7 Best Chrome Extensions for Gamers in 2026

5 min read · Updated 9/1/2026

FPS counters, Twitch tools and game deals — the best Chrome extensions for gamers.

Gamers live in two worlds: the game and the browser around it. These extensions serve the second world — Twitch chat tools, deal trackers, FPS overlays and capture tools that make the gaming life smoother.

Twitch and streaming

The Twitch extensions add chat improvements, emotes and VOD tools right in the browser. FrankerFaceZ and BetterTTV customize the chat experience with more emotes and features than the default client.

GoFullPage and the clip tools capture your gaming moments — full-page screenshots of leaderboards, match stats and builds. Loom's screen recorder captures gameplay footage for guides and clips.

Deals and price tracking

The game deal extensions (IsThereAnyDeal, Steam price trackers) show you when the games on your wishlist go on sale. Keepa and CamelCamelCamel cover the physical hardware side. Together they make sure you never pay full price.

Frequently asked questions

### Do Twitch extensions slow down the stream?

The chat-only ones (FrankerFaceZ, BetterTTV) are lightweight and run entirely in the browser. Avoid the ones with heavy animations or live previews if your machine struggles with streaming already.

### Can extensions improve game performance?

Indirectly. Tab suspenders and ad blockers free up RAM and bandwidth, which helps games that share the machine with a browser full of tabs. They are not magic, but the difference is real on mid-range laptops.
