A starter template for building Chrome extensions with TypeScript, React, and Webpack. It includes example code for background scripts, content scripts, options pages, and Chrome storage, plus Jest for testing.

• chrome extension boilerplate with react
• template for building browser extensions with webpack
• example chrome extension with background and content scripts
• set up jest tests for a chrome extension
• typescript starter for manifest v3 extensions

When to choose

• you want a ready-made, actively maintained Chrome extension scaffold with TypeScript and React

When to avoid

• you are building extensions for browsers other than Chrome without adaptation
• you prefer Vite, esbuild, or another bundler over Webpack
