You will learn to inject Content Scripts to manipulate the DOM of visited pages, use Service Workers for background tasks, and design Popup UIs using standard HTML/CSS. We also cover the Storage API for saving user settings and cross-browser compatibility to deploy on Firefox and Edge simultaneously.
