- A scrolling bar for US and Indian stocks: Realitime US & Indian Stock Prices Toolbar.
- A popup with NSE/BSE on the free plan, plus alerts and a portfolio view on Pro: PulseTrack Pro.
- A bar at the top or bottom of every page with NSE and BSE stocks, Nifty 50 and Sensex in a free watchlist: InvestFellow.
How Indian tickers are written
Extensions don't all write symbols the same way. In InvestFellow you search a company name or symbol and pick the result, so you don't need to know the format. You'll see it in the results, though:
| What you want | Symbol in InvestFellow's search |
|---|---|
| Reliance Industries on NSE | RELIANCE.NS |
| TCS on NSE / on BSE | TCS.NS / TCS.BO |
| Nifty 50 index | ^NSEI (shown as NIFTY 50) |
| Sensex | ^BSESN (shown as S&P BSE SENSEX) |
.NS means the NSE listing and .BO means BSE. Pick one per company, or the bar shows the same stock twice.
The extensions
Tickertape - Nifty 50 Price Change
Published by ratankumar.org. Per its listing, it shows the Nifty 50's move from the previous close on the extension icon, green when it's up and red when it's down, and updates during market hours. That's the whole extension, and that's the point: no panel, no watchlist.
Where it fits: you only care about the index and want it in the corner of your screen.
Market Ticker
Per its listing, Market Ticker puts a draggable panel over any web page, or a slim mini bar with up to 4 pinned symbols. It lists NSE and BSE stocks plus NIFTY 50 and SENSEX, and you can search by name or symbol (its FAQ uses RELIANCE, TCS and INFY as examples). The watchlist holds up to 15 symbols. Prices refresh every 5 seconds in the tab you're viewing and about once a minute in background tabs. It needs no account and says it has no premium tier.
Where it fits: you want a free, fast-refreshing panel with Indian and global markets in one list.
Realitime US & Indian Stock Prices Toolbar
Per its listing, this adds a scrolling toolbar to all websites, at the top or bottom, with four color themes and search to add or remove stocks. It covers NYSE, NASDAQ and NSE stocks (BSE isn't mentioned), needs no account, and says it's free "with premium customization options". The listing doesn't state a refresh rate or alerts.
Where it fits: you mostly follow US and NSE stocks and want a plain scrolling bar.
PulseTrack Pro
Per its listing, PulseTrack Pro is a toolbar popup that tracks stocks on several exchanges, including NSE and BSE, and indices including NIFTY 50. Prices refresh every 30 to 60 seconds. The free plan covers 2 tickers on US, NSE and BSE. Pro is $2.99 a month or $29.99 a year for 15 tickers, price alerts, charts and a portfolio view with P&L, and Lifetime is $149.99 once for 20 tickers.
Where it fits: you hold a few Indian stocks, want alerts and P&L in one popup, and are fine paying for Pro.
InvestFellow
InvestFellow (our extension) adds a ticker bar to the top or bottom of the pages you browse. Search "Quotes to monitor" for a company or index, pick the NSE or BSE result, and it joins the bar. The bar and watchlist are free and cover stocks, ETFs, indices and futures, so Nifty 50, Sensex and NSE or BSE stocks all fit on the free plan. Free prices refresh every 2 minutes and can be delayed. Free users also get one AI insight to try.
Premium ($4.99 a month after a 7-day trial) adds a 4-second refresh, price alerts, crypto, market movers and AI insights. No account is needed for either.
Where it's weaker: there's no portfolio or P&L view, no import, and it's closed source. It's listed for Chrome and Edge, and it also works in other Chromium browsers such as Brave.
Where it fits: you want Indian and US tickers in one bar on every page without opening a popup.
