Built a chrome extension with ZenCoder?
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 ZenCoder apps
Building a chrome extension with ZenCoder 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 ZenCoder chrome extension
Common ZenCoder issues we fix
Beyond chrome extension-specific issues, these are ZenCoder patterns we commonly fix.
Automated reviews miss context-specific security requirements
ZenCoder's automated code reviews apply generic security heuristics. They can miss security risks specific to your domain — healthcare data handling, financial regulations, or multi-tenant isolation requirements.
Generated implementations follow generic patterns, not project conventions
ZenCoder implements features using widely-used patterns from its training rather than the specific conventions, abstractions, and service layers established in your codebase.
Refactored code may break runtime behavior
Automated refactoring changes function signatures, variable names, and module boundaries. Without comprehensive test coverage, these changes can introduce regressions that aren't caught until production.
Review feedback applied without full context
When ZenCoder applies code review suggestions autonomously, it can address the feedback literally without considering the broader implications of the change on related modules.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a chrome extension with ZenCoder?
ZenCoder 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 ZenCoder leave in chrome extensions?
Common issues include: automated reviews miss context-specific security requirements, generated implementations follow generic patterns, not project conventions, refactored code may break runtime behavior. For a chrome extension specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for manifest v3 compliance.
How do I make my ZenCoder chrome extension production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most ZenCoder-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 ZenCoder-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.
