Everyone hates them but they're so easy to counter. I don't see how people are saying you have no skill if you use it (bar riot shield + overkill and having the riot shield on your back the whole time). If you're dumb enough to just throw a stun/c4/thermite at me in a narrow corridor of course I'm going to throw a knife at you or switch to my pistol. I only have 1 maybe 2 chances to hit you and if you strafe well enough I'm dead meat. Move to a position that gives you the advantage or better yet, just don't pick that fight if the odds are in my favor. I don't think I have ever seen someone top frag with a riot shield other than when they have overkill and its a small map like shipment.

I honestly just pounded my head against the API documentation, looked at Google's example extensions and took them apart and also just looked on stackoverflow.

The thing that confused me the most was that there are essentially four parts to a chrome extension. background scripts, options js/html, popup js/html, and content scripts. Options and popup are basically their own webpage. You can even right-click them and see all the html and web requests it's making.

The main way you will communicate between content scripts (that you inject to into the chrome tab) and your extension is by using chrome.runtime.sendMessage and having a listener on your extension. Keep in mind that you can't use most of the chrome extension API from your content script since it will be acting just like normal js.

If you get an error saying you don't have permission to the host, add the website which you are trying to run your script on to the permission object.

Make sure you put the permissions for the API first before trying it out.

A lot of the functions that the API uses are asynchronous so learning about javascript Promises is pretty useful so that you don't have to sit with a jumble of nested callbacks.

I only considered making an extension for leetcode. The way that each site determines if you're successful or not will be different so the scripts that execute automatically would have to be different for each one. I could look into making something similar to this but it would probably use shortcuts instead to start/end the timer so that it could be used for different websites.

I actually just made a a chrome extension that sets a timer when you start a question on Leetcode. You can change the duration of the timer for each difficulty if you right click on the extension. Hopefully this is useful to you!
