Description

Use voice to control your Chrome browser

- Command your day: Get the latest news, weather, directions, and groceries, and more.
- Control Chrome: Browser Tabs, Bookmarks, Navigation, Page Control, take over your chrome browser by calling to your favorite Voice Assistant.
- Designed with your privacy in mind: Our unique hotword detection feature can be turned off, where "Hey Buddy" will not listen to what you’re saying until it’s being clicked. Never tracking your speech or "private" activities.

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
