Product Highlights
If you’ve ever built browser extensions, you know the pain of configuring environments and managing builds. WXT swallows all that friction whole—built-in tools for dev, zip, and publish let you hit the ground running. I tried it: feels like Vite for extensions, with instant hot reload, native TypeScript, and auto-imports. Pick any frontend framework? No sweat. Remember struggling with MV2/MV3 compatibility? It handles it automatically. Bundling remote code? One config line. It even analyzes bundle size to keep your extension lean. Perfect for indie devs shipping side projects fast, or teams standardizing their workflow. Maybe even automate custom browser tools?
