Built a chrome extension with Replit Agent?
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 Replit Agent apps
Building a chrome extension with Replit Agent 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 Replit Agent chrome extension
Common Replit Agent issues we fix
Beyond chrome extension-specific issues, these are Replit Agent patterns we commonly fix.
Secrets stored in Replit environment
API keys and credentials stored in Replit's secrets manager don't transfer when you export the project. Developers often hardcode them as a workaround, creating security risks.
No HTTPS or security headers
Replit's development environment doesn't enforce HTTPS or set security headers. Apps deployed without proper configuration are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks.
Database connection instability
Replit's hosted databases can disconnect unexpectedly. Without connection pooling and retry logic, apps crash or lose data during these interruptions.
File system assumptions
Replit Agent sometimes writes to the file system assuming persistent storage, which breaks on containerized or serverless deployments.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a chrome extension with Replit Agent?
Replit Agent 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 Replit Agent leave in chrome extensions?
Common issues include: secrets stored in replit environment, no https or security headers, database connection instability. For a chrome extension specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for manifest v3 compliance.
How do I make my Replit Agent chrome extension production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Replit Agent-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 Replit Agent-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.
