Description


Is there any formal process for developing extensions for Brave? What about an extension gallery?

I'd like to give it a go and develop an extension myself, that's why I'm interested.

So...basically, the only way possible is through some hacky injection way? That's pretty disappointing.

I believe at the moment yes, not 100% sure. But, as he mentioned more extension support will be coming.

@fristys There are tons of extensions that need contributions. You can check the list here

You can start working on any extension and submit a PR. You can refer to guidelines here. Someone from the team would be glad to help you out
