What the Chrome Web Store looks like underneath
Most category lists are guesswork. These numbers were read straight off listing pages: real install counts, the leader’s actual star rating, how many extensions rank for the term, and what share of them stopped shipping.

How to read this
Rating is the leading extension’s own score, not a category average. That distinction matters: averaging drags in abandoned listings with a handful of reviews and invents problems that are not there.
Stale is the share of ranked extensions whose last update is over twelve months old. A high number means incumbents stopped shipping, not that nobody wants the category.
Source: Chrome Web Store listing pages, read 2026-09-16. Install counts are the store’s own rounded buckets. Categories whose leader has under 10,000 installs or under 30 ratings are excluded as too noisy to interpret.
