Research on best practices for multi browser extension #249

Open kcramakrishna opened 2 years ago

kcramakrishna commented 2 years ago

We need our extension to work on

  1. Chrome (Already working fine)
  2. Edge (TBD but should be straight forward since it is Chrome based)
  3. Firefox (TBD - this might be very different)
  4. Safari (TBD?)

Maintaining different versions can get complicated. We need to research and adopt best practices to reduce maintenance workload.
