Form Character Counter: Real-time Character Counting for Web Forms
Form Character Counter is a Chrome extension developed by みるみ. This free add-on falls under the Browsers category, specifically Add-ons & Tools.
The extension aims to improve the usability of poorly designed web forms that limit the number of characters but fail to display the count. By simply installing Form Character Counter, a discreet character counter will be displayed in the lower right corner of the screen for each input form. This feature allows users to easily keep track of the number of characters they have entered in real time.
Form Character Counter also proves to be handy when checking the number of characters in password fields. Once installed, the extension automatically counts the characters entered in each form as the user types, without requiring any additional setup. The counter display is unobtrusive and does not interfere with normal work.
However, there are a few patterns in which the character count may not be displayed. For instance, if you are using the extension for the first time after installation, a page refresh may be necessary. Additionally, certain web forms that do not display character counts due to their specifications may not be compatible with the extension. Nevertheless, in general use cases such as membership registration information input and login forms, Form Character Counter is expected to work seamlessly.
Form Character Counter is currently at versionand is available for download on the Chrome platform.
