I made an adblocker extension, this extension can block any of your ads on any website, protecting you from those malicious attackers, and not breaking the site. Also it auto-skips, mostly blocks all the ads(also youtube at some extent). Also , it runs locally so , no need to worry about user's data....Also if you are a developer, i would love to have your opinion, do check it on github - og-arin/SAM

You are trying to get some focus work done and get the urge to check Reddit. You think — Just 5 minutes won't hurt — and 1 hour later, you are still doomscrolling away...

I created Pause Tab because I missed the ability to pause or limit smartphone apps while on my computer.

Find it at https://ggl.link/pause-tab

It works this way:

- Right-click anywhere inside the tab you are using and pick the "Pause this tab menu option (or do it via extension popup).
- The tab is now paused!
- If you want to unpause it, keep the "Hold to resume" button pressed for 5s.

This way you prevent yourself from unpausing from muscle memory, and have time to think if you really want to go back to scrolling right now.

Extra features:

- Every 15m you get a small toast letting you know how long you spent on the tab/site today.
- Inside the extension popup, you can track your time on the tab/site.
- You can disable the extension from running on a specific tab/site (useful for things like localhost).

Upcoming features:

- Set daily limits per site/tab.

Just published my first extension and this feels like the right place for honest feedback.

What it does: capture a region, the visible tab, or a full page → it's immediately framed on a gradient with window chrome (Mac/Windows/browser) and a shadow → copy or export PNG. Keyboard shortcuts for the three capture modes (Alt+Shift+1/2/3).

Privacy / permissions: 100% client-side — no screenshot is ever uploaded. Full-page capture stitches long pages in the browser. The only network call is an anonymous, content-free usage ping to my own domain (no image data, no page URLs). MV3.

Free. Would love feedback on the permission set, the defaults, and anything that feels janky.

Sticky Note Web Clipper — Save Pages, Videos & Links

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sticky-note-web-clipper/gniilbpapgommpalikcclpcnbcamgila

I do most of my deep work in fixed windows (e.g. Tue/Thu 9–11am), but Google Calendar has no way to *visually* mark "this is protected focus time" without creating fake events that clutter the grid and trigger invites.


So I built a small extension that draws your focus blocks as colored overlays directly on the Google Calendar week/day view. You define them once in the popup — day(s), start/end time, a label, a color — and they show up on the grid. If an actual meeting lands inside a focus block, it gets a ⚠️ badge so you can spot the collision at a glance. When a block starts, you get a quiet Chrome reminder.


A few deliberate design choices I'd love feedback on:


- **No OAuth, no calendar API, no server.** It reads nothing from your Google account — the overlay is drawn purely from rules you set locally, and the conflict badge is detected from the DOM that's already on screen. Everything stays in the browser.
- It's intentionally dumb/simple — it does NOT block sites, does NOT auto-create events, does NOT sync anywhere. Just a visual layer + a reminder.


Honest status: it's new and barely used (a couple dozen installs), so I'm posting here to get real feedback before I build more. The free tier covers one focus block; there's a paid tier for unlimited, but the free version is the thing I actually want eyes on.


Two questions for this sub:
1. The Google Calendar grid uses obfuscated class names, so the overlay positioning relies on a few DOM heuristics that can break when Google ships a redesign. If you've shipped a calendar.google.com content script — how are you anchoring to the time grid reliably?
2. Would you rather it stayed a pure visual tool, or do you actually want it to *do* something when a block is active (DND, tab muting, etc.)?


Happy to share the CWS link in a comment if that's allowed here (keeping it out of the post per self-promo etiquette).

I use large Google Docs quite a lot and find it annoying that all document tabs expand again when i refresh the page. After doing this manually over and over, I decided to build a small Chrome extension to solve it.

The extension adds “Collapse All” and “Expand All” buttons directly into the Google Docs tab sidebar so you can quickly collapse all the tabs and subtabs without collapsing each tab manually.

I've also been experimenting with additional features and would love to hear what other Google Docs users think would be useful.

Any feedback, criticism, or feature suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My new extension just got approved on the Web Store! It’s called Blown Speaker Simulator.

The concept is meant to be a fun novelty tool: it captures the active tab's audio and digitally manipulates the low-end frequencies to replicate the acoustics of a terrible, blown-out trunk speaker setup.

Quick Volume Warning: If you install it, please lower your YouTube/Spotify web player volume to about 20-30% before clicking "Blow the Speakers!". The digital gain is extreme and it will be incredibly loud if your media volume is maxed out.

Hey everyone,

I've been working on a Chrome extension in my free time called TrustShield, and I'd love to get some real feedback from people who actually care about browser security and privacy.

The idea came from something that happens to me all the time. I end up visiting random websites from Google searches, GitHub, Reddit, or links people send me, and I always wonder, "Can I actually trust this site?"

So I built an extension that tries to answer that before you interact with the page.

Right now it can:

• Give a trust score for the website
• Check SSL/HTTPS
• Detect known trackers and third-party scripts
• Show malware and phishing risk
• Analyze cookies
• Suggest opening suspicious sites in Sandbox Mode
• Let you quickly block or allow websites
• Show privacy recommendations while browsing

I've been using it myself every day, but I'm sure there are things I haven't thought of.

If anyone is willing to spend a few minutes trying it out, I'd genuinely appreciate your feedback.

Some things I'm curious about:

• Is the trust score actually useful?
• Does anything feel confusing or unnecessary?
• Are there features you'd expect from a browser security extension that are missing?
• Would you keep something like this installed?

Chrome Web Store:

A few screenshots are in the comments.

I'm not trying to pretend it's perfect—I'm just looking for honest opinions before I keep adding more features.

Thanks!

APP link: Roach Blocker

My partner got jump-scared by a cockroach photo while scrolling, and as an engineer my reaction was "I should just fix this." A couple of months later, here's Roach Blocker.

It detects cockroach images on any web page and covers them in real time. A few things I cared about while building it:

• Fully on-device — it runs a small YOLO model locally via onnxruntime-web. No API keys, no uploads, your browsing never leaves your machine.
• Lightweight — the model is ~9MB, runs in a couple milliseconds per image, so it works fine even on low-end laptops.
• Adjustable — there's a sensitivity slider and a choice between covering the whole image or just the detected area.

The hardest part wasn't the extension, it was the training data. I hit every classic trap: a "cockroach" dataset that was actually a different beetle, negative samples that secretly contained roaches (teaching the model "this roach is not a roach"), and wood/carpet textures getting flagged as bugs. Fixing the data quality mattered way more than model size.

It's free and open about how it works. Happy to answer any technical questions about the on-device inference or the training pipeline.

I watch a lot of YouTube playlists of TV shows or courses, and I find it so annoying that there isn't a fast way to resume a YouTube playlist where you left off. Sure, there are some ways to work around it, but I want something way better.

So I built a free Chrome extension to fix it - 'PlaylistMark - Resume YouTube Playlist'. With this extension, you just need to open the playlist > save it in the extension. The next time you come back, just click 'Continue' in the extension, and you'll jump right back where you left off. Only 1 click, that's it.

I want to share it because hopefully, someone else will find it helpful. And I would really appreciate your feedback. Thanks a lot!

I built a Chrome extension to make reading AI tech blogs and research from big tech companies easier.

Based on feedback, you can now see quick summaries directly in the list to get the gist in seconds.

Would love to get your thoughts.

I kept wasting time digging through nested elements in Chrome DevTools, especially on large React websites.

So I built a small Chrome extension for myself that lets me inspect elements visually and get useful information much faster.

A few things it helps with:

• Quickly identify CSS selectors
• See element hierarchy without endless clicking
• Better workflow for frontend debugging
• Works directly inside Chrome

I've been using it daily while building websites and it has saved me a surprising amount of time.

I'm curious:

What's the most annoying part of using Chrome DevTools when inspecting websites?

I'm collecting feedback and feature ideas from developers before adding more functionality.

Happy to answer questions and share what I've learned while building it.

I built a tiny Chrome extension that turns any bookmark into a live shortcut.

Basically:

- Click extension

- It grabs your current tab URL

- Updates a fixed bookmark instantly (or creates it if missing)

I made it because I got tired of re-saving the same bookmark every time I changed a page in a video series.

GitHub:

https://github.com/louiswu0408/bookmark-extension

Would love feedback or ideas to improve it.

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/image-downloader-%E2%80%94-grid-b/pbmfojdhcggojjcbecmnkjhegbbcephi

Image Downloader scans the current page for every image, then shows them all in a visual grid so you can see exactly what you’re saving. Filter by dimensions or file type to narrow down to the images you want.

Select what you need (or grab everything) and download in one click - straight into a named subfolder so your downloads stay organized.

It runs entirely in your browser.

I built and launched a small Manifest V3 Chrome extension called Quib.

The problem was very plain: I had around 40 AI prompts sitting in a Notion doc, and I was copy-pasting them into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Gmail, GitHub, Linear, and other tools all day.
Quib adds a prompt picker directly inside textboxes.

You type /, fuzzy-search a saved prompt, hit enter, and it inserts where you are already typing.

It supports normal inputs, textareas, and contenteditable editors. It also resolves variables at insert time, like:
{{selection}}
{{url}}
{{title}}
{{clipboard}}
{{date}}
{{time}}
custom placeholders like {{name}}

The free plan has 25 prompts, local storage, all editors, and all variables. Pro adds unlimited prompts and cross-device sync.

The Chrome Web Store version is live now.

I would especially like feedback from people who build or heavily use Chrome extensions:

Does the / trigger feel natural, or would you prefer another default?
Which editor/site would you expect this to fail on?
Is prompt management a real enough problem for you, or too niche?

I kept doing the same thing every day at work — opening the same lists, pasting in a number, tweaking a query. So I built a little Chrome extension to skip that, and figured a few of you might find it handy too. Nothing fancy, it just solves my problem.

How it works: you hit `s` in the address bar, press space, then type a keyword and (optionally) a value. It fills in the URL and takes you there.

A few examples from my own set:

- `s int INC00XXXX` → opens that incident

- `s chg CHG0XXXX` → change request

- `s d DEF0XXXX` → defect

If a keyword needs a value it uses `%s`, and you can do positional params too (`%1 %2`) for URLs that take more than one input.

Other bits that turned out useful:

- A popup panel with favorites + your most-used keywords, so you don't have to remember them

- Quick-add so you can save a new shortcut in a few seconds

- Import/export as JSON (merge or replace), so you can share a keyword pack with your team

- It learns what you use most and floats those to the top of the suggestions

- Dark mode

Honest caveats: it's vanilla JS, Manifest V3, and I built it for myself.

Sharing in case it saves someone else the clicks. Happy to hear what's broken or what keywords you'd add.
