Continue + Chrome Extension

Built a chrome extension with Continue?
We'll make it production-ready.

Chrome extensions have unique security considerations — they run in users' browsers with elevated permissions, can access browsing data, and must pass Chrome Web Store review. AI tools can scaffold an extension quickly, but the security requirements, Manifest V3 compliance, and store submission guidelines need careful attention.

Chrome Extension challenges in Continue apps

Building a chrome extension with Continue is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.

Manifest V3 compliance

Chrome is migrating to Manifest V3, which changes how extensions work — service workers instead of background pages, restricted remote code execution, and new permission models. AI tools sometimes generate Manifest V2 code that won't be accepted.

Permission minimization

Chrome Web Store reviews extensions for excessive permissions. Request only the permissions you actually need. AI tools often request broad permissions ('tabs', 'storage', 'activeTab') when narrower permissions would suffice.

Content Security Policy

Extensions must comply with strict CSP rules. No inline scripts, no eval(), no remote code loading. AI-generated code sometimes violates these rules, causing the extension to fail silently.

Data privacy

Extensions that access browsing data must have a privacy policy, explain what data is collected, and handle it securely. Chrome Web Store requires this disclosure for approval.

Cross-browser compatibility

If you want to publish on Firefox, Safari, and Edge too, your extension needs to handle API differences between browsers. AI tools usually target Chrome only.

What we check in your Continue chrome extension

Manifest V3 compliance — service workers, permissions, CSP
Permission minimization — only requesting what's needed
Content security — no eval(), no inline scripts, no remote code
Data handling — privacy policy, secure storage, no unnecessary collection
Error handling — graceful failures, no silent errors
Performance — efficient background processing, minimal memory usage
Chrome Web Store compliance — metadata, screenshots, descriptions

Common Continue issues we fix

Beyond chrome extension-specific issues, these are Continue patterns we commonly fix.

highSecurity

Model-dependent security quality

Security of generated code varies dramatically based on which LLM is connected. Some models produce much less secure code than others.

mediumCode Quality

Inconsistent code patterns between models

Switching between models mid-project produces inconsistent patterns, naming conventions, and error handling approaches in the same codebase.

mediumBugs

Context window limitations causing bugs

When the codebase exceeds the model's context window, Continue loses awareness of existing patterns and introduces contradictory code.

mediumPerformance

Missing performance best practices

Generated code often uses naive algorithms and data structures. Database queries, API calls, and data processing lack optimization.

Frequently asked questions

Can I build a chrome extension with Continue?

Continue is a great starting point for a chrome extension. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but chrome extensions have specific requirements — manifest v3 compliance and permission minimization — that need professional attention before launch.

What issues does Continue leave in chrome extensions?

Common issues include: model-dependent security quality, inconsistent code patterns between models, context window limitations causing bugs. For a chrome extension specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for manifest v3 compliance.

How do I make my Continue chrome extension production-ready?

Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Continue-built chrome extensions, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.

How much does it cost to fix a Continue-built chrome extension?

Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger chrome extension projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
