This DIY coding project can add useful utility to Chrome, Firefox, or your daily web browser.

But what if you need some kind of specific extra functionality, some tool or feature that’s not covered by existing add-ons? Then it might be time to consider writing your own browser extension. That might sound daunting, but It's not that difficult to do once you learn how. And once you’ve created a custom extension, you can either keep it for your own private use or make it public so anyone can use it.

Google has helpfully provided a full tutorial for coding a basic Chrome extension, which covers everything from creating the manifest to checking through error logs and making sure the completed add-on is visible in the browser. It's a good introduction to how to structure the various components that make up your extension. There's another good tutorial over at FreeCodeCamp.
