๐Ÿ“ฆ Installation

The extension can be installed from the Chrome Web Store here.

If you wish to build yourself, build.sh is used to copy all files to the build/ directory, compile css, and zip the extension. You can do this any other way you wish. SASS is used for CSS compilation. After running build.sh, the build directory can be loaded into Chrome.

๐Ÿ•น๏ธ Usage

Select a block of text on any site, right click, and choose Tally Word Counter: Count in the context menu. The number of characters, words, sentences, paragraphs, spaces, letters, digits, and special characters will be shown.
