What an unmitigated disaster. Anyone who has been following the MV3 transition saw this coming from a mile away. When I wrote the MV3 chapter for "Building Browser Extensions", it was nearly impossible to commit to any content bec

I suspect there's a chicken and egg effect with pricing and blind tasting. Someone who can identify wines blind surely knows how much each region/producer/style costs, and based on that would assign a guessed price. Example:

I took the introductory sommelier exam as a hobbyist, but I was in a room with ~200 people in the industry. We collectively blind tasted about a dozen wines, and I watched as people around me mostly guessed correctly with astonishing accura

I found the lack of examples and mv2/mv3 fragmentation to be very irritating. For example, the Omnibox API is awesome - yet look at the documentation: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference&#

Browser extensions. Not quite a website, not quite a mobile app, and surprisingly pervasive. Most people don't realize how incredibly powerful they are, even with manifest v3. I almost fell out of my chair when I found out there were n

I was frustrated with the lack of resources, so I'm publishing a book on it: "Building Browser Extensions". Available later this year. https://www.buildingbrowserextensions.com/ And check out the companion ex

Author of the 4th edition here! Much credit goes to the author of previous editions, Nicholas Zakas, for dictating the style. He offered this advice when I began the new edition: I tried to make it a book that had a distinctive approach, w

Fantastic article! I would add that it is quite impossible to hold the contents of an entire book in your head at once. I rely heavily on Trello and OneNote for mental organization of topics. It's also critical to form a topic pipeline
