Built a chrome extension with Trae?
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 Trae apps
Building a chrome extension with Trae 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 Trae chrome extension
Common Trae issues we fix
Beyond chrome extension-specific issues, these are Trae patterns we commonly fix.
Chinese-language comments and variable names in generated code
Trae occasionally generates inline comments or even variable names in Chinese, particularly for UI-related code, which creates readability issues for teams that operate in English and can complicate code review.
Missing authentication on generated API routes and backend endpoints
Like many AI code generators, Trae creates backend routes without authentication middleware, leaving all endpoints publicly accessible. This is a critical issue for any app handling user data.
Inconsistent coding style across components in the same project
Trae may switch between different state management patterns (useState vs. Pinia vs. Vuex), component styles, or file organization conventions across files in the same generation session, requiring normalization before merging.
Error handling in generated code is immature compared to more established tools
As a newer tool, Trae's error handling patterns are less consistent than Cursor or Copilot — generated code often omits catch blocks on async operations and lacks UI feedback for error states.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a chrome extension with Trae?
Trae 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 Trae leave in chrome extensions?
Common issues include: chinese-language comments and variable names in generated code, missing authentication on generated api routes and backend endpoints, inconsistent coding style across components in the same project. For a chrome extension specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for manifest v3 compliance.
How do I make my Trae chrome extension production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Trae-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 Trae-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.
