Google has unveiled its favorite Chrome browser extensions for 2025. This year’s list is not ranked but is dominated by AI. It is divided into three categories.
AI companions
Google specifically highlights Monica and Sider, two all-in-one tools that help you summarize web pages, analyze PDFs and write text directly in the browser. HARPA AI, in turn, combines AI with web automation, for example to monitor price changes online. In addition, Quillbot continues to be a popular writing aid with advanced grammar and paraphrasing features.
Work and learning
In this category, Google recommends Fireflies.ai and Bluedot, which are extensions that can record, transcribe and summarize digital meetings automatically. QuestionAI then acts as a personalized tutor to explain difficult topics, while eJOY weaves language learning into daily browsing.
Creativity and shopping
Adobe has now brought its Photoshop features directly to the web, which Google says makes quick image editing more accessible than ever. Phia, the final winner in Google’s list, helps users compare prices and find the best buy with just one click.
