A cross-browser system for building browser extensions using standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript APIs.

The WebExtensions API provides a unified framework for developers to build powerful browser enhancements compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. By utilizing the manifest.json file and standardized JavaScript APIs (such as tabs, storage, and runtime), developers can write a single codebase that reaches billions of users. This system replaced legacy architectures like XUL and XPCOM, ensuring better security through sandboxing and improved performance via non-blocking asynchronous calls. Whether you are building an ad blocker, a password manager, or a productivity tool, this API offers the essential hooks into browser UI and network traffic needed for modern web customization.

### [Unlocking AHA Moments: AI-Powered Automation for Browser Tasks](https://munich.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_foQGjsfIid8)

You are probably familiar with a problem starting to use a new product, for example Google Cloud Platform. There are so many options available that you are getting overwhelmed and do not know where to click to achieve your goals. That is why companies like render, supabase or vercel are getting so popular, because they are simple! Our goal is to bridge this gap and unlock every product to end user. I will demo a new experience for Product/Customer Success teams that will help their end customers to get into AHA moments faster and achieve their goals. You can easily record product tours, then adjust, modify and personalize them based on your customer goals. Everything is powered with the latest AI models.
