   In your case, Extension.js can help by managing the configuration details that are usually overlooked in general web development. After copying a few files from the Chrome extension documentation site, you'll need to manually enable &q

   That's interesting, what do you mean? An abstraction for the manifest apply dev defaults or instructions on how each major part should work?

    Extension.js can help you creating a new extension using React in no time: npx extension create my-react-extension --template=react But I guess it doesn't make it any easier to modify the behavior of fancy modern web sites :_(

    No worries :) but Chrome and Edge are indeed different browsers. Support for Firefox and Safari is next.

    Thanks a lot! You can run your Mozilla Add-On on Chrome or Edge by adding a --polyfill flag, but for now you need to manually add the extension to Firefox. I do plan to support Firefox in the near future, but no browser runner available at
