Which browsers does Helperbird work on?
Helperbird works on Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari as a browser extension. There is also an iPad and iPhone app, and on Android it runs inside Firefox and Edge. Because it is a Chrome extension, it works on Chromebooks and ChromeOS too.
How do I install Helperbird?
Open your browser's extension store, search for Helperbird, and choose Add to Browser. The Helperbird icon then appears in your toolbar, and clicking it opens the panel. Nothing else needs setting up, and the free features work straight away without an account.
