in GA4, UA, as well as AdWords and DS3. Our QA department was then able to test in their environments once our builds went out, and our analysts were able to compare what was being reported in the tag manager with what they're seeing in Analytics, which is even more helpful for tweaking and creating tracking events. It's sad so many people didn't bother to read the docs. This tag assistant is WAY better than the old clunky Legacy tag assistant. Way more clear, way more elegant. Great functionality, and operates just as the docs describe.
- (2022-05-05) JL Wallican (jw): Just brings you to Tag Manager? Useless addition
- (2022-04-21) Renae Lunjevich: The extension doesnt server a purpose. What is the functionality meant to achieve? It takes you to https://tagassistant.google.com/ and nothing else?
- (2022-04-13) Gracy Lozano: No Funciona
- (2022-03-21) Justin Brandon: This extension gets 1 star from other reviewers because they're confused about what it does. It's probably Google's fault for naming it "tag assistant companion" which is way too similar to the extension it replaces, which worked in a very different way. If you use Google Tag Manager this extension simply makes "preview" or debug mode more powerful. That's what it does. It's a behind-the-scenes extension and it isn't meant to be "clicked on" as the legacy tag assistant was.
- (2021-12-06) Наталья Уварова: Бестолковый
- (2021-11-24) West Cops: Easy and clear
- (2021-10-20) Saishaa: Usslesss
- (2021-10-08) James Stz T: Working good for me. When I click on the extension, it shows me a list of domains that I can launch in "Preview Mode".
- (2021-09-05) zohaib khan Bhattani: not working accuratly, it not connecting to website
- (2021-08-05) Tatsumi Suenaga: All this extension does is that it takes you to tagmanager preview. Useless.
- (2021-06-23) Reid Bradley: This extension is completely worthless.
- (2021-06-21) Miguel Manzo: Good software, people complain too much for software they dont pay for.
- (2021-04-20) Macarena Cabrera: No funciona
- (2021-04-19) Matthew Richardson: Useless. Click the tag assistant companion button and it just takes me back to the extension download page.
- (2021-02-26) Sasha Coudray: New debug mode just sucks
- (2021-01-19) Eli Cardoso: what does it do
