## What it is
A Vue CLI 3+ preset for quickly scaffolding a browser web extension built with Vue, Vuex, Vue Router, Axios, Babel, ESLint and Prettier. It handles manifest generation, zip packaging, and hot-reload development via webpack-extension-reloader.

## Use cases
- start a chrome extension with vue
- scaffold a web extension boilerplate
- build a firefox addon using vue
- set up vue cli project for browser extension
- hot reload extension development with webpack
- package web extension as zip for store submission

## When to choose
- you want a Vue 2-based browser extension with a batteries-included toolchain
- you use Vue CLI 3+ and want manifest, zip building, and dev reload out of the box

## When to avoid
- you want Vue 3 or Vite-based extension tooling
- you don't use Vue or Vue CLI
- you need an actively developed scaffold - the project is in maintenance mode
