Chrome Extensions

Build production-quality Chrome extensions using Manifest V3 and publish them to the Chrome Web Store.

Part 1 — Building Extensions

Mandatory Rules

These address the most common causes of broken extensions. Violating any produces a non-functional build.

1. Icons: only reference files you create — or omit icons entirely

❌ BROKEN — referencing files that don't exist or reusing one file for all sizes:
   "icons": { "16": "icon.png", "48": "icon.png", "128": "icon.png" }

✅ CORRECT — each size is a separate file at the correct pixel dimensions:
   "icons": { "16": "icons/icon-16.png", "48": "icons/icon-48.png", "128": "icons/icon-128.png" }
   (where icon-16.png is 16×16px, icon-48.png is 48×48px, icon-128.png is 128×128px)
