CPU Information Browser Extension

  Browser Extension

Inspiration

I need to find out my CPU usage instantly, so I discovered to make an extension for that, which is readily available on the browser.

What it does

It basically fetches CPU information from the system APIs at intended intervals (which can be selected from a dropdown) and displays the information thereupon the extension.

How I built it

I've built using simple HTML, CSS, and Js, and by configuring the service workers alongside for background scripting.

Challenges I ran into

Initially, I find it somewhat difficult to operate on the latest version of the manifest (v3), which is using service workers rather than background scripts. The tutorials and docs that I'd gone through were of manifest v2, but I find it quite entertaining to do so.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

This is my very first chrome extension, that I have made. I'm really proud of the work I did. As I gave my best to do so.

What I learned

How to handle the manifest and the service worker alongside, and foremost, I have learnt about the extensions and how these work.

What's next for CPU Information Browser Extension

I will be getting more information up to be displayed on the extension so that all the key information will be readily available at just one click away.
