How this list is ranked
The match score measures how much of Chrome's job each tool can take over: shared core category, how many of the same use cases it covers, and how similar its feature set is. Popularity and ratings do not change the score; they only break ties in the order.
Lists are recomputed nightly from the live catalog and reviewed by our editors for the most-visited tools. Sponsored placements are marked and sit outside the ranking.
