Description from store
Word Counter Plus is a simple and useful tool that lets you views stats on selected text. Simply highlight some text on a webpage, right click on it, and select the Word Counter Plus menu item. It will tell you the number of words and characters selected as well as the average and longest word length. Unlike similar word counting extensions, this one does not open an external webpage just to do the counting, nor does it require any permissions.

- broken now, but was a perfect tool. nevermind can be bypassed On your computer, open Chrome. At the top right, select More and then Extensions and then Manage Extensions. At the bottom right, select the toggle of the unsupported extension you want to enable.

- was literally amazing until it was disabled. im so sad that it has gotten removed. why in the world google would want to remove a word counter, i will never know.
- Dawn Peters
- Well it WAS the best one out there but is now apparently disabled for not following Google's "best practices"? I've tried all the rest and they are garbage in one form or another. Disappointing. I am happy to go back to a five star rating if it gets restored.

- i mean it's cool n all but it doesn't work in google docs, you should make a mod or shortcut where it becomes a working plugin within google docs.

- Henrique Matos
- Exactly what I needed, simple!
- Arkylie (Kilyle)
- Useful so far, but unreliable since it counts em-dashes / double-hyphens as separate "words" (so this parenthetical -- like this -- would count as 14 words, not 12). Not sure how it'll do with other punctuation oddities. Glad it measures the longest word but kinda wish it gave me the longest word as well (or at least the first word with the longest letter count).

- This tool works beautifully. Thanks for making it available and keep up the good work!

- a simple concept and a simple execution

- Nice tool. I like it. But wasn't a fan of the need to highlight texts.
- Robert K
- You are a gentleman and a scholar. Works great. Character count and longest word length too? Kudos.

- Solved my life as a translator!, Now I have a reliable count in texts out of Word, GDocs or any word processor. An intuitive and simple tool but really precise and up to the task.

- Anne Martin
- it's simple, it's intuitive (didn't need instructions to figure out how to use it), and it does what i need it to do. if a one-click or two-click version comes out that would be great, but as it is this extension does what it's advertised without any annoying extras. browser: Chrome Version 120.0.6099.109 OS: macOS Sonoma (14.1.2)

- Works perfectly – select some text, right click and select Word Counter Plus. (MacOS 12.6.8 / Chrome 120.0.6099.71)
- Dave Etchells
- Installed and wouldn't work. Button seems disabled, when I click it I just get a dropdown either pointing me back to this page or giving me the options to disable, uninstall, etc. Too bad, I liked how the screenshots looked here. Good luck fixing it! (This was with Chrome Version 119.0.6045.123 (Official Build) (x86_64) on MacOS 13.3.1)

- This extension doesn't even work! I've tried many times. Total waste of time. I guess it's because I also have and use Grammarly. But you guys should definitely fix that. Why have a counter if it doesn't work if you're already using Grammarly (a very popular writing tool).
