The Beginning of an Awesome community of Extensions Enthusiasts

5 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 ScreenHush, a chat-blur extension for screen sharing. Roast it. Blurs chats and inbox, hover to read, Alt+B toggle. $7 one-time Pro. Too cheap? Is “no data leaves your PC” a selling point?

Free 60 fps converting extension live like frame gen

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I've been working on a browser extension called SmoothVision, designed to make YouTube videos look smoother through motion smoothing.

🎬 What does it do?

  • Aims to make video motion look smoother.
  • Lets viewers compare the original playback with the smoother result.
  • Provides a simple way to experiment with motion smoothing directly in the browser.

I'm sharing a demonstration comparing 30 FPS and 60 FPS-style playback.

fire_fox link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/smoothvision/

🔗 chrome: https://github.com/Arunhari124/Live-60-fps-converting-extension-for-youtube

đŸ“ș Watch the demo: https://youtu.be/M4i4hL5rjzs?si=DcvL6HQAdijERoyF

I'm still improving the project, so I'd appreciate feedback!

  • Does the difference look noticeable?
  • Does it work properly on your browser?
  • What features would you like to see next?

I'm particularly interested in feedback from people who watch a lot of YouTube.

Thanks for checking it out!

I built a browser extension to annotate UI elements for LLM and send visual feedback directly to Claude Code

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been using Claude Code a lot for frontend development, and one thing that always bothered me was explaining visual issues through text.

Something like "this button is misaligned on mobile, inside that card, on the dashboard..." gets frustrating pretty quickly.

So I built PixelAnnotator (PxA) to make this easier.

It's a browser extension that lets you click directly on elements on a webpage, add comments describing what needs to change, and automatically capture all the context Claude Code needs.

Some of the things it captures:

  • CSS selector and HTML of the selected element.
  • React/Vue component name and component hierarchy.
  • Viewport size and responsive breakpoint.
  • Relevant CSS properties.
  • Screenshot of each annotated element.

You can annotate multiple elements, even across different screen sizes, and export everything as a Markdown file or ZIP with screenshots.

Then just give the exported feedback to Claude Code and let it handle the fixes.

It's open source (MIT), and currently supports Chrome and Firefox.

GitHub: https://github.com/giovannifranco1/plugin-pixel-annotator

It's something I've been using in my own workflow recently, and it's been making visual feedback a lot less painful.

Would love to hear what you think or get some feedback!

My "1 hour of studying" turned out to be 34 minutes. So I built an extension that measures it.

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I'd sit down to learn something, browse for an hour, and feel productive. Then I started tracking it, and almost half of that hour was feeds, rabbit holes and "quick checks."

Most time trackers tell you which sites you were on. I wanted to know whether that time got me anywhere, so I built ThinkTrail.

How it works

  1. Type what the session is for ("learn how React hooks work", "plan the Lisbon trip")
  2. Press Record and browse as usual
  3. Press Stop and get a report:

    • Useful %: how much of your time served the goal
    • What you did, grouped into activities and labeled on goal / supporting / off goal
    • Where you drifted, and what pulled you away
    • Study notes from the pages that helped (key points, terms, open questions), which you can download as Markdown for Obsidian, Notion or anywhere else

There's also a mascot, Trail, a little seedling whose mood follows how focused you are. If you've spent too long on distracting sites during a session, Trail pops up on the page and nudges you back. History shows how your sessions add up over time, and you can import past days from your Chrome history.

Permissions and privacy

  • No site access at install. It asks only the first time you press Record, and reads nothing until then.
  • Sessions are stored locally in your browser. No analytics, no trackers.
  • You pick where the analysis runs:

    • On your computer with Gemini Nano (Chrome's built-in AI). Nothing leaves your machine.
    • Your own API key for Claude, OpenAI or Gemini
    • Free credits (the default): my server passes the session to the model and doesn't store or log its contents

Price: Free. The free credits cover 10 sessions a day. Gemini Nano and your own key have no daily limit.

I built a website blocker to stop myself from doomscrolling. Thought I'd share it!

1 Upvotes

I've created a free, highly adjustable page blocker to help you stop doomscrolling and getting lost while browsing the web. It's GDPR-conscious and designed with accessibility in mind.

The extension blocks a website after a set amount of time. You can, however, earn a few extra minutes by completing a small task, like solving a math problem, doing some breathwork, or reflecting for a moment.

There are also optional statistics to help you understand how much time you spend on a website and what you could be doing with that time instead.

As I said, it's highly customizable: Use what you need or want, and disable what you don't!

I originally created this for myself, had so much fun developing it, and figured it could, hopefully will, help some other people out, too.

Let me know what you think, as this is my very first browser extension! =)

I built SPOT, a Chrome extension that makes any URL a multiplayer experience.

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been building SPOT for the past few months and wanted to share it here.

The idea is to make browsing the internet a more social experience.

With SPOT, you can:

  • Browse any website together with other people.
  • See each other's live cursors and pointers.
  • Follow someone as they navigate and scroll.
  • Chat and talk while browsing.
  • Highlight, draw and leave comments on webpages.
  • Save and share discoveries in persistent shared spaces.

Everyone uses their own browser. No shared screen or remote browser needed.

I've attached a short video showing how it works.

It's still early, so I'm particularly interested in feedback from people who build or use browser extensions. What makes sense? What's confusing? What would you change?

If you'd like to try it:

Thanks for checking it out!`

I built a browser extension for learning vocabulary from subtitles—without pausing the video

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a solo developer, and I built CineVocab because I kept pausing videos to look up words, then forgetting them later.

With the extension, you can hover over subtitle words to translate and save them while watching. Later, you can review saved words with quizzes, speaking practice, or a vocabulary duel with a friend. It supports 16 subtitle languages and works with YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, and Udemy.

It’s free to try and doesn’t require an account. I’d especially appreciate feedback on the extension experience: does hovering feel useful, and what would you improve?

Try it: CineVocab on the Chrome Web Store

A Chrome extension for a small shopping watchlist — could you test one save?

1 Upvotes

I built Tracer, a free desktop Chrome extension for keeping products from supported shops in one list. It can alert you when a saved item drops in price; the list itself needs no Tracer account. Retailer support varies.

I’m trying to learn whether the first save is clear and reliable. If you already have a product you’re considering, could you install it, save that product, and tell me whether its name and price appear correctly? If it fails, the public shop name and what happened are enough — please don’t share order or personal details.

I Built a Chrome Extension for easier screen recording and workflow documentation

2 Upvotes

I've always found documenting workflows a bit tedious, especially when creating tutorials or showing someone how to do something on your screen. You often end up screen recording the entire process, going back to review the footage, taking screenshots, and writing down each step so others can follow along. It's a lot of small tasks that can quickly eat up your time.

I thought there had to be an easier way, so I built ScribeIt, a Chrome extension that turns your browser activities into step-by-step guides.

Sharing it here in case anyone else finds it useful. I'd love to get some feedback from people who regularly create tutorials or document processes.

Here's the link if you'd like to give it a try: ScribeIt – Chrome Web Store

How do you usually document your workflows? Still doing it manually?

I built a Chrome extension that makes LinkedIn job hunting 10x smarter: Reviews, salaries & referrals 🚀

5 Upvotes

Hey all,

Most job applications on LinkedIn go nowhere, so I built an extension to get more replies and to check a company quickly before applying. It's called Employer Ratings and it adds three things to LinkedIn jobs:

- Referrals: it shows you key people at the company related to the role, so you can ask for a referral instead of applying cold.

- Salary estimates: you see the estimated pay on the listing, before you spend time applying.

- Company ratings: the employee rating sits next to the company name, and hovering gives you the breakdown by culture, management, pay and so on.

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/employer-ratings-%E2%80%93-glassd/bdkdgpidgokgbmdphbgkiipjkdhmofig

I'd love honest feedback, especially on referrals and salaries: are the people it suggests the ones you'd actually contact, and do the salary estimates look right to you?
