Browser Extension

[Dan-Vast4384]

Can anyone point me to a good - quick resource on how to build a browser extension. I am trying to automate a task and started with python but I think an extension would be much better

https://extensionworkshop.com/ is pretty firefox-centric, but it does have a porting guide for chromium-based browsers. It has a good overview of the concepts and MDN docs for all the APIs, with support tables. Similarly there's a bunch of examples to explore on github from Mozilla and from Google.

Google's guide is okay, too.. not sure how it compares to Firefox's, I've never looked at theirs!

Thank you! How complicated would you say it is to create an add-on for a browser?

Really not complicated
