WordCountPlus.mozdev.org – Count Your Words

Over at Wordcountplus.mozdev.org you’ll be able to find a very interesting Firefox add on. With the downloadable application, you’ll be able to count the number of words you currently selected. While this might sound like something more apt for a word processor and not a browser, it could come in tremendously handy. For instance, if you need to keep a quote under a certain amount of words, you’ll be able to quickly comply to that with this add on. You can add the number of words to a counter which accumulates and lets you see a running total of words you have selected. The add on is placed in the status bar, and there are no distracting pop ups. This will allow to forget about the add on and only take it into account when you have to use it. Being unobtrusive is something that every add on should do, yet some don’t. This add on makes for a great addition to the Firefox family.

“Word Count Plus, an extension for Firefox, sits unobtrusively in the status bar of the active window, where it shows you the number of currently selected words. You can choose to add that number to a counter, in which case you will also see a running total.”

It’s always useful to have a word count application. This gives new use to your everyday browser.

Is it that useful in a browser? Won’t it become something most people forget they have?
