If you’re like me, you’ll do anything to skip having an extra tab open for a web application. There’s a tab for my GMail, one for Google Reader, one Wordpress, Google Voice, the list goes on!
Well, Google’s Chrome support for extensions can keep you from having a few tabs open, with the GMail checker and the Google Wave notifier.
But until now, there was nothing for Google Voice.
Click to Call with the Google Voice Chrome extension
With Google’s new extension for Google Chrome, making phone calls directly from your web browser isn’t science-fiction any longer.
Just install the extension from this website, and you’re all ready to go.
Google has listed the following as features for this new extension:
- Adds a button to the toolbar, which displays the number of unread messages in your Google Voice inbox.
-
- Gives you quick access to your most recent messages with transcripts.
- Lets you initiate calls and send free text messages by just typing any number or contact name.
- Makes phone numbers on websites callable via Google Voice by just clicking on them.
What’s good about this extension is that it integrates your browser with Google Voice and saves you the trouble of having to keep an additional window or tab open for Voice.
The extension page also mentions that it might not work perfectly on Macs. Any Mac users who can tell us how it’s going?
