Here are Google's favorite Chrome extensions of 2022
Google publishes a list of its favorite Chrome extensions every year. The company has just published the list for 2022 on the official The Keyword blog. Since it is a bit difficult accessibility-wise, we thought that it is a good idea to give you a cleaner list that is easier to go through.
Also, Google explains each extension in a few words only, which often is not enough to fully understand its functionality and limitations.
Without further ado, the Google Chrome extensions of 2022 that are Google's favorites:
- Tango -- The extension assists users in creating how-to guides with screenshots. It captures each step of a workflow. There is a free version available, but it is limited in several aspects, including the inability to capture workflows across the desktop.

Try removing it. Won’t work without. It’s official.
The most Google’s favorite extension is uBlock Origin.
+10
I haven’t tried Chrome for a few years, but my favorite for chromium-based browsers is NoScript to keep my system from running untrusted javascript. Second favorite is running uBlock Origin in advanced mode, with third-party frames and javascript disabled.
Of the ones listed here, I like the MyBib website a lot, it’s my new go-to website for quickly generating a bibliography reference. I would use the website rather than an extension, for better privacy.
NoScript is the best extension to become a complete paranoid. Useless as hell, you will spend more time tweaking the extension than browsing the web. I would prefer to burn my laptop before using NoScript.
>”NoScript is the best extension to become a complete paranoid.”
Not true. uBlock Origin gives you far more choices of what to block or what to allow on each website if you use it in advanced mode. NoScript is quite user friendly compared to UBO.
And then eMatrix on Pale Moon ramps it up another few notches beyond UBO. It’s a modern fork of UBO’s old uMatrix.
@Andy Prough, I am a formerly user of NoScript and I won’t ever use it again. I am happy that you have find a proper way to enjoy it.
The best for me, in chrome, is History trends unlimited, to keep backup of my history, another is the best ad-blocker, adblockPlus, since they working to have compability on manifest V3. Also good for Youtube, is tampermonkey scripts that some of them brings the old UI of youtube website.
these are all trash. shows the average iq of chrome users.

Lmao, thoses are all garbages, where’s uBlock ?
But it’s understandable, they’re pushing no-adblock meta, so yeah just recommend users trashes instead.
My favorites are uBlock Origin and Return YouTube Dislike.
Looks like compose.ai does not respect individual privacy for users. It sends all data including passwords and sells them to 3rd party companies.
Jiffy Reader is a better alternative for reading, even it works with google play books. It uses biometric reading technique.
You can use strokeplus.net windows application to mouse gesture in chrome. Also, you can use it with Google’s pages too like extension store or settings vice versa. Since it is a windows app, you can change virtual desktop or swap application to another monitor with gestures etc. I highly recommend it.
Another extensions I recommend is Inoreader, Imagus, ClearURLs, Sponsorblock and Dark Reader
