What is this worthless trash? I click the toolbar button and it just opens Google Voice in a new tab? Why wouldn't I just use a bookmark? |

I'm signed into multiple Google accounts in Chrome and I don't want the Google Voice extension using the default one (which is what it does). But, there's not option to switch accounts within the extension. |

this extension is useless. It just re-directs to Google voice. I want to call while staying on the same URL |

What does this extension do??? I still have to open the Google Voice website to use the features of Google Voice. No calls ring in my browser unless Google Voice is an open tab, which defeats the whole point of the extension. This is pretty much the most useless extension in the store. |

Turns every number into a click to call link, which is nice, but every click opens up GV in a new tab, causing Chrome to waste even more memory than usual. Laughably substandard support documentation for the extension and for Google Voice in general. But ultimately we're uninstalling because Google dropped the ball on our number port on the one yard line and we haven't been able to receive calls for a week... and counting... so we have to change to a completely different provider. Pretty sad. |

by default the extension will be able to access your camara according to the system last access. I understand that this extension might have the capability to make video calls too, in my opinion, they should ask first :) . I blocked the access manually and monitoring it closely to see how do they do ... Great app tho, beside that . |

It performs the basic function of adding a Google Voice icon next to phone numbers on web pages, but the toolbar button just opens the Google Voice web app, so if you turn off showing icons next to phone numbers, it is no better than a bookmark. You used to be able to get an extension from Google that would show how many unread texts/voicemails you had on the extension icon as well, and let you preview them in a pop-up; this is a massive downgrade from that. |

Theres no click to call feature. |

What a completely useless extension. All it does is open the Voice web interface in a new tab. Why would I need a browser extension to do precisely what a bookmark already does? |

Doesn't do much now and the extension makes some etherscan.io pages unresponsive |

Now it finally recognizes numbers, great! But it crashes etherscan.io website |

this is an extension? No, it's a BUTTON to take you to the website. Uninstalling. I can get there myself. |

Click to call no longer works. Google does a great job of taking good ideas and completely destroying them. Good job morons! |

Two issues: 1) it didn't work initially - after installation phone numbers on webpages can't be clicked. It asked to change permissions, but windows 10 doesn't offer option for google voice, only skype and others. uninstalled then reinstalled, restarted chrome, finally it works, but as others note, multiple clicks to call 2) it hogs CPU driving to 100% on two cores - high heat, high battery use: once uninstalled chrome went back to normal. will watch it. Google quality & innovation continue to decline - they need a real competitor. Any alternatives? |

What's the point? It just opens the Google Voice webpage in another tab. I can do that by going to the website. So many features (push notifications, streamlined UI, etc) could easily be included in an actual desktop app like the one we had for Google Hangouts. |

This application used to display the number of new voicemails in the icon. That was the reason I downloaded it. That feature was removed long ago and now the only purpose this extension serves is to let you call numbers on web sites automatically. Not useful to me anymore. |

Thank you for updating, now every phone number on any website has the Google Voice icon which allows it to be called by clicking and taking you to your Google Voice web interface page. It even works in my google calendar! |

This was once a great extension, but it appears it is no longer supported and it's turned into little more than a quick link to Google Voice. Please bring back the notice of unread messages in GV and the ability to text from the extension itself so I can give it the five stars it once so richly deserved. Edit 12/23/2021 - Still no love. Google Voice on my Android devices works great... Please update this Chrome extension so it works again. It would be an awesome Christmas present. |

its ok. i can't tell what the other reviewers are talking about with the "old one was better" thing though; i click a number and it just shows a confirmation dialog then makes the call; seems smooth to me. ๐คทโโ๏ธ |

Hey, I do not get notification on Edge mainly for text messagesโฆ I got notified on my phone, then I go and open the browser. it is acting as if it is a shortcut for the website Is that how it is supposed to be or I have something wrong? Or a setting issue? Version 96.0.1054.57 (Official build) (64-bit) Cheers, |
