Throughout the book, you'll develop, deploy, and manage a published browser extension, employing modern JavaScript frameworks to enhance your development process.

This book is designed for developers who are tasked with building a supplementary browser extension to complement their existing product. It also caters to individuals with a basic understanding of web development who want to quickly grasp the process of rolling out a browser extension. By the end of this book, you'll possess a deep understanding of what browser extensions are, how they function, and the various pitfalls to avoid. You'll also learn the most efficient methods for building browser extensions, enabling you to extend the functionality of web browsers and enhance the user experience.
