About Word Counter

Word Counter is a simple and efficient tool that provides detailed statistics on selected text from any webpage. Just highlight the text and click the extension icon. Instantly, you'll get the number of words, characters, the average word length, and the longest word in your selection. Unlike other similar extensions, Word Counter Plus doesn’t open an external webpage for the count and doesn’t require any special permissions to function—making it lightweight, fast, and secure. Perfect for writers, students, editors, and anyone needing quick text analysis while browsing!
