Need to change the title it’s browser extensions not Web extensions.

  That’s wrong: https://github.com/w3c/webextensions https://github.com/w3c/webextensions

    Please read these quotes from these links to better understand why it’s not wrong. “Extension is a plug-and-play, zero-config, cross-browser extension development tool for browser extensions with built-in support for TypeScript, WebAssembly, React, and modern JavaScript.” “WebExtensions are a way to write browser extensions: that is, programs installed inside a web browser that modify the behavior of the browser or web pages loaded by the browser. WebExtensions are built on a set of cross-browser APIs, so WebExtensions written for Google Chrome, Opera, or Edge will, in most cases, run in Firefox too.”

      You’re making up differentiation where there is none. Browser extensions are called WebExtensions. The terms are used interchangeably in practice. > WebExtensions are a way to write browser extensions Even if “technically correct”, the tool still specifically creates WebExtensions, it does not create “non-WebExtension browser extensions”

        You are welcome to go to their respective repos and make your arguments there. I just pasted the quotes here.

          They’re right, it’s your “correcting” comment that’s wrong
