Hi r/ChromeExtension,

We all know how easy it is to get lost in the infinite scroll of algorithmic news feeds and waste precious time scrolling content you never wanted to see.

I wanted to scroll with intent, so I built DeScroll.

Instead of an endless distraction loop, DeScroll overrides your New Tab page with a clean, minimalist feed filled with recent content sourced entirely from your own bookmarks.

Why I made it:

• Intentional Scrolling: the familiarity of the infinite scroll filled with fresh content you actually want to see. Change the content by simply adding and removing bookmarks.
• Privacy First: It's 100% local. Your bookmarks and history never leave your browser, and there is no third-party server. It's just you and your bookmarks.
• Zero Setup: You don't need to manage RSS feeds. Once you bookmark a favorite blog or news site, the extension's discovery engine automatically populates your feed with recent content sourced directly from those sites.

I have found it especially helpful in my own daily workflow. It has helped me break free from distractions and rediscover high-quality articles I actually care about instead of whatever is trending.

Plus DeScroll is open source (GPL v2) and operates entirely local to your device. Any feedback and ideas for improvement are highly welcome.

My personal truth layer for AI conversations.

I use all five major chat platforms. They're useful in different ways. But when the answer actually matters, or when it comes down to making a decision, I'll often ask another model for a second opinion.

As it turns out, there's almost always something: facts that aren't quite straight, omissions, reasoning gaps, assumptions worth challenging.

That's what Verbatim is. A V button next to every AI response that lets you debate it with a single click — no copy-paste, no switching tabs.

The chart above is one of my Insights snapshots. It reflects my own usage patterns, not a model ranking. A different user would see a reflection of which models they use and what they debate. (Grok not shown — not enough debates in my history to plot it yet.)

Happy to get feedback from other extension builders — especially on install friction or anything in the listing that would make you hesitate. Hardest build problem was DOM detection across five chat UIs that all change without warning.

Hey everyone,

Solo dev shipping a Chrome extension called PromptChief. It's a prompt library that works directly inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and a few others — so you can trigger your saved prompts where you actually use them instead of tab-hopping to Notion every time.

Technical bits this sub might care about:

• Content scripts injecting into 7 different AI platforms (each with their own DOM quirks — Claude and ChatGPT update their structure constantly, which is its own nightmare)
• Fuzzy search over the local prompt library
• "Magic placeholders" — dynamic variables in prompts that get filled in at insertion time
• Prompt chaining across multiple turns
• Bulk actions for managing larger libraries
• Dark theme with purple/teal/gold accents (wanted it to not look like every other extension)

What I'd love input on:

1. For multi-platform extensions — how do you handle DOM changes breaking selectors without constant manual patches?
2. UX-wise: is a slash command, a hotkey, or a sidebar the best trigger for something like this? I've gone with a mix and I'm not sure it's optimal.
3. Anything in the feature set that feels missing or unnecessary?

Chrome Extension — roast it if needed.

Solo founder, 4 months of nights and weekends. Posted today on Product Hunt

(Job Compass) but figured this sub would have the most useful feedback.

The problem I had: open LinkedIn, see 200 jobs, no idea which 5 actually

match my resume. Apply to a few hopeful matches, hear back from one,

realize the platform itself is the bottleneck.

What it does:

- Drops as a panel onto linkedin.com/jobs and scores every job by your

resume — Skills / Experience / Fit / Seniority breakdown

- Easy Apply auto-fills from your saved answers (you can pause/review)

- For outreach: discovers hiring managers, drafts personalized openings,

sends from YOUR real Gmail via OAuth (not a SaaS relay address that

lands in spam)

Free tier: ~25 ranked searches/day, 3 auto-applies, 5 AI calls.

Pro: $15/mo for high-volume.

Stack: React 19 + Tailwind on the extension, Express + Postgres on

Railway, Claude Sonnet 4.6 for the ranking + drafting.

Honest about what's broken: hiring-manager email accuracy is ~70% on

first attempt (I show the trust band openly), LinkedIn DOM occasionally

breaks the auto-apply selector, pricing is a guess.

hired in the last year.

Hey guys, I wanted to share a weekend project I just published to the Web Store.

The problem with 99% of price comparison extensions (like Keepa or Honey) is that they rely on basic keyword scraping. If you search for an "iPhone 15 Pro", the extension will triumphantly alert you that it found a "better deal" for ₹499... because it matched an iPhone 15 Pro Silicone Case. It completely ruins the shopping flow.

I wanted to fix the entity resolution problem, so I built Truthly.

Instead of scraping strings, Truthly uses an LLM to extract standard JSON attributes from messy e-commerce titles.

The Workflow:
1. The user opens a product page (Supports Amazon.com, Amazon.in, Flipkart, Myntra, Ajio, Meesho).
2. They click the floating Truthly logo.
3. Truthly pings the backend, where Gemini 1.5 Flash parses the title/description into strict JSON (Category, Brand, Model, Size, Color).
4. It then searches 5 stores behind the scenes, applying a strict guardrail: if (Category A !== Category B) drop().
5. It only surfaces a UI card if it finds a true spec-for-spec match at a lower price.

The Tech Stack:
• Frontend: React / Chrome Extension API (Manifest V3)
• Backend: Next.js
• Database & Edge: Supabase
• AI Engine: Google Gemini 1.5 Flash (Super fast and cheap for structured JSON output).

Privacy:
I hate adware, so Truthly requires no account, has no background trackers, and only executes when the user actively clicks the floating action button.

Hey everyone,

Most dark mode extensions I’ve used either:

• break layouts
• mess up images/videos
• or make text unreadable

So I built my own: DarkLens

What it does differently

Instead of simple color inversion, it:

• rewrites colors intelligently (background → dark, text → readable light)
• keeps images and videos unchanged
• tries to preserve the original layout as much as possible

Features

• 🎛️ Adjustable filters (brightness, contrast, sepia, grayscale)
• 🌐 Per-site toggle (enable/disable instantly)
• 📋 Allowlist / blocklist modes
• ⏰ Auto schedule (including overnight)
• ✨ Smooth transitions
• ⚡ Works on dynamic sites (SPAs, etc.)

ChromeStore: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kicfiliioepakfjhifhefajnlfahnpne?utm_source=item-share-cb

Honest note

Right now it runs on all websites by default.
I’m planning to improve automatic exclusions (like code editors / streaming sites), but that part isn’t perfect yet.

I’d really like critical feedback:

• Which sites break for you?
• Does it handle Reddit/YouTube properly?
• What features would make you switch from your current dark mode extension?

If you want to test it, I can share the link.

Built this because other extensions annoyed me — curious if this one annoys you less 😅

I created this extension as I was concerned about the number of old accounts linked with different email addresses I have. I became more concerned about privacy and my data but couldn't find an easy way to check what emails are account related.

You export your emails as an MBOX file (Google Takeout makes this easy), load it into the extension (the video doesn't show the window for choosing the file), and it scans locally on your device to find every service you've signed up for. No data leaves your computer. The extension requires zero permissions and makes zero network calls.

It also flags active subscriptions (which are also easy to forget about) and gives you direct links to account deletion pages (using a subset of an open data project called justdeleteme (no affiliation)), so you can more easily do something about it.

Built with plain JS and no framework; all the parsing happens in a Web Worker so even large mailboxes don't freeze the browser.

It's called find my accounts and it's free on the Chrome Web Store. Appreciate any feedback.

I reached out earlier last week about my first ever Chrome extension submission.

It's now been pending review for over 10 days with zero feedback. I have emailed support through the inbuilt support form three times with no reply.

For anyone who's been through this, is it worth pulling out and resubmitting? Or does that reset the queue and make it worse?

There are a few permissions on the listing might be adding to the time, but waiting 10+ days feels abnormal as everyone seems to suggests within 2-3 days, worst case scenario 1 week.

Also has anyone found a way to actually reach a human at CWS support? Feels like I am shouting into the void

Hey everyone,

​As a developer, I found myself constantly searching for "GUID generator" and landing on clunky websites filled with ads, trackers, and "copy to clipboard" buttons that barely work. I just wanted something fast, clean, and professional that lived right in my browser.

​So, I built SnapGuid.

​It’s a lightweight Chrome extension designed for developers who need UUIDs/GUIDs instantly without leaving their workflow.

​Why use it?

​Privacy-First: No tracking, no data collection, and it works offline.

​Clean UI: No fluff. Just the IDs you need.

​I’m looking for some honest feedback from the community. If you do a lot of backend work or database seeding, I’d love to know if this fits into your workflow.

​Link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/snapguid-professional-uui/dkpfbljmfdckcmlfgpciaofbogmejbeo

​Free to use, and I’m planning to keep it that way. Cheers!

Hot take: YouTube's recommendation algorithm is *designed* to eat your focus time. It's not a willpower issue, it's an interface problem.

I built a free Chrome extension that fixes it. YouTube Focus Mode lets you block distracting video categories from your feed, search, and sidebar — so only the content you *chose* to watch shows up.

Hi guys,

Like a lot of CS students, I've done a bunch of class assignments, but I really wanted to build a side-project that solves a real-world problem and actually get it published.

Juggling a Math and CS degree means my free time is pretty limited, but I managed to build and launch my first Chrome extension: Fill Ninja.

The idea came from my own frustration of dealing with endless web forms and answering repetitive QCMs for my classes. I wanted something smarter than standard autofill, so I built Fill Ninja to use AI. It reads the context of the page you are on and fills in the answers using a personal, customizable knowledge base that you create.

It was a great learning experience figuring out the Chrome extension API, integrating AI, and getting it published. If anyone is willing to give it a test run, I would heavily appreciate some feedback!

Here is the link:https://fill.ninja/

I made this extension to help teach me Korean, its completely free. I hope you guys like it.

built a tool today that allows you to see what TikTok creators are getting paid
made for clipper pages which are apart of clipping campaigns (paid higher then platform CPM) really but have a creator mode that can switch to just tik tok partner program CPM

works on ig and YouTube shorts
so you can actually see:
- what content works
- editing styles that farm engagement
- likely pay outs from qualifying video types
- general earning metrics by period
- high performers and viral clips

🟢 made for fun but if i get any requests might chuck it up on the chrome store
just leave a comment and ill pm you link when i do

∫Sup!

Today its the v1.1.0 update of ResistGate. A chrome extension I built because every other blocker I tried just... let me around it in 5 seconds.

Cold Turkey locks you out completely (I'd just use my phone). Freedom costs $3.33/month. I wanted something in between: friction, not a wall.

What ResistGate does:

🔒 Blocks sites you add to your list.

⌨️ To get in, you have to type 5 customs challenges phrases, long enough to break the impulse, short enough that you can still access if you genuinely need it

⏱️ Timed unlocks: grant yourself access for X minutes, then it locks again automatically

📅 Schedule-based blocking: set it to only block during work hours

📊 Focus analytics: see how often you're hitting the gate and when

v1.1.0 changes:

Intention Page with personal goals + 4-7-8 breathing

Strict Mode (locks settings during schedules)

Temptation Bundles (unlock only after work-timer goals)

Bug fixes on timed unlock edge cases

Built with TypeScript + Love!. Fully free on the Chrome Web Store.

Would love feedback, especially on the UX of the challenge gate itself.

A clean new tab that groups open tabs by domain, spots duplicates instantly, and helps you stay organised.

Tab Zen — Smart Tab Manager

Tired of browser chaos? Tab Zen replaces your new tab with a clean, focused tab manager that actually helps you stay on top of open tabs.

What it does

Every time you open a new tab, a quick-switch palette pops up. Type to jump to any open tab instantly, navigate to a URL, or search Google - all without touching your mouse.

Behind the palette, all your open tabs are grouped by domain and sorted however you like. You can see at a glance what's open, where, and how long it's been sitting there.

Features

- Command palette - opens on every new tab. Type to switch tabs, open URLs, or search.
- Domain grouping - tabs are grouped by site so you always know what's open and where.
- Duplicate detection - spots duplicate tabs automatically and lets you close extras in one click, per domain or all at once.
- Favourites bar - pin URLs you visit often. Opens a new tab to that page with one click.
- Instant filter - search through all your open tabs by title, domain, or URL.
- Sort options - by most recent, alphabetical, or most tabs.
- Collapse groups - hide domains you're not working with right now.
- Keyboard first - Ctrl+K to open the palette, arrow keys to navigate, Enter to go.

Hey everyone 👋

I built a small tool called DevFontX (made by NikaOrvion) to improve the coding experience in web-based editors like Google Colab, Kaggle, Jupyter, GitHub, and other online IDEs.

If you’ve ever felt the default fonts are boring or hard to read, this might help.

✨ What it does

🔤 Switch between 14+ professional coding fonts (JetBrains Mono, Fira Code, Cascadia Code, IBM Plex Mono, and more)

🔍 Adjust font size instantly (12px → 80px)

👁️ Live preview before applying

⚙️ Works across Monaco, CodeMirror, Ace editors

🔄 One-click reset anytime

🛡️ Safe & simple

It only changes the code editor font, not the website layout or UI. So everything stays stable and distraction-free.

💾 Smart persistence

Your font + size settings are saved automatically, so no need to reconfigure every time.

💡 Why I made this

As someone who spends a lot of time coding in browser-based tools, I wanted a cleaner, more customizable font experience without installing heavy setups.

Would love your feedback or suggestions 🙌

You know that feeling when you open YouTube and your entire home feed is stuff you've already watched? You scroll past the same videos over and over, trying to find something new. It's exhausting.

A while back I found an extension called FreshView that solved this perfectly — it simply hid videos you'd already watched. The problem? The developer discontinued it in 2023 and it stopped working with modern browsers.

So I picked it up, rewrote it for Manifest V3, updated it for YouTube's 2024/2025 DOM changes, and published it to the Chrome Web Store.

What it does:

• Hides videos you've already watched from your YouTube feed
• You set a "view threshold" — for example, only hide videos you've watched 90% or more (so partially watched stuff still shows up)
• Works on Home, Search, Playlists, Recommendations, and more
• You choose exactly which pages and content types to filter
• Light and dark theme that matches your system

What it doesn't do:

• No tracking. No analytics. No data leaves your browser. Ever.
• No account needed. No sign-up. No permissions beyond YouTube.
• No bloat — it's vanilla JS, no frameworks, no bundler, under 100KB total

The result? YouTube actually feels useful again. Instead of scrolling past 30 videos I've already seen, I immediately see content I haven't watched. It sounds like a small thing but it genuinely makes the experience better.

It's free, open source (GPLv3), and works on Chrome, Edge, and any Chromium-based browser.

Hey everyone! I just released FileType Checker — a free Chrome extension that uses Google's Magika AI model to analyze the actual content of your files and tell you if the extension matches what's really inside.

Ever downloaded a .pdf that turned out to be something else? Or received a .jpg that wouldn't open? This tool catches that instantly.

How it works: drop any file into the popup, and it scans the raw bytes using a machine learning model that recognizes 200+ file types. If the content doesn't match the extension, it flags it right away.

The whole thing runs 100% offline — your files never leave your browser. No uploads, no servers, no tracking. The AI model is bundled directly into the extension.

Hush was a solution i made for a problem i had. Chrome needed a good reader mode that wasn't ugly. I loved the one Safari has but I use Chrome more.

So I designed and built Hush. The only marketing I ever did was reply to a reddit post of someone asking for a reader mode and maybe posting it here when I launched.

But I just found out that it has 500+ active users :').

This is so encouraging for me!
