Notion has a word count for a whole page, but what if you want to check the number of words/characters in a selected block? This extension does just that.
This extension only has one content script. It simply grabs the element that is indicated as selected, gets the content of that block, finds the number of words/chars, and appends an element to the menus to display the relevant info, like this:
