You are scrolling the store's ChatGPT results. Two listings say 3M+, the next says 5M+, and every badge looks the same. Nine live entries separate on users, rating, version, and last store update. As of August 21, 2026, Sider leads at 5M+ and ChatGPT Exporter pairs 200K+ with a 4.9.

You approve the install prompt and the permission list scrolls past unread. Months later the sidebar is still there, and the permission entries you approved are no longer visible. The last-update date is a number you saw once and never re-checked. Each entry is small. Stacked together, they become the list you will not audit again.

> **What to know**
> - All nine entries were live and installable on August 21, 2026, but store buckets and ratings shift. Re-open the listing before you add anything.
> - The separator is the job: agent, multi-model sidebar, prompt library, summariser, voice, export, plus a general assistant that crosses several.
> - Chrome shows requested permissions in the install prompt and on the store page before you add an extension. Run that check for every row below.

## The nine compared

All fields below were retrieved from the public Chrome Web Store detail page on August 21, 2026. User counts are the store's rounded buckets, so read them as approximations. Ratings are the aggregate star value on that date.

The first-party OpenAI row leads the table. The remaining eight are ordered by the store's rounded user buckets, largest first, and tied buckets keep the order shown.

| Extension | What it does | Users | Rating | Live version | Last store update |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT (by OpenAI) | Browser-control surface driven from ChatGPT | 3M+ | 3.1 | 1.2.27268.51612 | Aug 21, 2026 |
| Sider: Chat with all AI | Side panel fronting multiple models for search, reading, writing | 5M+ | 4.9 | 5.32.1 | Aug 19, 2026 |
| Monica: All-In-One AI Assistant | General assistant: chat, write, translate, summarise, generate | 3M+ | 4.9 | 9.0.22 | Aug 6, 2026 |
| AIPRM for ChatGPT | Curated prompt-template library injected into the ChatGPT page | 1M+ | 3.9 | 1.4.7.23 | Jul 28, 2026 |
| YouTube Summary with ChatGPT & Claude | Summarises videos, articles, PDFs through several models | 1M+ | 4.3 | 2.3.1 | Aug 5, 2026 |
| Merlin AI | Browser-agent assistant | 900K+ | 4.8 | 8.2.3 | Aug 18, 2026 |
| MaxAI | Ask-anything assistant for web browsing | 700K+ | 4.7 | 8.37.2 | Jun 3, 2026 |
| Voice Control for ChatGPT | Voice input and read-aloud layered onto ChatGPT | 400K+ | 4.0 | 4.4.1 | Aug 8, 2026 |
| ChatGPT Exporter | Exports conversations to PDF, Markdown, text | 200K+ | 4.9 | 6.10.0 | Aug 12, 2026 |

## 1. ChatGPT by OpenAI

OpenAI ships the first-party row. It drives the browser from the ChatGPT surface instead of adding a separate assistant panel. Store snapshot from August 21, 2026: 3M+ users, 3.1 rating, live version 1.2.27268.51612, updated August 21, 2026, the retrieval date. The 3.1 rating is the lowest on this list. If you want the tool that treats the ChatGPT surface as the primary agent and the browser as its hand, this is the match.

## 2. Sider: Chat with all AI

Sider's shape is one persistent sidebar fronting several models. Search, reading, and writing stay inside the same surface. 5M+ users, 4.9 rating, version 5.32.1, updated August 19, 2026 (two days before the retrieval). The user count is the largest on this list. If your main friction is juggling a ChatGPT tab plus a separate model tab for summarisation, a single panel that absorbs both is the fit.

## 3. Monica: All-In-One AI Assistant

Monica updated August 6, 2026, which is 15 days before the August 21 retrieval. That recency matters: the last store update is the first staleness signal to watch. Monica sits at 3M+ users, 4.9 rating, version 9.0.22. It spans chat, writing, translation, summarisation, and generation in one helper. Pick it when you do not want to remember which extension does which job.

## 4. AIPRM for ChatGPT

AIPRM sits at a 3.9 rating, second-lowest on the list. The entry is a template library rather than a general assistant. It injects curated prompts into the ChatGPT page so you repeat wording without retyping it. 1M+ users, version 1.4.7.23, last updated July 28, 2026 (24 days before the August 21 retrieval). If your workflow is a short set of repeatable prompts and you already keep a ChatGPT tab open, this is the narrowest tool on this list.

## 5. YouTube Summary with ChatGPT & Claude

Long video. Long article. A lengthy PDF. You do not want to read all of it before deciding what to keep. This entry summarises videos, articles, and PDFs through several models, so the answer is one short block instead of a scroll. 1M+ users, 4.3 rating, version 2.3.1, updated August 5, 2026 (16 days before the retrieval). The fit is the specific pain of needing the gist before committing to the full read.

## 6. Merlin AI

Merlin lands in the agent-assistant lane: 900K+ users, between the 1M+ entries above and the 700K+ below. The 4.8 rating is second only to the 4.9 cluster. Version 8.2.3, updated August 18, 2026 (three days before the retrieval). It behaves like a browser-agent helper rather than a chat-only sidebar. If you want the agent-style shape rather than a chat-only panel, this is the closest fit.

## 7. MaxAI

MaxAI carries the oldest last-update date on this list: June 3, 2026, 79 days before the August 21 retrieval. 700K+ users, 4.7 rating, version 8.37.2. The entry is an ask-anything assistant for web browsing: ask a question, get a short answer, move on. If the June date has not moved by the time you open the listing, that is the staleness signal to watch.

## 8. Voice Control for ChatGPT

Voice Control for ChatGPT changes the input modality. Instead of typing into the ChatGPT surface, you speak to it, and it reads the answer back. 400K+ users, 4.0 rating, version 4.4.1, updated August 8, 2026 (13 days before the retrieval). The use-case is hands-free drafting, or listening while your eyes are on a document, a spreadsheet, a video. If voice is the bottleneck in your ChatGPT workflow, this is the only entry here that addresses it.

## 9. ChatGPT Exporter

ChatGPT Exporter has the smallest user bucket on this list and a tied-highest rating: 200K+ users and a 4.9 star value. The job is narrow: it exports conversations to PDF, Markdown, or plain text so they survive a closed tab. Version 6.10.0, updated August 12, 2026 (nine days before the retrieval). If the problem is that a useful conversation vanishes when you close the window, this is the entry that keeps it.

## Pick the branch that matches your next state

If one of the nine above matches the job you came in with, add that one and close the store page. Re-check the last-update date before your next major project, not only at add time. If none of the nine covers the gap, the workarounds are a second extension for a different job, or accepting the limitation as-is.

If instead you now have more than one AI panel open in the same window and the tab window is what feels crowded, the next step is not another ChatGPT extension. It is keeping the tab session structured and easy to restore.

SuperchargeNavigation is live at version 1.3.4, last updated August 8, 2026 (13 days before the retrieval). It adds a side panel that lists grouped and ungrouped tabs for the current window. It stores named workspace snapshots, switched Arc-style so the current tabs are replaced by the target workspace. Restoring a workspace auto-saves the current session before opening the saved tabs. Quick Search opens on suggested `Alt+K`. `Alt+G` starts smart grouping, `Alt+Shift+G` clears groups, and `Alt+B` toggles the side panel. `Alt+Scroll` and `Shift+Scroll` switch tabs from the keyboard. Freezing a tab makes smart-group and degroup skip it. Workspace sync is enabled by default on a fresh install, not opt-in.

One caveat on every shortcut above: these are Chrome suggested keys. You can rebind them, and Chrome silently drops one that collides with another extension. They are not fixed. If a binding does not fire, check whether another extension also uses it.
