How to Create a Chrome Extension 💖🐱💻❓
Have you ever wanted to create your own Chrome extension? Have you ever wondered how difficult the process would be? Well, it turns out it is super easy — probably a lot easier than you ever imagined.

What We are going to Build ❓

We will also have an editor text page where links are stored for the first time. Last⏮ but not the least, we will see how we can easily load💨 the extension.
What is a Chrome Extension❓
Before we get started building our extension, it’s probably a good idea to have a basic understanding of what a Chrome extension is and how Chrome extensions work.
