This was incredibly easy to follow, code, with minimal errors on my end. Ryan was very easy to understand. This is one of the few courses I've completed and I will gladly check out any new courses if he makes more.

Very good course. You can learn very quickly to write extensions for Chrome. The instructor explains everything very well and he responds very quickly to questions in the Q&A section. Highly recommended if you want to start to write chrome extensions!

This is a crisp course which gets you started with Chrome extension development and this is exactly what I was looking for. I also went on to purchase Ryan's extension kit and am hoping to speed up my go to market with a chrome extension.

great tutorial and walk though the development process of the chrome extensions, one suggestion is that we could contains a larger project in order to get our hands dirty to a more detailed concepts for the extension

Excellent so far. Was waiting for a course that covered manifest 3, to learn extension dev't, instead of just flying by the seat of my pants, trying to google for everything I needed, but not knowing what I'm doing every time I need a new extension.

Excellent course, very concise and to the point. I do wish the font size would have been bigger but besides that I highly recommend it!

So far, it's just what I needed. I need to familiarize with Chrome Extensions because I need to migrate one to manifest V3 at work. I had a hard time with the official online documentation for Chrome Extensions, but this course is really guiding me through. And the lecturer has been pretty responsive to my questions.

Ryan is very good at explaining each piece of the code and takes the right amount of time to make it easy to digest. Each lecture teaches you something useful and uses real-life examples. If you're looking to build a Chrome Extension, this is a great place to start.
