Tempo + Chrome Extension

Built a chrome extension with Tempo?
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 Tempo apps

Building a chrome extension with Tempo 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 Tempo 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 Tempo issues we fix

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

highBugs

Generated UI components have no backend wiring and display only static or hardcoded data

Tempo generates visually accurate components but all data is hardcoded or uses placeholder values. Every component needs data fetching, API integration, and state management added before it is functional in a real application.

highSecurity

No authentication or authorization built into generated page components

Pages and layouts generated from Figma designs do not include route protection, session checks, or role-based rendering — all authentication logic must be added separately before the pages handle real users.

mediumCode Quality

Components tightly coupled to Figma design tokens that do not match your design system

Tempo generates components using Tailwind classes and CSS values extracted from Figma, which may not align with your existing design system tokens, theme configuration, or component library — requiring a normalization pass to integrate cleanly.

mediumBugs

No state management architecture — components are purely presentational without interaction logic

Interactive UI elements (dropdowns, modals, tabs, forms) are generated with the correct visual appearance but without state management wiring, requiring developers to add useState, useReducer, or a state library to make them functional.

Frequently asked questions

Can I build a chrome extension with Tempo?

Tempo 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 Tempo leave in chrome extensions?

Common issues include: generated ui components have no backend wiring and display only static or hardcoded data, no authentication or authorization built into generated page components, components tightly coupled to figma design tokens that do not match your design system. For a chrome extension specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for manifest v3 compliance.

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

Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Tempo-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 Tempo-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.
