Great extension. It does exactly what you'd think it does. Nothing more, nothing less. Just how I like it.

My only suggestion to the developers is to allow users the ability to move the box, or have it autohide after X seconds. I just want to glance at the word or character count, not have it stay on my screen at the top right corner where I might accidentally close the browser instead of the Word Count popup box.

EDIT: okay, it did autohide for me, but it was more like 10ish seconds rather than 5. Regardless, this extension still does exactly what it should, so I will continue to use it.

It does what it says and is not in my way when I don't want it. The addon is completely hidden until you right click.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Very useful add-on. Would be even better if you implement a separate counting of actual characters and spaces between words. Example:

Total words: 467
Total characters and spaces: 1395
Total characters: 1312
Total spaces: 83

Just in time for NaNoWriMo.

Super handy add-on! I used to copy/paste text into a different tool to see the character count, but now I can do it right in my browser. Thanks Trishul!
