## What it is
A Vite-powered starter template for building cross-browser WebExtensions (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) with Vue 3 and TypeScript. It bundles instant HMR, content-script Vue injection, webext-bridge messaging, UnoCSS, and auto-import tooling out of the box.

## Use cases
- scaffold a chrome extension with vue 3
- build a firefox webextension with vite
- develop browser extension with hot module reload
- inject a vue app into a content script
- typescript browser extension starter
- cross-browser extension template with manifest v3

## When to choose
- you want a batteries-included Vue 3 + Vite setup for a Chrome/Firefox extension
- you need HMR during extension development instead of manual reloads
- you want typed manifest.json and auto-imported components/icons

## When to avoid
- you prefer React, Svelte, or vanilla JS instead of Vue 3
- you need a production application rather than a starting template
- you're building a non-browser-extension project
