Ask HN: Any “Chrome Web Store's Favorites of 2022” Extensions?

by saradhion 11/18/2022, 8:43 PMwith 1 comments

Yesterday, I've received an email from the Chrome Extension team [chrome-favorites-of-the-year@google.com] informing the one of my extensions has been selected for Chrome Web Store’s end of year list, Favorites of 2022. Chrome wants to recognize outstanding extensions that make the browser experience great for users.

The email further states, "As part of Favorites of 2022, Chrome will feature your extension in a special collection on the Chrome Web Store home page, announce this collection on our social platforms and with press on Wednesday December 14, and send a commemorative gift to the extension publisher."

Firstly, is this legit? Has anyone received a similar email?

Well it seems there was one in 2021 [0] so maybe it is legit !

Anyway, here is two projects from 2022 I found interesting:

Heyday [1] is older but they did a relaunch this year. it is an AI powered "Web History" for auto resurfacing relevant info without actually bookmarking or tagging anything.

ACT-1 [2] is still in private alpha. it is an AI powered "Action Bot" that automate tasks online with natural language.

So what is yours ?
