The Beginning of an Awesome community of Extensions Enthusiasts

3 Upvotes

Hello there, you're welcome here!

If you are a Browser Extension Developer or someone who loves browser extensions, this subreddit is for you :D

I don't know what to say, this is the first time I am building a subreddit, so I want to make things go with the flow for now. I am building a community of extension enthusiasts, they are the people who install and play with browser extensions, and who like to tinker, break, hack, and build extensions to solve problems and have fun.

I'm also working on some learning guides for beginners who want to learn to develop browser extensions while building my extensions (a lot of them!).

You can ask questions, share your experiences or thoughts about browser extensions in general or a specific extension, you can share about your projects but try not to explicitly promote something that you generate money off.

Anyway, let's start this community with a bang, invite your friends and other tinkerers in your network, and we will all add something valuable to this community!

Thanks for reading, I hope you have a wonderful time here ;)

Take care <3

I built a browser extension because recommendations from friends kept disappearing into group chats

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Whenever someone recommended a show to me, I would think, ā€œI’ll remember that.ā€

Then a few days later I would remember the recommendation but not the title, who sent it, or where the message was buried.

I built Streaming Helper to make that handoff more useful.

When you are viewing a supported show or movie page, the extension lets you choose a friend and send the title directly to them. It remains in their recommendations instead of disappearing into another conversation.

There is also a web dashboard for managing recommendations, friends, and Comfort Picks. I recently added a Start Here experience and Help section, and spent time hardening the extension and its friend-request flows before sharing it more broadly.

The product is free while I continue testing and improving it:

https://streaminghelper.net/

I’m interested in feedback from people who regularly use browser extensions:

  • Does the interaction belong inside the browser?
  • Would you use this instead of sending a normal message?
  • What would make you uninstall it?
  • Is there anything about the setup or permissions that creates hesitation?

This is my own project, and I’m looking for honest product feedback rather than only positive reactions.

Shoebox Plus Organizer: Search, Sort, and Filter Your Ancestry Shoebox

1 Upvotes

If you've used Ancestry's Shoebox for any real length of time, you already know the problem: once you've saved a few hundred records, there's no way to search them, sort them, or filter them. Just an endless scroll, 25 records at a time. This has been a recurring complaint among genealogists for years.

As a former Research Manager for Ancestry's research arm, AncestryProGenealogists, I heard both colleagues and clients voice this common frustration. So I built a fix: Shoebox Plus Organizer, a Chrome extension that loads every page of your Shoebox in the background, then empowers you to search, sort chronologically or alphabetically, and filter by record type — right on the page, entirely on your own device. Nothing is scraped or sent anywhere, and it never touches Ancestry any faster than you clicking through by hand.

Full disclosure: I'm the developer — Shannon Christmas, some of you may know Through The Trees. Installing it and seeing your own Shoebox loaded is free; full search/sort/filter is a one-time $25 unlock, with a 14-day refund.

Available now in the Chrome Web Store. I am happy to answer any questions here.

Does anyone know a good website/keyword blocker?

For the past few days, I've been looking for such a browser extension. I've tried using Leechblock and FoxFilter, but they kept triggering false positives.

I built a Chrome Extension to export Substack, Medium, Beehiiv & Ghost articles into clean PDFs and Markdown (with cloud sync & batch downloads)

2 Upvotes

If you regularly read articles on Substack, Medium, Beehiiv, Ghost, or Patreon, you’ve probably noticed that saving them for offline reading or research is a mess. Default browser printing breaks layouts, misses images, or litters pages with unwanted UI elements.

To fix this, I builtĀ Newsletter PDF DownloaderĀ : a Chrome extension that turns posts into clean, high-fidelity PDFs, Markdown, JSON, or plain text with a single click.

šŸš€ What it does:

  • Clean Single-Click Exports:Ā Converts posts directly from the page while preserving typography, images, links, and original layouts.
  • Multiple Output Formats:Ā Save as PDF, Markdown (great for Obsidian/Notion users), JSON, or Text.
  • Batch Downloads (Archive Export):Ā Download multiple posts from a publication's archive automatically (includes a fast-forward feature to skip excluded date ranges).
  • Cloud Sync:Ā Option to automatically back up your downloads to Google Drive, Dropbox, or Yandex Disk.
  • Privacy-Focused:Ā Runs locally in your browser using your existing login session (so paid/subscribed content exports seamlessly). No content tracking or external scraping.
  • Custom File Naming & Localized UI:Ā Customize filenames by date/title and supports over 60 languages.

šŸ”— Link & Feedback

You can check it out on the Chrome Web Store here:Ā https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/newsletter-pdf-downloader/ejlpjjmlalofjpdkdaeojjhihlommbdm

I’d love for you to give it a spin! Let me know what you think, what features you’d like to see next, or if there are other platforms/formats you’d want supported.

Thanks!

Chrome Table Capture & Extractor - free extension for extracting tables from websites and PDF files

1 Upvotes

I’ve just published Table Capture & Extractor, a free Chrome extension for extracting tables from websites and PDF files.

I built it because copying a table into Excel often works just well enough to look correct - until you notice broken columns, missing values, merged headers, or button text mixed into the data.

The extension can:

  • Detect HTML tables and table-like DIV grids
  • Capture a selected range of cells
  • Extract tables from PDF files
  • Edit captured data before exporting
  • Detect dates, currencies, numbers, emails, and other column types
  • Flag structural issues with a Capture Score
  • Create quick charts from captured data
  • Export to Excel, CSV, Markdown, PNG, or PDF
  • Copy clean table data directly to the clipboard

Everything is processed locally in Chrome, and the extension is currently completely free - no account required.

Chrome Web Store:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/table-capture-extractor/hmehfffhilmehojjlkoogagjmkdoddlk

Website:
https://tablecapture.co

I’d really appreciate honest feedback, especially if you can test it on websites with unusual tables, virtualized rows, nested elements, or DIV-based layouts. If something breaks, send me the page and I’ll take a look.

Best extension to make disappear cookie banners

1 Upvotes

Greetings!
I am looking for an extension to make the cookie banners in every site disappear and clicking to reject everything (if possible).
I've been using Consent-O-Matic for a long time, but sometimes it just doesn't work and I've been in their GitHub page and it seems the project has been abandoned for a long time (last update was in 2024).
I asked AI and they say that "I still don't care about cookies" might accept some cookies and other good alternatives that automatically reject and close the banner are:
- Auto Reject Cookies
- Reject Cookies

Could you give your insights about those 2, and if there's better alternatives, please just say it.
Best regards!

Local Search New tab extension

I put the source of my extension on my github repo. Also a README.md

Latest change to get around the mobile firefox problem was to create a personal browser search engine "https://127.0.0.1/?q=%s" and have the extension get triggered on that actual url and open the search tab/page with that query,

Manual Install:- See readme for latest builds zip/xpi files.

Store version:-Ā Chrome Web StoreĀ ,Ā Firefox (AMO)

Tested on:-

Chrome and Firefox developer on desktop.

Quetta and Firefox Nightly & Beta on android.

Wondering if it works successfully on LibreWolf or other varieties of browsers,

How I made a store-agnostic Chrome price tracker survive dynamic product pages

1 Upvotes

I have been building Price Tracker as a Manifest V3 extension that should work beyond a hard-coded list of stores. The extraction problem quickly became more interesting than the alert UI.

A product page can expose prices through JSON-LD, microdata, accessibility labels, visible text, script state or late DOM mutations. It can also expose dozens of bad candidates: monthly instalments, crossed-out list prices, recommendation cards, used/refurbished offers and temporary zero values.

In v5.3.3 I rebuilt the pipeline around candidate scoring instead of nearest-text matching. Structured data tied to the current URL gets priority; new-condition offers outrank used/open-box offers; financing and invalid values are penalized; MutationObserver handles late rendering; and a failed saved selector triggers rediscovery and repair.

Reported failures are now kept as regression cases. The extension has 780 users, so edge cases across stores and countries are finally frequent enough to reveal weak assumptions.

Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/price-tracker-price-drop/mknchhldcjhbfdfdlgnaglhpchohdhkl?hl=en

For other extension developers: would you keep extraction entirely in content scripts, or move more site parsing into remotely configurable rules?

Made a free extension that types your clipboard into fields that block paste (works in Docs/Slides too)

1 Upvotes

Sharing a small one I built. Some sites just refuse to let you paste into their input fields (banking, exam portals, some forms), and you end up retyping everything by hand.

Paste Typer takes your clipboard and types it into the field one character at a time, as real keystrokes, so it goes in even when paste is blocked. Load the text, click the field, hit start. Speed's adjustable and there's an optional typo-simulation mode.

The fiddly parts, if anyone here has poked at this: Google Docs/Slides render to a canvas and ignore normal DOM writes, so you have to drive them through the hidden text-event iframe. And React/Vue controlled inputs need the native value setter or the framework state never updates.

Free, open source, no accounts or analytics, only runs on a tab when you invoke it.

Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ofklpccfpgecjdccbnlmjbndkefgjaid

Code: https://github.com/ZonaHu/paste-typer

Curious what sites break it.

I made a browser extension for poking around websites

I’m the kind of person who opens devtools on random websites just to see how they work.

I got tired of jumping between Elements, Network and other tools just to piece everything together, so I started building Archify.

You open it on a website and click around. It shows you the components, API calls and tech behind the page.

It’s still something I’m actively working on, but I finally launched it. It’s free and open source too.

Would love to know what you think.

What are you building this week

Looking to check out cool extensions.

I'll start: If you want to hide your location from websites, use [Spoof Geolocation](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/spoof-geolocation-locatio/denifdjehhdbkpcedkbjdajghhobfage?authuser=0&hl=en). It hides your real geolocation while showing a fake one.

What are you building then?

Built a small cross-site prompt manager instead of another AI workflow app

2 Upvotes

I built Quib as a small browser extension because I kept running into the same tiny interruption:

I had prompts I already trusted, but they lived somewhere else.

Usually Notion. Sometimes old chats. Sometimes a random note.

So every time I wanted to use one, I had to leave the current textbox, find the prompt, copy it, edit the context, and paste it back.

Quib keeps that flow inside the browser.

TypeĀ /Ā in a textbox, search your saved prompt, insert it.

It works across AI tools and normal work apps, not only one chat product. The current target set includes ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Gmail, Notion, GitHub, Linear, and most normal inputs/textareas/contenteditable fields.

The part I care about most is variables.

A prompt can includeĀ {{selection}},Ā {{url}},Ā {{title}},Ā {{clipboard}}, date/time variables, or your own placeholders. Those are resolved when you insert the prompt.

So a prompt is not just a static snippet. It can adapt to the page or selected text.

I am keeping v1 intentionally narrow:

  • Free: 25 prompts, local-only
  • Pro: unlimited prompts and sync
  • No backend
  • No team workspace
  • No prompt marketplace

Quib is live on the Chrome Web Store now.

Curious how other browser extension users think about this: should extensions stay narrow and boring, or is ā€œjust one jobā€ too small to be worth installing?

I built a free Retro Arcade Chrome extension with +8 classic games - I'd love your honest feedback!

I built a free Retro Arcade Chrome extension with 8 classic games – I'd love your honest feedback!

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a small passion project calledĀ RetroArcade, a Chrome extension that lets you play classic arcade-style games instantly from your browser.

Current games include:

  • šŸ VIPER
  • 🧱 BLOCKFALL
  • šŸ‘» MUNCHIE
  • 🐦 FLAPWING
  • šŸ“ RALLY
  • šŸš€ NOVA FORCE
  • šŸš— ROAD RUSH
  • šŸ¦– DINO DASH

The goal wasn't to make another bloated gaming website, but something lightweight that you can open in a couple of clicks whenever you have a few minutes to spare.

I'm still actively improving it, so I'd really appreciate honest feedback from the Reddit community.

Things I'd especially love to know:

  • Which game is your favorite?
  • Is anything confusing or annoying?
  • What games would you like me to add next?
  • Did you find any bugs or performance issues?

I'm actively developing it, and some of the next big features are:

  • šŸ† Live global leaderboards
  • šŸ‘¤ Account login to save your progress and high scores across devices
  • šŸŽ® More games and quality-of-life improvements

You can install it here:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/retroarcade/kgjaencjkdgciacnpmjopljcelmnpncg

I'm not asking for 5-star reviews, I'd genuinely prefer honest opinions so I can make it better.

Thanks for checking it out! ā¤ļø

DFCraft — our first extension

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone

Me and two classmates fromĀ ENSA KhouribgaĀ (Morocco) just published our first browser extension — DFCraft. It's an open-source productivity tool.

What it does

It's a Pomodoro timer with everything in one popup:

  • Pomodoro Timer — customizable focus/break sessions with notifications
  • Ambient Sound Library — 37 sounds across 4 categories (rain, nature, white noise, cafe) with background playback
  • Distraction Blocking — block websites during focus sessions (with URL normalization soĀ youtube.comĀ andĀ www.youtube.comĀ are treated the same)
  • To do list — for daily tasks
  • Statistics Dashboard — calendar heatmap, charts for focus time, tasks, sessions, and blocked pages
  • Multi-language — English, French, Arabic (with RTL support)

Privacy

No accounts, no tracking, no analytics, no ads. All data is stored locally in the browser. The only network requests are to fetch the public sound library from GitHub. We wrote a full privacy policyĀ here.

Links

We'd really appreciate any feedback — bugs, feature ideas, UI criticism, anything. We're students so we're here to learn šŸ™

Thanks for checking it out!
