Built a chrome extension with GitHub Copilot?
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 GitHub Copilot apps
Building a chrome extension with GitHub Copilot 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 GitHub Copilot chrome extension
Common GitHub Copilot issues we fix
Beyond chrome extension-specific issues, these are GitHub Copilot patterns we commonly fix.
Insecure code patterns from training data
Copilot sometimes suggests patterns from its training data that are known to be insecure — like using eval(), innerHTML, or outdated crypto functions.
Hardcoded secrets in suggestions
Copilot occasionally suggests placeholder API keys or credentials that look real and get committed to version control.
Inconsistent code style across files
Different completions use different patterns — sometimes callbacks, sometimes async/await, sometimes .then(). The codebase becomes inconsistent over time.
Subtly incorrect logic
Copilot completions often look correct but contain off-by-one errors, wrong comparison operators, or missed edge cases that cause intermittent bugs.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a chrome extension with GitHub Copilot?
GitHub Copilot is a great starting point for a chrome extension. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but chrome extension apps have specific requirements — manifest v3 compliance and permission minimization — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does GitHub Copilot leave in chrome extension apps?
Common issues include: insecure code patterns from training data, hardcoded secrets in suggestions, inconsistent code style across files. For a chrome extension specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for manifest v3 compliance.
How do I make my GitHub Copilot chrome extension production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most GitHub Copilot-built chrome extension apps, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
