Chrome extension (Manifest V3) starter
A popup + content script extension using Manifest V3, the current Chrome extension platform.
Build a Chrome extension using Manifest V3 that [WHAT IT DOES ON A PAGE]. - manifest.json with the minimum permissions needed (explain each one); prefer activeTab over broad host permissions. - A popup (HTML/CSS/JS) with the main controls. - A content script that reads/modifies the page, and a background service worker for anything long-lived. - Message passing between popup, content script, and service worker. - Settings saved with chrome.storage.sync. - No remote code; everything bundled in the extension. Include steps to load it unpacked at chrome://extensions and how to package it for the Chrome Web Store.
Tips
- Store review is stricter for broad permissions. Request only what you use.
