- Browse through the best Chrome extensions of 2025
- They’re picked by Google based on the last 12 month
- These Chrome extensions all use AI in one way or another
‘Tis the season for end-of-year recaps – from Spotify Wrapped to YouTube – and Google has now published a list of its top 10 extensions for Chrome of 2025. You probably won’t be surprised to discover that they all use AI, to some extent or other.
AI browser companions
Google’s first batch of recommended Chrome extensions comes under the banner of AI browsing companions, led by Monica, which gives you easy access to searches and prompts through models from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek.
Sider is based on a similar idea, introducing a sidebar to Chrome where you can quickly get help from the AI model of your choice. You can use it to translate text, generate images, and generally do everything that’s possible inside a modern AI chatbot app.
Rounding out this group we’ve got Harpa AI for automating browser tasks and analyzing the pages you’re visiting, and Quillbot as an AI assistant focused specifically on writing and editing text (no AI was used in the production of this article).
AI note-taking and tutoring
The next group are recommended AI browser extensions that can help with your work meetings (that maybe should’ve been emails). First up is Fireflies, which will automatically transcribe and summarize Google Meet video chats in the browser.
Bluedot offers more or less the same set of primary features, though it also works with Zoom and Teams as well as Google Meet. You need never have to manually note down what someone said ever again – at least in theory.
If you want to use AI as a tutor, then there’s QuestionAI for getting complex topics explained to you through the power of AI, and eJoy, which in Google’s words “turns daily browsing into a language learning opportunity”.
Even more AI – and my own favorite
Think that’s everything that AI can do? Think again, because Google has also found time to recommend Phia, which helps you find the best price for specific fashion items on the web, with a single click. Plot twist: it uses “advanced AI” to study pricing trends.
Last but not least is my favorite of the bunch, Adobe Photoshop for Chrome, which helps me quickly remove backgrounds and adjust colors on pictures. You do need to pay for some of the more advanced features – but a free 12-month trial is included.
Photoshop uses AI too of course, but in a more transparent and useful way than a lot of the other extensions in this list. See you same time again next year for another Chrome round-up – and no doubt AI will be dominating once more.
