    Read the documentation: [https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/)

    Create a manifest file.
    Load your unpacked extension into Chrome.
    Create a user interface.
    Create a background script.
    Add content scripts.
    Package the extension.
    Tip: The manifest file must specify at least "name":, "version":, "icons": and "description":.
    Tip: Set the initial version number in the manifest to a low value, such as 0.0.0.1. That way, you have room to increase the version number when you upload new versions of your item.
    Launch the extension.
