Google Voice (by Google)

Make calls with Google Voice with a click.
What is Google Voice (by Google)?
The 'Google Voice (by Google)' Chrome extension transforms your browsing experience by making phone numbers on websites interactive. When you view a website with any phone number, it instantly becomes a clickable link for a Google Voice call. The extension also allows you to manually select and right-click a phone number to initiate a call, although this may not always work. The numbers-to-links function can be turned off in the extension's settings if preferred.

This extension used to be amazing, till they nerfed it. Used to let you send text/call via a pop-up box. Now all it does is open the Google Voice website for ya. Useless.
