Sad to be missing the eclipse, but I’m currently on a work trip somewhere where it won’t be visible. Even if it was visible, I don’t want to be accused of moonlighting 🤭

I’ve been playing around with using Antigravity to build Chrome Extensions. Here’s a video with a look at how I set things up, including things I add to the agent’s context: youtu.be/i1OCGChwO_I?...

Are folks mostly interacting with agents in the foreground when coding with LLMs, or has running agents in the background taken over?

Can you use React to build a Chrome Extension? What about Angular and Svelte? (Spoiler: Yes, you can!) This video from a couple of weeks ago has the answer, along with some general advice: youtu.be/XfsXCfv7wKM?...

@danabra.mov Hey Dan! I’d like to make some videos on the Chrome for Developers channel about when React makes sense in Chrome Extensions and how to use it best. Would you be interested in being a guest or providing some input?

If you’re using server-side AI models, you usually need an API key to call them. A couple of weeks back I made a video looking at how to handle that in a Chrome extension: youtu.be/pl4pz4nWa3w

At the moment, it only supports Cloudflare, but if there’s interest I’d love to extend it to all of the major CDNs.

The story: I couldn’t load some sites while flying during the Cloudflare outage. I assumed it was flight WiFi, but didn’t think to check for wider issues. I hope this will help the next time.

This first topic is often hard to speak to (what works for you might not work for others) but it is by far the most common topic we get asked about in the extensions space. Future episodes tackle some more technical topics and we're able to get into some more detail.

We just published the first episode in a new series, "Developer Mode", on the Chrome for Developers YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wkhl... I'm really excited about this one. We're experimenting with the style and trying to focus more on developer questions.
