The Station of Appreciation for Understimulation
2 hours of coding and I’m fully done with my first browser extension! I mostly made this to teach myself how to make extensions for both Chromium and Firefox (which are actually extremely similar, good to know!)
All it does is listen for when a new YouTube tab is opened, checks how many you already have open, and closes it if there are too many. It also uses the storage API to save the user preference of how many they can have open at a time. Hopefully this helps to stop someone’s (and my) future unhealthy binging session.
Making this was basically a sequence of copying generic code from Chrome’s docs, making some slight tweaks by looking at docs, rinse and repeat. AI was occasionally used when debugging the insanely vague error messages JS gives.
