## What it is
A boilerplate template for building Chrome extensions with React and Redux. It includes hot reloading via Webpack, ES2015+ support with Babel, and E2E testing examples for popup, window, and inject pages.

## Use cases

- boilerplate for react redux browser extension
- hot reloading development setup for chrome extensions

## When to choose
- starting a fresh Chrome extension project with React and Redux
