This project uses AI

I have used AI in this project to generate the UI for my extension and for .json integration

Quick update - I fixed the Flavortown integration. Switched from the old fetch-based approach to using declarativeNetRequest rules, which is the proper way to do it. Created a rules.json file that automatically adds the Flavortown header to requests. Updated the manifest to support this and cleaned up the background worker. Pushed everything through git and it’s live now.

Today I’ve made a bunch of updates: the .crx file is now generated properly, and the key.pem has been moved to a secure folder so it’s not exposed in the repo. The README was fixed so the “Install Now” link shows correctly, and instructions for installing via developer mode in Chrome have been added. GitHub Actions is set up to use the secret key safely, and the project folder is organized for future builds and releases.

Shipped this project!

I built a Chrome extension that tracks time spent on websites! The hardest part was getting the tab switching logic right and making the UI look clean. I figured it out by breaking down the Chrome APIs step by step. Really happy with how the dark-themed popup turned out and how smoothly it tracks browsing time :)

I generated a basic UI to make it easily understandable for users to understand what and how much is the extension actually tracking real time.
