NPM Download Insights is a free Chrome extension designed to enhance the browsing experience on the NPM website by providing interactive download statistics directly on package pages. This tool displays the total downloads for the past year by default, with options to select custom time ranges such as the last 30 days or the last 6 months. Users benefit from an interactive chart that features hover tooltips, all while maintaining the native NPM user interface, ensuring seamless integration without the need to navigate away from the page.

This extension is particularly useful for developers, product managers, and open-source maintainers, offering quick access to popularity trends and usage metrics for any NPM package. It supports all public package pages and adheres to privacy standards, as it does not collect personal data or track user activity. Future updates are expected to include features like CSV exporting and a package popularity leaderboard, further enhancing its functionality.
