This extension shows an instant word count of the visible text on the current page, along with character count, image count, and an estimated reading time. It runs only when you open the popup, injects a small content script into the active tab on demand, and avoids broad host permissions. You can choose whether numbers should be included in the word count from the Options page. The design keeps permissions minimal and uses safe DOM access for accuracy without collecting any personal data. No analytics, no remote code, and no unnecessary background work.
Writers, editors, researchers, and students can quickly gauge the length of an article, blog post, or document before reading or sharing. Because the add-on relies on visible text, it gives a practical estimate that aligns with what readers actually see. The extension is lightweight, open-source licensed, and built to meet AMO’s guidelines.
