Chrome Extensions
Chrome Extensions are small software programs that customize and enhance the functionality of the Google Chrome web browser. They are built using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and can modify web pages, add features, or interact with browser APIs to improve user experience. Extensions are distributed through the Chrome Web Store and run in a sandboxed environment for security.
Developers should learn Chrome Extensions to build tools that extend browser capabilities for tasks like web scraping, productivity enhancements, or integrating with web services. It's particularly useful for creating custom debugging tools, ad blockers, password managers, or integrations with platforms like GitHub or Slack, allowing developers to tailor the browsing experience to specific workflows.
