With as much experience and knowledge I have about browser extension development, you create them using JavaScript/TypeScript.

Although I am a fan of TypeScript and have been using it almost everywhere for past couple of months, I used JavaScript for this project as it was really small and I didn't want to overcomplicate it as this is my first time building a browser extension.

I might rewrite the extension in TypeScript in the future.

Anytime. Thanks for the kind words. Truth be told, this extension is very basic. Like literally at the core, the logic of this extension is like 10 lines of code. You will be building better stuff than this. Go get it!

Star the GitHub repo if you haven't, I would really appreciate that.
