GlobalClick2Dial – Chrome Extension

Source: github.com/hoivikaj/GlobalClick2Dial

Turns phone numbers on any webpage into clickable links. You choose the link type in the extension settings.

Privacy: The extension reads page text only inside your browser to find US and toll-free (+1) numbers. It does not send page content or phone numbers to any external server.

Chrome Web Store (privacy blurb you can paste): This extension processes page text locally in your browser to detect US and NANP toll-free phone numbers and turn them into dial links. No page content or phone numbers are transmitted to the developer or third-party servers.

Features

• Detects US numbers and NANP toll-free (+1) in common formats (e.g. (201) 555-0123, 800-234-5678, +1 201 555 0123). Other regions (e.g. UK, Canada +1 geographic) are not linked.
• Normalizes matches to E.164 (e.g. +12015550123) using libphonenumber-js.
• Converts them to clickable links using one of:
  • tel: – standard telephone links
  • callto: – Callto / Skype-style
  • zoomphonecall:// – Zoom Phone
  • Custom prefix – e.g. myapp://call/

Settings (Options)

1. Open the extension popup and click Open settings, or right‑click the icon → Options.
2. Link protocol – Choose tel, callto, zoomphonecall, or Custom. For Custom, enter the prefix (e.g. myapp://call/).
3. Domain filter – Blacklist or whitelist sites where the extension runs.

Settings are stored in Chrome sync (if enabled).

Development

Bundles are generated into the gitignored dist/ folder by esbuild. npm ci runs the build automatically via the postinstall script.

npm ci        # installs deps and builds dist/phone-utils.js + dist/content.js
npm run build # rebuild after editing files in src/
npm test      # vitest

manifest.json loads the extension code from dist/, so the folder must exist before Chrome can load the unpacked extension.

Install (developer mode)

1. Run npm ci so dist/phone-utils.js and dist/content.js are produced.
2. Open chrome://extensions/.
3. Turn on Developer mode.
4. Click Load unpacked and select this folder.

When you change anything under src/, re-run npm run build (or npm run dev for watch mode) and click Reload in chrome://extensions/.
