A lite tool for counting words and characters via right-click menu.
Word Counter is a simple extension that helps you get the number of words and characters in a text selection via context-menu.
Simply select a text with the mouse, then right-click and select - Count words & characters - from the context menu. A popup will appear to inform you about the number of words in the selected text. Besides this number, it also informs you about average word length, number of total characters, number of special characters, and the longest word. This addon has no settings or options to adjust. Simply add it to your browser and start using it. It works on any web page as long as you can select a word or sentence. Please note that this addon does not have a toolbar icon.

- (2024-01-09) John Weiss: Works well, but shouldn't count spaces as "special characters".
- (2021-10-25) Pat MySecret: Yet another context-menu-accessed counter. This one requires a right click, going to the tab, and then a left click. Cumbersome.. There are others that do it easier. It has the non-standard feature of stating the longest word.
