Floating Button

A floating button on every page so you can open Helperbird in one tap — ideal for kiosk mode or when the browser toolbar is hidden.

Open Helperbird From Any Page

The floating button puts Helperbird one tap away — a small button that sits on top of every website, so you can open Helperbird without hunting for the toolbar icon. It's perfect for kiosk mode, locked-down devices, or anyone who just wants quicker access.

Learn how to use the floating button

  • Shortcuts - Open Helperbird and trigger features straight from the keyboard.
  • Immersive Reader - A distraction-free reading view for any page.
  • Reading Mode - Strip a page back to clean, readable text.

What You Get

Always within reach: A floating button on every page, so Helperbird is never more than a tap away.

Choose its position: Place the button on the left or right to suit how you work.

Great for kiosks: When the browser toolbar is hidden — in ChromeOS kiosk or locked mode — the floating button gives students a reliable way to open Helperbird.


Who Uses This

Students who want one-tap access without searching for the extension icon.

Anyone who finds the toolbar icon fiddly to reach.


Admin Controls

Admins can turn the floating button on for everyone using managed JSON policy — ideal for kiosk and locked-mode deployments where the browser toolbar is unavailable.

Is This Free?

Let me tell you, I didn't know how badly I needed this until I got it. It was much like when I got glasses, I had just assumed that was how everyone saw the world...then it wasn't. Thank you Helperbird for the efforts you put forth in this lovely extension for everyone to use. The fact that you can use so much on the free just goes to show that this is something to help aid people not just some money grab. However with the pricing it still couldn't be a money grab. Thank you all again for the efforts you put forth so others can enjoy the internet more fully.
