Best AI Chrome Extensions in 2026
A Chrome extension puts the tool where the work already happens, and that placement is worth more than a slightly better model behind a separate tab. Writing assistants correct inside Gmail and Google Docs.
Translators handle the page you are reading and the box you are typing into. Answer engines summarize the article without you copying it anywhere. The trade-off is permissions.
An extension that reads and changes data on every site can see everything you type, including passwords and client documents, so the vendor privacy policy matters more here than anywhere else in this directory.
Check what the extension is allowed to read, and prefer ones that activate on click rather than on every page. Each listing states its privacy terms and the date its pricing was checked.

Buying guide
How to choose an AI Chrome extension
3 checks, in the order that saves the most time.
Read the permissions before installing
Read and change all your data on all websites is the broadest permission Chrome grants. Prefer extensions that activate on click, and check the vendor retention policy.
Check where it actually works
Support for Google Docs, Outlook web and rich-text editors is uneven, and those are exactly the places people expect it. Test your own tools during the trial.
Watch the effect on page speed
An extension injected into every page adds latency and memory. If your browser slows after installing, restrict the extension to the sites where you need it.
Questions
AI Chrome extensions FAQ
Short, factual answers on pricing, free plans and how AI Chrome extensions are ranked here.
Ask another questionWhat is the best AI Chrome extension?
Grammarly for writing corrections in every text field, DeepL for translating pages and selections, and Perplexity for answering questions about the page you are reading.
Are AI Chrome extensions safe?
They ask for permission to read and change data on the sites they run on, which means they can see what you type. Install only from vendors whose retention and training policies you have read.
Do AI Chrome extensions work in Google Docs?
Grammarly does, and so does DeepL for translation. Support for rich-text editors is uneven across smaller tools, so test it during the trial rather than assuming.
Are AI Chrome extensions free?
Most carry the free tier of their parent product. Grammarly corrects spelling and grammar free with no expiry, and DeepL translates with a character cap.
