5 Best Command Palette Extensions for Chrome, Edge and Brave

A browser command palette should reduce clicking, not add another dashboard to manage. The best tools let you open pages, run actions, search tabs, trigger shortcuts, or reuse saved work from the keyboard. Some are true command bars. Others are keyboard-navigation tools that behave like command palettes once you learn them.

Quick Picks

Tool	Best for	Watch out for
SuperCommands	Browser commands plus saved work	Not a Vim-style navigation tool
Vimium	Keyboard browsing and tab search	Learning curve if you do not like Vim keys
Surfingkeys	Advanced keyboard commands and scripting	More technical setup
Shortkeys	Custom shortcuts and macros	Can overlap with browser defaults
Raycast Browser Extension	Raycast users who want browser context	Depends on Raycast outside the browser

The Best Command Palette Extensions

1. SuperCommands

SuperCommands is the most practical option if you want a command center inside the browser. Use Alt + S to search saved sessions, links, notes, snippets, screenshots, exports, and browser commands. It is open-source, and existing core features are 100% free forever with unlimited current core usage.

It works best when your browser work is mixed: open a saved client dashboard, paste a snippet, save a session, download page images, export a table, or capture a screenshot without moving through menus.

2. Vimium

Vimium is not a classic command palette, but its Vomnibar makes it useful for keyboard-first navigation. You can open bookmarks, history, and tabs, then use Vim-style keys for scrolling, link hints, tab switching, and page navigation.

Choose Vimium if you want to browse pages without touching the mouse. Skip it if you mainly want saved notes, snippets, and browser workflow objects.

3. Surfingkeys

Surfingkeys is the power-user pick. It supports keyboard navigation, an omnibar, commands, sessions, link hints, tab controls, and JavaScript-based customization. It can do a lot, but it expects you to be comfortable editing mappings and learning a command language.

It is great for developers and keyboard-heavy users. It is too much if you only want a simple launcher.

4. Shortkeys

Shortkeys lets you create custom browser shortcuts, chain actions into macros, and run built-in actions or JavaScript. Its Chrome Web Store listing also describes a searchable command palette for triggering shortcuts.

Use it when your problem is "I want one shortcut for this repeated browser action." It is less focused on saved browser objects like notes, links, sessions, and exports.

5. Raycast Browser Extension

Raycast's browser extension is useful if Raycast already runs your desktop workflow. It brings active-tab context into Raycast AI commands for tasks like summarizing pages or inspecting a site.

It is not a standalone Chrome command center. It makes more sense when your command palette lives in Raycast and the browser is one input.
