Browser extension

Flip The Coin App

Install the extension and flip a coin from any tab. Same physics as the game in flipthecoin.app, same fairness. No data tracking, only sharing fun for math enthusiasts!

Flip The Coin – Browser Extension

Cannot decide between two options? Flip a coin — without leaving the tab you're on.

The Flip The Coin browser extension puts the same 3D coin from flipthecoin.app one click away in your toolbar. Click the icon, hit Flip the coin, let fate decide.

What it does

  • Opens a compact popup (360×460) with the full 3D coin scene.
  • A single Flip the coin button triggers the flip with the exact same physics as the web app — we share the animation code between both, so the coin feels identical wherever you use it.
  • Shows the result (Heads, Tails, or the occasional Edge) as soon as the coin settles.
  • That's it. No tracking, no analytics, no network calls, no permissions.

Prefer to flip without installing anything? Try the coin flip game in the browser — same physics, same coin.
