Chrome Web Store Extension Info
The Chrome Web Store is home to over 130,000 browser extensions used by hundreds of millions of Chrome users worldwide. Each extension listing displays the extension name, developer, user count, star rating, number of ratings, category, a detailed description, screenshots, and other key information. This data is vital for multiple audiences. Extension developers research the competitive landscape to identify opportunities and benchmark their products.
What it extracts

- Source — Extension developer or company.
- Rating — Average star rating.
- Rating Count — Number of user ratings.
- Category — Extension category classification.
- Number of Users — Total number of users.
- Overview — Extension description and features.
What you can do with it
- Competitive analysis for developers: Extract extensions in your category. Compare user counts, ratings, and feature sets to benchmark your extension and identify competitive advantages.
- User adoption intelligence: User counts reveal genuine adoption. Extract to understand which extensions in your category have real traction versus those with minimal installs.
- Security and permission auditing: Extensions request various browser permissions. Extract permission requirements across extensions to evaluate security implications before installation or organizational deployment.

Frequently asked questions
Does this work for Chrome themes too?
This robot is designed for extension listings. Chrome themes have a different page format, but the robot may extract basic data from theme listing pages.
Can I extract extensions from specific categories?
Yes. Browse to a category on the Chrome Web Store and paste that URL. The robot extracts whatever the page displays.
How accurate are user counts?
Chrome Web Store rounds user counts (e.g., 10M+, 5M+). They're reliable for relative comparison but not precise numbers.
