Google Flights is one of the most user-friendly tools to search for (cheap) flights. It is not without reason that we have already written detailed instructions and other articles about the site. One of the best functions: For almost every flight, you are shown how much legroom is available or what kind of seat you can expect. E.g. it looks like this:

Unfortunately, the extension is only available for Chrome. You can download it for free via the following link:
After the download, you don’t have to configure anything else, all functions are activated automatically.
Chrome extensions can also be used in the browsers Opera (via add-on) and Microsoft Edge, as well as other Chromium-based browsers.
Further Information
The tool not only helps you find out the legroom. Information on the type of seat (angled flat, standard lie-flat, “suite”) on business class flights is also given a prominent place:
In addition, the following are also displayed:
- Aircraft type
- Sockets / charging ports
- Presence of in-flight entertainment
A lot of information, for which it would normally be necessary to open the connection. Only the other flight data (flight number, transfer time for 2+ transfers) and information about the Wi-Fi are still hidden.
