Chrome & Edge extensions with modular architecture
Chrome extensions I publish ship worldwide through the Web Store—English-first listings with optional localized store copy for Arabic, Urdu, or European markets when you target those audiences.

Browser extensions reach users at the moment of intent—on the page they already have open—without asking them to install a full desktop app. I design Chrome and Microsoft Edge extensions with minimal permission footprints, clear privacy copy, and modular codebases so one core engine can power multiple SKUs or white-label variants.
My published extensions through AzAd Solutions include download managers, developer toolkits, and security-adjacent utilities with more than fifty thousand active users combined. I engineer for Manifest V3 realities: service workers instead of persistent backgrounds, declarative net rules where appropriate, and storage strategies that survive browser updates without silent breakage.
Store submission is a discipline of its own. I prepare listing screenshots, localized descriptions, policy-compliant single-purpose narratives, and update pipelines so bug fixes reach the Web Store quickly. If you need companion options pages, sync across devices, or integration with your SaaS backend via OAuth, I wire those flows with explicit user consent—not hidden data harvesting.
Extension users are impatient—if the popup takes more than a few hundred milliseconds, they uninstall. I profile service worker cold starts, cache static assets locally, and defer network calls so the UI feels instant even when your API is waking from sleep.
Whether the extension augments a SaaS dashboard, intercepts downloads, or injects helpful context on partner sites, I document the single primary purpose Chrome reviewers expect—clarity reduces rejection cycles and user confusion alike.
Who this is for
- Product teams adding a browser companion to an existing web service
- Developers who want a reusable extension framework for multiple branded releases
- Privacy-conscious tools that need transparent permission scopes
- Founders targeting worldwide Chrome Web Store distribution from day one
- Security and productivity tools that must pass Chrome Web Store policy review on first submission
- B2B tools whose users live in Chrome all day and want shortcuts without leaving the tab
Who this is not for
- ×Extensions whose primary purpose violates store policies (scraping, circumvention, malware)
- ×Full desktop replacements better built as native apps
- ×Projects expecting Safari extension parity in the same short timeline without separate WebKit work

How I work
Step 1: Permission minimization
I draft the narrowest host permissions and storage access the feature truly needs—stores and users both reward restraint, with a written justification ready for Chrome policy reviewers.
Step 2: Core engine & UI shell
Shared libraries handle messaging, storage, and API calls; UI layers stay swappable for white-label variants without duplicating security-sensitive networking code.
Step 3: Cross-browser QA
I test on current Chrome stable and Edge, verifying service worker wake behavior and storage quotas.
Step 4: Store review package
Screenshots, descriptions, and policy questionnaires are completed before first submission to reduce rejection cycles.
Step 5: Release train
Version bumps, changelog discipline, and staged rollout percentages for risky updates, with rollback zips ready if Chrome Web Store metrics show elevated uninstall rates.

Yes. I refactor background pages to service workers, replace blocking webRequest usage, and retest all content script injections.
