COVID-19 Patient Statistics | Chrome Extension

Hello guys, hope you all are well.

Most of them wondered how it would be to create a Chrome extension? Well, I’m here to tell you just how easy it is. Follow these steps and your idea will turn into reality and you’ll be able to publish a real extension in your chrome browser with no time.

Here, I have provided the step by step guide on how to use COVID-19 Patient Statistics Chrome Extension.

What is a Chrome extension?

Chrome extensions allow you to add functionality to the Chrome web browser without diving deeply into native code. That’s awesome because you can create new extensions for Chrome with core technologies that web developers are very familiar with — HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. If you’ve ever built a web page, you’ll will be able to create an extension faster than you can have lunch. The only thing you need to learn is how to add some functionality to Chrome through some of the JavaScript APIs that Chrome exposes.

If you’re not experienced yet in building web pages, I recommend you first dive into some free resources to learn how to code, like freeCodeCamp.
