built it for a personal use case and uploaded it to the store at the end of Sep. A hike of over 500 feels a bit sus(to be honest)!

I built an extension inspired with mac style dec. currently the extension is basic, just a new tab but in future updates i am gonna add some crazy features like you can use your custom background - videos/images or may be slideshow.

features

1. You can add any website in your deck without leaving the page. just click on extension icon and save it.

I built Throwback, a Chrome extension that brings those old versions of the internet back to life.

It lets you switch between the modern websites and their classic designs instantly, without reloading the page.

A few things it brings back:

• 📺 YouTube (2009): The old layout, star ratings, view counts, and yellow Subscribe button.
• 📼 VHS Mode: Turn YouTube videos into fake VHS recordings, complete with scanlines, tracking glitches, and a camcorder-style date stamp.
• 🐦 Twitter (2010): The old bird logo, Favorite button, Trending Topics, and classic blue background.
• 🔎 Google (2008): Classic search results, green URLs, and the old pagination.
• ✉️ Gmail (2004): The original beta-era look.

It's a little nostalgia project I made because I miss how the internet used to feel.

yeah finally i got the payment from my extension, the rate of conversion in chrome extension subscription low or high? just question because this is the first payment in saas

Hey people, could you share some experience optimizing Chrome extensions for Google Search? Any tips/recommendations? Especially for short/full descriptions.

I've tried to optimize, but I fear I over-optimized, and Google now might think that my extension spams with the keywords in the description (hopefully not, but you cannot know for sure).

That would help a lot. I'm generally trying to find the correct path to optimization, and if I find, I'll share with you also. Thanks!

This is crazy! I think this is the best browser tab extension

Configuration-free automatic organization

Automatic backup to prevent loss due to browser crash

Quick Query

There are also cute little kittens for quick operations

Install TabPurr:

Meet TabPurr, a Chrome tab manager with a little cat by your side.

• Group tabs automatically

Pages from the same website come together in native Chrome tab groups as you browse. No rules to write or setup to work through.

• Find a page by its title

Search by website, page title keywords, or URL. Read the full title before switching to the tab you need.

• Save and reopen workspaces

Keep research, project references, and reading lists in named workspaces. Reopen saved pages in a new window when you’re ready to continue, or restore pages from an existing backup.

• Merge and split windows

Bring scattered windows together, or move selected website groups into a new window. With automatic grouping enabled, merged tabs come together by website.

• Keep useful controls close

Drag the floating cat to a comfortable spot. Left-click to open the website tree and search; right-click for quick actions such as returning to your previous tab, opening recent tabs, and organizing groups.

• Suspend background tabs

Manually suspend eligible background pages to free up memory. Tabs stay in place and reload when you return. Memory savings vary by page and device.

Your tab and workspace data stays in your browser. No account is required.

Some advanced actions require a separate unlock. Workspaces reopen saved URLs; they do not preserve unsaved forms or the full running state of a page. Restoring from a backup requires an existing saved record.

https://github.com/arfshl/safesearch-lock

https://github.com/arfshl/safesearch-lock-for-youtube/tree/main

So this extension is simple, its redirect safesearch on google and other search engine, and locking youtube restricted mode once this extension installed and activated, using DNR API so this extension is mv3 compatible

Beside DNS CNAME, i think this is a another good way for enforcing safesearch, its also make safesearch enforcing cheaper to implement such like school laboratorium computer or your child laptop, you just need administrator account locked and enforce this extension with registry editor

This is my very first extension, let me know if you like it

https://github.com/arfshl/googlesearch-force-region

Beside user settings, Google Search define region and languange with URL parameter, hl for language, gl for region, with standard, two-letter ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 format, for example us for United States region and enfor english language. Full lists here

This extension uses declarativeNetRequest API and its slatic rules to intercept the search queries to www.google.com and adds those URL paramaters, allowing language and region to be defined and remembered without logging-in to your account or changing user settings regularly. Practically useful for VPN users or users who simply doesn't want to login when using Google Search.

I'm a freelancer doing web and mobile development based in Malaysia. Where I'm from we use a lot of WhatsApp. I have difficulty keeping track of client request and messages. So I built this

My tab bar had become a row of tiny, indistinguishable favicons. Naturally, I built a side project instead of closing anything.

It’s called TabTogether. You create a rule for a website or URL section, give it a group name, and matching tabs group automatically.

Different sections of the same website can have separate groups, useful when you’re switching between projects, accounts, or applications.

There’s also optional AI-assisted setup: download a history summary you choose to share, ask your own AI assistant for grouping suggestions, then review and import them. Nothing is sent to an assistant automatically.

No account needed. It has pause and undo, and preserves pinned tabs and manual groups.

Chrome Web Store link

I built this for my own browsing habits, so I’d appreciate feedback from people who use tabs differently. What feels useful, confusing, or unnecessarily complicated?

Bug reports and constructive roasting are both welcome. My emotional-support tabs can take it.

TV Time shutting down left a real gap: nothing else automatically tracked what episode you're on across multiple streaming platforms.

What it does:

- Detects what you're watching on Netflix (on by default), Prime Video, Crunchyroll, Disney+ and Apple TV — one-click opt-in per site, each permission scoped to that site only

- Marks an episode watched at 80% progress (90% for movies) — real watch time, not just scrubbing the progress bar

- Imports your existing Netflix/Prime history so you're not starting from zero

- New/imported titles land in a private "Detected" tab first — nothing gets added to your list without a click

Free, no ads, no account required to browse, EU-hosted (Frankfurt), doesn't sell or share data.

I'm the developer — happy to go into the detection mechanics if anyone's curious.

How many times have you saved a bookmark only to find the link dead, paywalled, or deleted a few months later?

​Most extensions just save a plain URL. I built FetchMark to solve this by creating true offline-first web archives.

Key features:

1.​Save Full Web Pages / Reader View: Archive the entire text content locally so you never lose it.

1. ​Instant Local Full-Text Search: Search through the actual body text of everything you’ve saved.

2. ​Markdown Export: Keep your data portable and easy to use across offline apps.

​100% Free Open Beta

​Would love to hear feedback from this community!

I've been building Sylvia, a Chrome extension that puts an AI assistant in a sidebar inside Gmail. It's my own project, and it's still in beta — I'm looking for first impressions rather than signups.


Availability note: while it's in beta, the extension is listed in the EU and Switzerland only.


The gap I kept hitting: most AI email tools help you *read* your inbox — summaries, "what needs a reply". The part that actually eats my time is *acting* on it: labelling months of invoices, archiving newsletters, clearing out no-reply senders. So Sylvia turns a plain-English instruction into real Gmail operations.

Things you type:
- "label every invoice from this month as Accounting"
- "archive all newsletters older than two weeks"
- "summarise the Q4 relaunch thread"
- "draft a polite decline to Marcus"

The design decision I care most about: nothing destructive happens without an explicit confirmation. Before any write, it shows the exact message count and which threads are affected, then waits for a yes. Bulk operations on a mailbox are unforgiving, and I didn't want a model's mistake to cost someone their inbox.

On privacy, since it's the first thing I'd ask too: email content is never stored — not in a database, not in logs. It goes to the AI provider for that single request and is discarded. The proxy runs in the EU. Google's OAuth verification is complete, including the CASA security assessment. You can also bring your own OpenAI / Gemini / Azure key, in which case nothing touches my server at all.

Technically: MV3, chrome.identity for auth, Gmail API batch requests for the bulk operations.

New accounts get a few free actions to try it, then it's prepaid credits — no subscription.

https://www.sylviamail.app/

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sylvia-%E2%80%94-ai-email-assista/elenpmjenkpnokfededgabenaafmljna

Two things I'd really like your read on, since they're what I can still change:

1. **Response quality** — does it understand what you asked, pick the right emails, and are the drafted replies actually usable, or do they read like filler?
2. **Speed** — how long from instruction to result, and where does it feel slow? Searching, thinking, or executing the action?

Anything that confused you or didn't work as expected is useful too — beta means I'd rather hear it now.

Hey folks,

I wanted to share an extension I recently built and launched on the Chrome Web Store: Teleprompter.

I wanted something lightweight for browser-based presentations and video recording that didn't force me to create an account or route my scripts through third-party servers.

Under the hood / Tech details:

• Built entirely for the browser using local storage (chrome.storage.local).
• Features three driving modes: Speech-to-text live anchoring (Voice-driven), Words per minute (WPM) auto-scroll, and manual paragraph stepping.
• Zero data footprint: Scripts, settings, and logs stay on your machine, and speech recognition runs locally in-memory.

If you do a lot of remote pitching, content creation, or presentations, give it a spin and let me know your feedback!

🔗 Check it out on the Chrome Web Store

I got tired of opening another tab or SaaS just to make a quick bar/line/pie chart, so I built BeCharts: an Apache ECharts-based editor in the side panel. 21 chart types (bar, line, pie, Sankey, treemap, etc.) Import CSV / Excel, edit in a table Export PNG / SVG / PDF (and offline HTML) Works offline; nothing is uploaded Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/gedaaehhdopngblhadflkdgfbjemhehgSite: https://www.becharts.com/ Would love feedback on the side-panel UX and which chart types you would actually use.

I am so tired of building random side projects that nobody actually uses. Yesterday I lost a half-written draft because a tab reloaded itself out of nowhere and wiped the entire form state. it is such a stupid, small thing, but it made me want to close my laptop and walk away for the rest of the day.

I feel like browser tools today miss the point, and modern workflows are secretly broken. everyone is shipping bloated dashboards when we just need simple things that actually work. change my mind.

I want to code something genuinely useful for once, but I need to know where the actual pain points are.

What is the one minor digital inconvenience that makes you want to throw your laptop out the window? Let me hear your worst complaints.

Hi everyone — I'm the developer of Tldraw Slide Board, a Chrome extension that puts a tldraw whiteboard beside the page you're viewing.

It's for the small things you want to sketch while browsing: a quick flowchart, an architecture idea, a study note, or a plan that is easier to draw than type. The canvas opens in Chrome's side panel, so you can keep the page and your drawing visible together.

What it does:

• Draw with tldraw's pen, shapes, text, and notes.

• Save boards locally and organize them by date.

• Browse thumbnail cards or switch to a compact list.

• Pin boards you want to keep at the top, even when changing date ranges.

• Back up your boards with JSON import and export.

• Optionally sync between devices through Google Drive, with board contents encrypted before upload.

The latest version, 0.1.8, adds the card/list toggle and persistent pins. You can use the extension locally without connecting Google Drive.

The source is available on GitHub:

https://github.com/seachenjy/TldrawSlideBoard

Chrome Web Store:

If you try it, I'd appreciate feedback: what would make a side-panel whiteboard useful in your everyday workflow?

I've been working on a little project called Website Privacy Inspector

It's a free, open-source browser extension built to help people inspect website privacy-related information. I wanted to build something useful that people could try without paying for another subscription.

• 💻 Source code available on GitHub
• 🛠️ Open to feedback, suggestions, and contributions

This is my project, and I'm still looking for ways to make it better. I'd genuinely love to hear what you think, what features you'd like to see, or what I could improve.

If you're interested, here's the project:

Two subreddits count as related when a lot of the same people comment in both.

Hi, I just published TabFlow Agent on the Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons. It's a free, open-source extension built to solve tab clutter without handing your data to a third-party server.

https://snvishna.github.io/tabflow-agent/

✨ Highlights:

•⁠ Dedupe on open: listens to webNavigation.onBeforeNavigate for newly opened tabs only (never navigation inside an existing tab). On an exact normalized-URL match it focuses the existing tab and shows an Undo notice.

•⁠ Grouping: all-MiniLM-L6-v2 embeddings run in WASM inside the MV3 service worker (runtime bundled, no remote code; weights ~25 MB, fetched once from Hugging Face). Greedy cosine clustering with a same-domain bonus. You get a preview and can rename groups before anything is applied.

•⁠ Search: one palette (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Space) over open tabs, recently closed tabs and an IndexedDB archive. Order-agnostic multi-term matching on title + URL.

•⁠ Auto-archive: optional hourly alarm that closes tabs idle for N days. Every closed tab is kept for 90 days and can be restored.

•⁠ Undo stack for every action (Alt+Shift+U).

Privacy: local-first, no account, no telemetry, no server. Optionally bring your own key (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint such as Groq). A fast model then decides "same app, reuse the tab" vs. "different document, keep both" for same-site URLs, and a stronger one names groups. Only titles and URLs are sent, only to the provider you set, with a 15 s timeout and an on-device fallback.

Disclosure: I build ReachCraft.

Page Inviter is a Chrome extension for inviting people who reacted to a Facebook Page’s posts to follow the Page, when Facebook offers an Invite action. It has configurable timing, session limits and progress counters.

I would value feedback from Page admins: is the setup clear, and which controls would you expect before starting a session? The 30-second clip below is an interface tour with demo data, not a live performance test.

It requires Facebook in English and email activation. The trial lasts 7 days from the first job, with no card required. Afterward: USD 7.99/month or USD 69/year, plus applicable tax. No guaranteed follower growth or exemption from Facebook limits. Use only for Pages you are authorized to manage.
