Summary
Counts the words in the document selection and text entry. The count is displayed in an icon in the location bar. Use this to track word counts as you type or if you're curious how many words are in part of a web page.
User reviews
I decided to try this out hoping that it would work, but instead of doing as shown it would just sit there uselessly. I am honestly disappointed.

Overall design simple and useful, but it counts double-dashes (my replacement for the em-dash while writing online) as "words," e.g. counting 503 for a document I know to be 500 even. Also, it says it "can read and change site data," and I have to wonder why a word-count utility would need access to CHANGE site data. I'm gonna keep looking.
