We’ll see that, with a few lines of code, we can create some powerful features in the browser. Let’s build a proof of concept - an extension that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision to help the blind analyze images on a web page. Don’t worry: Building one is simple and straightforward. So, if you’ve never built an extension before or don’t know how it works, have a quick look at those resources. Microsoft (also, see the great overview video “ Building Extensions for Microsoft Edge”).I won’t cover the basics of extension development because plenty of good resources are already available from each vendor: Note: We won’t cover Safari in this article because it doesn’t support the same extension model as others. Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Brave and Vivaldi), and provide some simple tips on how to get a unique code base for all of them, but also how to debug in each browser. I’ll explain how you can install this extension that supports the web extension model (i.e. Indeed, the Chrome extension model based on HTML, CSS and JavaScript is now available almost everywhere, and there is even a Browser Extension Community Group working on a standard. Good news for Chrome users is that they may find extensions in Opera's add-on repository that they won't find in Google's Chrome Web Store due to restrictions and policies.In today’s article, we’ll create a JavaScript extension that works in all major modern browsers, using the very same code base. You will receive a confirmation dialog detailing the rights the extension requests, just as if you were installing a Chrome extension.Drag and drop the downloaded and renamed extension into the window to install it in Chrome.Open Google Chrome and then the extensions page in the browser: chrome://extensions/.crx instead, the format that Chrome uses. Open the folder you have saved it to and rename the file extensions to.nex file, the new format Opera uses for Blink engine extensions. Right-click on the Add to Opera button and select save linked content as from the context menu that opens up.Click on one of the extensions that you are interested in to open its profile page in the browser.You can only install extensions that have been designed for Opera 15 or newer in Google Chrome. It is necessary to do so as you will be redirected to the "old" add-ons store otherwise.
While they cannot install Opera extensions directly in their browser, a little bit of tweaking is all that is needed to do so. Chrome users on the other hand do not have these restrictions.
