I love **Search Console’s Compare** view.  
I hate doing the maths.

Every time I wanted to compare periods, I ended up copy/pasting numbers into a spreadsheet or doing mental arithmetic just to understand basic deltas. Fun the first time, boring the 50th.

So I built a tiny Chrome extension to scratch that itch.

## What it does


The **Search Console Compare Overlay** extension adds an extra layer of information directly on top of the Compare view scorecards:

- Absolute change per metric (Clicks, Impressions, CTR, Position)
- Percentage change per metric
- Follows the same “active / inactive” styling as Search Console
- Works automatically on the Compare view once installed

No exports. No formulas. Just open Compare view and read the numbers.

## Install it for free

If you try it and have feedback or ideas for v2, I’d love to hear from you.
