How to Create Your Own Browser Extension

this is a great side project, however i have too many and i didnt finish even one

I always though that the process of creating browser extension was too complex but turns of it’s not that complex. May be it’s time I should give it a go.

🤩 Totally agree that creating a browser extension isn’t as complicated as it seems I started with a simple <code>manifest.json</code> and some basic JS, and now I’ve got a functional extension that’s actually useful 😊

Just wow! Its not complicated as I thought.
