Skip the time reading outdated, unsupported documentation from multiple sources and get started with development immediately.
I wrote this book to be the guide I wish I had when we were creating Bugflow's browser extension. Even with 15 years of JavaScript experience, I struggled sifting through the browser extension documentation.
I kept running into questions like:
- How do I structure my extension?
- Where should I add this feature?
- How should do I communicate to my background script?
- What is a background service worker.
- Why doesn't this work in Firefox?
- How do I interact with the page?
All these questions will be answered, along with a lot more tutorials about what you can add to your browser extension.
Whether you are just curious on how browser extensions work or have an extension you want to create, we will guide you through the process every step of the way.
I've also created vanilla Javascript, Vue 3, and React based templates to help. Upon purchase of the book, you can immediately pull one or all of these templates from GitHub and get started.
As long as you have a familiarity with JavaScript, the development will be the easy part. The book will guide you through the challenging sections. By the end, you will have an extension works on all four major browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari.
