Built a chrome extension with Same.dev?
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 Same.dev apps
Building a chrome extension with Same.dev 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 Same.dev chrome extension
Common Same.dev issues we fix
Beyond chrome extension-specific issues, these are Same.dev patterns we commonly fix.
Cloned design may violate original site's copyright
Same.dev reproduces visual layouts, color schemes, and component structures from existing sites. Using a competitor's or commercial site's design as your starting point can constitute copyright infringement or unfair competition.
No backend or API layer generated
Same.dev clones frontend presentation only. Navigation links, forms, and interactive elements exist in the UI but have no server, database, or API behind them — everything requires backend implementation from scratch.
Scraped content and assets need full replacement
Generated codebases contain the original site's text, images, and media as placeholder content. Shipping with scraped third-party assets is a licensing violation and a branding problem.
Broken interactions from missing state management
Dropdowns, modals, carousels, and tabs are rendered structurally but wired to no logic. Interactive elements appear functional in the UI but do nothing on click.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a chrome extension with Same.dev?
Same.dev 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 Same.dev leave in chrome extensions?
Common issues include: cloned design may violate original site's copyright, no backend or api layer generated, scraped content and assets need full replacement. For a chrome extension specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for manifest v3 compliance.
How do I make my Same.dev chrome extension production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Same.dev-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 Same.dev-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.
