Word Counter - counts what you type

Shows a count of words and characters as you type.

Or select some text on a webpage to see the count of words, characters and estimated reading time.

Or tap on the extension button to open a window to write in. (Supports markdown formatting too!)

*Doesn't count in password or number input fields.

Update 13 Feb 2020:

New: App window to write longer text, with word count, word limits, markdown support, and more...

Update 27 Dec 2019:

New: Show estimated reading time for text. Reading time is calculated based on a reading speed of 200 words per minute.

Update 13 Nov 2018:

1. Removed permission for reading clipboard. Planned feature has been cancelled, so don't need this permission anymore.
2. Made word count non-selectable, so it doesn't get included when doing select all (Ctrl/Cmd + A) on a webpage.
