All the Chrome Extensions from the Youtube tutorial series!

A collection of beginner Chrome extension examples built to accompany a YouTube tutorial series. Five small projects covering popup UI, content scripts, background pages, and chrome.storage — enough to see the basic moving parts of the Extensions API without anything production-scale.

Each extension is self-contained and short enough to read in one sitting. The examples cover distinct APIs (content scripts in PageFontStyle, speech synthesis in Speak, event pages for background work) rather than repeating the same pattern five times. Good starting point for someone who learns better from working code than from docs alone.

Still using Manifest V2 — the event pages and background scripts here won't work in Chrome without porting to MV3 service workers, which Chrome has been enforcing since mid-2023. jQuery bundled per-extension rather than using chrome.scripting or native fetch is dated. Abandoned since 2020 with no updates, so anyone following along will hit compatibility walls immediately. There's no README or index explaining which extension demonstrates what.
