How to convert your website into a Chrome-Extension?

Hey peeps!

So, you’re wondering how to convert your existing website into a chrome-extension? Well, I’ve got it for you!

Chrome Extension

All you need to do is, follow these simple steps:

• Step-1: Create a manifest.json file in your root directory (where your index.html) is located and insert the following code. Here, the most interesting and important thing to note is “browser_actions”. The task of this object is to tell the browser that ‘Hey! This is a chrome-extension and can you please open index.html whenever we trigger it’.

Step-2: You’re done! Yeah, that’s it.

But, um…How do I run this?

To run your extension, follow these simple steps:

1. Clone/Download this repository
2. Open chrome
3. In the address bar, type ‘chrome://extensions’
4. Enable ‘Developer Mode’ from the topmost-left corner (if not already enabled)
5. Select ‘Load Unpacked’ option from the top
6. Browse the location of the saved project
7. You’re good to go now. You’ll be able to locate the extension in the extensions’ section
8. Run your extension. Cheers!

Thank You.
