So You Want to Build a Chrome Extension?
I should start by saying that I just released my first chrome extension this afternoon called BuzzKill and I think you’ll like it:
BuzzKill is a Chrome Extension that automatically removes all Buzz Feed content from your Facebook browsing experience.
- "This extension has helped me reclaim hours of my day!" -Happy User
- "I finally feel like I have my life back" -Happy User
- "With BuzzKill installed, I can rest assured knowing that my children are safe from the most soul-sucking content on the entire internet." -Happy User
Install it now! The code is available on GitHub and I’d be happy to take pull requests, bugs or other issues on there.
The concept is really simple, and it took me about 15 minutes to write the Javascript necessary to make it work from my console. But figuring out how to package it all up as an extension took more work than I was expecting. I’ll run through the stuff I learned here.
