Started building a simple tab scroller because nothing proper existed.
Well, now it has workspaces, a command bar, mouse gestures, keyboard shortcuts, time-travel sessions and a side panel UI.
I may have overegineered it.

Cutting corners compounds. So we don't. Browser extensions, built properly.

Screen time is not an accident. The man who built the most addictive screen in history banned his own kids from it.
Pushkar Raj Thakur@PushkarRThakur
Did you know that even Steve Jobs limited his kids’ screen time? 📵 In 2010, he revealed that his children had never used an iPad. Instead, he focused on real conversations, books, and meaningful family time. In today’s digital world, this raises an important question — are we overusing technology? 🤔 Balance is the key. Use tech wisely, but don’t forget real-life connections. #SteveJobs #DigitalDetox #ScreenTime #SuccessMindset #ProductivityTips

"Chrome DevTools integration is slick until it starts timing out on heavy pages — switched to Playwright, own browser instance, never looked back"
Seth Lazar@sethlazar
PSA for anyone who like me did NOT have /chrome set as "default: yes" in Claude Code... You can set it to yes and then CC can just use the Claude extension in Chrome all the time, and it is probably the best browser integration I've used yet. I actually found this out by using the extension in Cowork, getting annoyed I couldn't do this in CC, asking Claude about it and he was like "huh, that does look cool I wonder if we can build something similar" without suggesting to me that I just enable the setting... Anyway 2h later and I've found it, and it's ace.

Tabs are sneakier RAM killers than Lightroom. How many were open before swap kicked in?
Vadim Yuryev@VadimYuryev
Can 8GB of Unified Memory on MacBook Neo match 16GB on Windows Laptops? NO! Did a RAM stress test by exporting photos in Lightroom which is VERY RAM-hungry and opened browser tabs. The slow SSD speed sabotages the swap memory performance. Full video: youtu.be/f9fhCMBIbis

Honest question — did you build the landing page before or after validating the extension idea? We built the extension first and retrofitting the site was way harder than expected

Just finished the website for my next Chrome extension First impression in 3 words or less 👇

Library page had 50-second average dwell time. Hid a 30-second minigame in it. Now it's over 3 minutes.
Would you gamify a boring page?

@allodev CWS review for a first extension usually takes 1-3 days — if it needs host permissions for the X domain, expect the longer end. On the platform side, mass-unfollow in bursts can trigger rate limits. Spacing them out is safer than blasting through thousands.
English
Launched a new website Fri evening: 680 pageviews and 11.8% site-to-CWS conversion so far.
AI chatbots (Claude, ChatGPT) are citing the articles without me doing anything. Nine visits from AI referrals so far. Small number, but the referral path is real.

Everyone's excited about Bun controlling browsers. Nobody's asking why browsers still need to be controlled by something else in the first place.

In the next version of Bun `Bun.WebView` programmatically controls a headless web browser in Bun
English
@jarredsumner The visibilityState trick is the real work. Extensions rely on it more than people think — idle detection, tab lifecycle, service worker timing all shift when the browser knows it's headless.

@ChromiumDev WXT handles this well. But the real MV3 pain isn't framework choice — it's service workers dying mid-operation.
English
Building a Chrome Extension doesn't mean you have to ditch your favorite framework.
However, frameworks relying on SSR or external CDNs might hit a wall with Manifest V3's security policies.

@tonylab_net Chrome sidebar surfacing you at 46 installs with zero spend — that's the number I'd be watching, not retention. Retention is easy to hold when the base is small. Organic distribution at that scale is harder to explain away.
English
The numbers don't lie.
READR — my solo Chrome extension — after 4 weeks:
→ 46 installs
→ 2 uninstalls — 95.6% retention
→ 119 Chrome Store impressions
→ 57 page views
→ Users in US, Germany, UK, Canada, Taiwan, India
→ Chrome sidebar recommending organically
→ Zero ad

Sounds like Comet strips that setting out. Unfortunately extensions can't control panel position — it's a browser-level thing.
For the tab bar at the top: same deal, no extension can hide that. In vanilla Chrome currently only vertical tabs (chrome://flags) replaces the top bar entirely.
Appreciate you testing it out though — first Comet report we've gotten.
English
have you tried the comet browser yet?
I completely switched to Comet like 2 weeks ago, went all in on the perplexity ecosystem for search,
It’s really impressive with all their models plugged in from the start and picking the best model for each individual task.
Perplexity@perplexity_ai
Computer can now take full control of Comet to complete tasks. When you’re in Comet, Computer spins up a browser agent that can access any site or logged‑in app with your permission, without the need for connectors or MCPs. Available to all Computer users on Comet.
English
@crsmoore It's a Chrome-level setting: chrome://settings/appearance and from there "Side panel position".
Are you trying it out with Comet? Interested in the results
English
@SuperchargeExt Tried it out. Can't figure out how to get it on the left side. It's stuck on the right.
English
@crsmoore Haven't tested it in Comet yet, only Chrome and Chromium-based browsers. If Comet supports the side panel API it should work. Worth a try
English
@SuperchargeExt Does this work reliably in Comet?

Shipped a website Friday-Saturday night.
72 hours later: 385 visitors from 49 countries. Google already indexing. ChatGPT and Claude both sending traffic.
Someone in Korea found an article, read the whole thing, and installed our Chrome extension. A page that didn't exist 3 days ago.
No cookies. No third-party scripts. $0/month.
What are you tracking with?

@MandeepBuilds congrats on the second one. the jump from first to second is way faster because you already know the CWS workflow. what framework are you using?
