Chrome Extension Development

Chrome Extension Development is the process of creating small software programs that run within the Google Chrome browser to customize and enhance the user's browsing experience. By leveraging core web technologies—HTML, CSS, and JavaScript—developers can build tools that modify web page content, interact with browser features like tabs and bookmarks, or add entirely new functionality through a rich set of JavaScript APIs provided by the browser. This allows for deep integration with the user's web environment, enabling the creation of powerful utilities that automate tasks, improve accessibility, or add specialized features directly into the browser's interface.
