Admins / Developers

Most Popular Salesforce Chrome Extensions 2025

By Andreea Doroftei

It’s no secret that there is a vast array of fantastic, time-saving, and helpful Salesforce Chrome extensions out there. But how do you separate the wheat from the chaff?

For me, Salesforce Chrome extensions are a big part of my working life, as they support my productivity in a variety of ways. From plugins and password managers like LastPass to extensions like OneTab that save memory and reduce clutter, there’s a Chrome tool for everything.

Salesforce is no exception – there are many great Salesforce Chrome extensions to choose from that can help you in your day-to-day tasks. This post will focus on admin and developer Chrome extensions, ranked by popularity (installations and ratings), ease of use, and included functionality.

Ranking Salesforce Chrome Extensions

For 2025, we have reviewed the top-rated 4- and 5-star Chrome extensions for Salesforce professionals, ordering them based on functionality, ease of use, star rating, number of users, and user reviews.

While this post includes extensions that are handy for technical folks, be sure to also check out the post below for Chrome extensions designed to increase end-user productivity. Additionally, keep security in mind at all times when installing browser extensions, and review both the potential implications and how the extensions align with your company’s policies.

1. Salesforce Inspector Reloaded

★★★★★ (192)

Users: 300,000+

Salesforce Inspector Reloaded has quickly gained a whole lot of popularity among users, as it has significantly improved the OG Salesforce Inspector functionality we all know and love. Thomas Prouvot, alongside other collaborators from the amazing Salesforce community, has enhanced the well-known extension in ways that help both admins and developers in most of their activities. 

As of recently, the Salesforce Inspector extension no longer follows best practices for Chrome extensions, so if you were pondering making the switch, there’s no better time than today!

This extension can effectively help with most admin tasks, including the ability to navigate to permission set and permission set group assignment with a click of a button, access setup pages or developer documentation from the Shortcuts tab, and review company information such as the Org Id from the Org tab. 

Perhaps my favorite features are the ability to adapt the position of the side panel to suit your working style, decide what is returned in the metadata search results, and execute API calls using the REST Explore page!

2. ORGanizer for Salesforce

★★★★★ (246)

Users: 80,000+

The ORGanizer Chrome extension allows you to forget about remembering your Salesforce.com username and passwords, and helps you recognize Salesforce.com tabs from various orgs on your browser. You can set individual labels, colors, and even quick links for your orgs to make navigation easier. You can also find the ORGanizer Connector App on AppExchange, which can be used in tandem with the extension to easily share the credentials repository as needed. 

3. Salesforce Advanced Code Searcher

★★★★★ (197)

Users: 70,000+

This extension enables you to quickly search through your instance’s Apex classes, triggers, Visualforce pages, and more.

4. Salesforce Colored Favicons

★★★★★ (99)

Users: 70,000+

This extension is sure to become a fast favorite, as it really is the simplest safeguard to prevent a user with administrative permissions in Salesforce from accidentally making changes in production. Each org will have its own color cloud in the browser, so you know exactly which sandbox or instance you’re in without having to check the URL. Conveniently, the color is set up automatically every time a new instance is opened, but you can change it afterwards.

Note: You can literally choose any color you’d like, so no matter how many production orgs, sandboxes, and developer editions you have, colors won’t repeat – unless you want them to. 

5. Enhance Salesforce Dashboard

★★★★☆ (51)

Users: 20,000+

Salesforce only allows you to refresh dashboards daily, weekly, or monthly. With Enhance Salesforce Dashboard, you can now access “up-to-the-second” real-time information and set auto-refresh frequency and duration.

6. Apex Debugger

★★★★☆ (32)

Users: 10,000+

This Lightning-compatible Chrome extension helps with debugging Apex code. You can open logs from any Salesforce page and easily configure keyboard shortcuts as needed. Additionally, you can filter, search, or delete the logs.

7. Salesforce Navigator for Lightning

★★★★☆ (21)

Users: 8,000+

This extension helps you quickly navigate to Salesforce pages by simply starting to type where you want to go.

8. Why Salesforce

★★★★★ (39)

Users: 7,000+

How many times have you typed “Flow” or “Installed Packages” in the Setup Quick Find? Probably too many to count. These are just a couple of examples of pages that can become accessible with a single click while in Setup, thanks to the Why Salesforce Chrome Extension. Developed by Warren Walters, this open-source project is continuously enhanced with the help of the Salesforce community.

This extension allows you to create additional tabs next to Object Manager in Setup, so you can quickly access exactly what you need – either in the same tab or a new one. 

9. Boostr for Salesforce

★★★★★ (35)

Users: 5,000+

Boost your admin and developer productivity on Salesforce.com with Boostr! This app lets you search when adding items to a change set, filter, add a checkbox in the admin area to check or uncheck all fields, and much more more – including using Pascal Case for API Names when creating new fields.

10. Salesforce Simplified

★★★★★ (46)

Users: 2,000+

The Salesforce Simplified Chrome extension is designed for Salesforce Developers, easing their daily work by sharing useful, accessible data points on top of the UI. This helps you to work faster, saving time and avoiding unnecessary clicks.

11. Salesforce Explorer

★★★★★ (7)

Users: 1,000+

While Salesforce Explorer is still a fairly new Chrome extension compared to others on this list, it couldn’t go unmentioned given the number of productivity features it’s packed with. From an enhanced Object Manager view that lets you review details even in a pivot format, to easily comparing records across different orgs, deep diving into user access, and determining individual field usage – to name just a few.

The side panel, accessed by a right-clicking, can help you navigate through field values, make updates, or even export related records! Additionally, the team has recently introduced an Agent Explorer view, empowering you to quickly deep dive into the agents and their related components all on one page.

And finally, although a very new extension, it is bound to come in handy when looking for a developer edition based on the Org Id, in the context of the new Salesforce Environment Switcher. Todd Halfpenny recently developed this tool, which enriches each tile on the page with the Org Id for added clarity and flexibility in identifying the org – production org tiles are also highlighted once the extension is used.

Summary

Even though quite a few Chrome extensions are no longer available this year or no longer follow Chrome extensions’ best practices, there are still many options for Salesforce professionals – depending on where you need extra optimization in your workflow and, of course, personal preference. 

There are so many more Chrome extensions out there that could become the next productivity booster for Salesforce professionals. Be sure to share your personal favorites in the comments below!

    Hi Rajat, As with many third party products, some are still working on being compatible with Lightning, however I think you'll find that the majority of these do support Lightning. Some of these products also have newer versions that didn't quite make it onto our list because they don't yet have enough users and reviews. It's also worth noting that there are still many organisations using Classic and therefore these Chrome Extensions are very much applicable to them. Regards, Christine

    Most of them are not updated since few years. You should filter out all that are not updated since one year. Most probably they are using some old libraries and may cause security risk. At least add to table last update date of each extension.

    Hi Pawel, Thanks for your feedback! We will certainly take into consideration your suggestion to add the last update of each extension - I agree this would be useful. Best, Christine

    Great! Chrome with 5 extensions needs a lot of time to start, you should add 5 more and go to the vacation and when you come back, your google chrome is there. It opened its window!!! Until I found out that there is VIVALDI browser, I had A LOT of problems with chrome. Slow work, I had to go to google to find out how to make it faster. And it works for a week or two, then it is slow again. Long live VIVALDI. And it can use all chrome extensions. At the moment, I use 4, and it is not slower because of it.

    I really like the Maven Tools for Salesforce extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/maven-tools-for-salesforc/kgookdjjmmekebgdecakmblghjgiaoem?hl=en One tool to rule them all!

    Also really like “Why Salesforce” to add custom tabs on Setup (Lightning) I really miss an extension that can store and automatically log me in in any Salesforce AND Marketing Cloud instances. ORGanizer is great for that, but only support Core :(

    Does anyone use the Salesforce Chrome extension? I can install it, and when I try to log in, I receive a message saying that our organization does not have access. Is there a setting I am missing, or does this just not work?
