Plasmo is an open-source framework and SDK for building browser extensions with React and TypeScript. It handles bundling, manifest generation, hot reloading, and publishing workflows for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge extensions.

Use cases

  • build a chrome extension with react and typescript
  • develop browser extensions without writing boilerplate manifest code
  • hot reload a browser extension during development
  • publish an extension to chrome web store and firefox addons
  • migrate a manifest v2 extension to manifest v3
  • create content scripts and popup UIs for extensions

When to choose

  • you are starting a new browser extension project from scratch
  • you want an integrated build, test, and publish pipeline for extensions
  • you want React/TypeScript support with live reloading in extension development

When to avoid

  • you have a simple extension that does not need a full framework
  • you need fine-grained control over the bundler or manifest generation
  • your extension targets browsers or platforms outside the mainstream Chromium/Firefox ecosystem
