When I’m researching, useful links and source notes can end up scattered across tabs. I built Research Helper Pup to make two parts of that workflow easier: checking where links lead and saving notes with their source.
It can check destination URLs on Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo search results. You can also inspect a link’s destination when hovering over it. When you find something worth keeping, select the text to save it with the page title and URL in a local notes panel. There’s also an option to connect a .txt file as a readable copy.
One thing I want to be upfront about: Chrome shows a broad site-access permission prompt. The extension needs access across search pages and other sites for its link-checking features. Its checks and notes are processed on your device. It helps you inspect destinations; it doesn’t scan for malware or guarantee that a link is safe.

If you try it, I’d love to hear what felt useful, confusing, or missing. If you’ve used it and found it helpful, an honest Chrome Web Store review is appreciated—but there’s no pressure. Reviews should come from genuine users, with no incentives.
