Better Canvas Chrome Extensions for Canvas LMS

Yes, but start with one at a time. Extensions that modify the same parts of Canvas (like the dashboard or sidebar) may conflict. Test each one individually before combining.

All 5 extensions listed on this page are free to install from the Chrome Web Store. Some, including BetterCampus, operate on a freemium model with optional paid tiers for advanced features. Check each store listing for current pricing and feature details.

Most work on common Canvas domains, but compatibility depends on your school's configuration. Check each extension's store page for supported domains and known limitations.

BetterCampus is the broadest in scope — it bundles dashboard customization, dark mode, to-dos, and GPA tools, so it overlaps with Canvas Dark Mode (dark theme), Tasks for Canvas (dashboard and to-do area), and Canvas GPA Calculator (grade calculation). Canvas Analytics overlaps with Canvas GPA Calculator on grade calculations. Canvas Dark Mode is the most isolated single-purpose option — it rarely conflicts with other extensions.

No. All extensions listed here are independent projects published on the Chrome Web Store. They are not developed, endorsed, or maintained by Instructure (the company behind Canvas LMS) or any educational institution. Always review permissions and privacy policies before installing.

Canvas occasionally updates its interface, which can break extensions that modify the page. If this happens, check the extension's store page for updates, read recent reviews for reports, or temporarily disable the extension until a fix is released. Extensions with larger user bases and recent updates are generally more likely to be patched quickly.
