Word and Char Counter is a Chrome extension developed by daisy.t.gan1. This free tool allows users to effortlessly determine word and character counts simply by highlighting text. The program features a convenient toggle switch that enables users to activate and deactivate the functionality on any webpage. In some cases, the toggle may not clearly indicate its status, but a quick toggle off and on resolves this issue.

Additionally, the developer aims to enhance the extension by implementing a "ctrl+a" popup function and improving visibility as needed. With its user-friendly approach and focus on simplicity, Word and Char Counter is a handy tool for those who frequently require quick text analysis.
