What is a Google Chrome extension?
A Google Chrome extension is a small software program that adds extra functionality to the Chrome browser, allowing you to personalize and optimize your browsing experience. These extensions are designed to enhance productivity, organization, and overall efficiency in various tasks.
To install a Chrome extension, simply visit the Chrome Web Store, search for the desired extension, click on the “Add to Chrome” button, and confirm the installation by clicking “Add extension” in the permission prompt. Once installed, the extension will be accessible from your browser toolbar, and you can start enjoying its features.
One important note: Schools sometimes say “no” to Chrome extensions for teachers and won’t let you install anything onto your device. They want to keep everyone’s data safe and sound and to review extensions before allowing anyone to download them.

The Google Chrome extensions on this list include a combination of extensions that are specifically for use with ChatGPT and ones that can be used more generally but also work well with ChatGPT.
