╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
I maintain 90+ open-source repositories for Chrome extension development. Starters, libraries, CLI tools, guides, and production extensions. Everything a developer needs to go from zero to published extension.
Start here if you have never built a Chrome extension.

| MV3 Minimal Starter | Zero-dependency Manifest V3 starter. No build tools, no frameworks |
