Overview

Extension.js is a comprehensive framework engineered to streamline the creation of browser extensions that function seamlessly across various web browsers. It provides a unified development experience, allowing developers to write code once and deploy it to platforms like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and others without extensive modifications. The framework embraces contemporary web standards and languages, including TypeScript for type safety and WebAssembly for performance-critical operations, ensuring that extensions are both robust and efficient. The core value proposition of Extension.js lies in its 'no configuration required' philosophy. This means developers can jump straight into coding their extension's logic without spending time on intricate build setups or environment configurations. By abstracting away the complexities of browser-specific APIs and manifest files, Extension.js empowers developers to focus on innovation and delivering value through their extensions, making it an ideal choice for rapid development and maintaining a consistent user experience across the web.
