Rule summary

  • Follow Reddit's global rules and Reddiquette: Follow all of Reddit's global, sitewide rules, and follow Reddiquette
  • Keep posts and comments constructive: Keep all comments and posts constructive. Negative opinions are welcome, but they should remain constructive.
  • All posts should be about Chrome Extensions: All posts should be about chrome extensions. News, announcements, talk etc.
  • No Spam: No website spam, misleading websites, malicious websites, clickbait, etc. If you are found to be spamming across multiple subreddits, you will be reported to admins.
  • No Piracy: All posts and comments regarding piracy will be deleted.
  • No NSFW Content.: Links to NSFW content is not permitted.
  • No Vote Brigading: No vote brigading. We understand that you may not like a certain user or a certain extension, but vote brigading is against Reddit's site wide rules.
  • Moderators have final say.: Moderators may mute, ban, or remove posts as they see fit.

Works well

  • A post titled "What I learned building a chrome extension for tab management" that shares a real build lesson and invites questions.
  • A technical question like "How do you handle manifest v3 service worker shutdowns in your extension?" that sparks discussion among builders.
  • A post that shows your extension solving a specific problem, with the code or approach explained, so the value is in the explanation rather than a bare link.
  • A feedback request like "What would make this chrome extension useful for your workflow?" that asks the community to weigh in on a real design choice.

Avoid

  • Do not post anything that is not about chrome extensions, as the rule "All posts should be about Chrome Extensions" will get it removed.
  • Do not share links to piracy or NSFW content, because "No Piracy" and "No NSFW Content." are both enforced.
  • Do not post website spam, misleading websites, malicious websites, or clickbait, since the "No Spam" rule covers all of those and can lead to an admin report.
  • Do not organize or join vote brigading against a user or extension, because "No Vote Brigading" is against sitewide rules.

What r/chrome_extensions Is For

This community is for learning, sharing, building, and discussing chrome extensions. The public description says it covers news, announcements, and talk about chrome extensions. Anyone who builds, uses, or studies chrome extensions fits here.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The rule "All posts should be about Chrome Extensions" is the gatekeeper for any marketing-adjacent post, because anything not about chrome extensions will be removed. The "No Spam" rule matters next, because it bans website spam, misleading websites, malicious websites, and clickbait, and it warns that spammers across multiple subreddits will be reported to admins. The "Keep posts and comments constructive" rule decides tone, since negative opinions are allowed but must stay constructive. The rule "Moderators have final say." gives moderators the power to mute, ban, or remove posts as they see fit, so their judgment controls everything.

What To Post

A good post here is directly about chrome extensions, whether that is a build story, a technical question, or a genuine lesson from launching one. You can share your own extension if the post teaches something real, like how you solved a permissions problem or what users said after an update. Tie every point back to chrome extensions so the post fits the rule "All posts should be about Chrome Extensions." Keep the tone constructive, because the rule "Keep posts and comments constructive" allows negative opinions only when they stay useful.

What To Avoid

Avoid anything that is not about chrome extensions, because the rule "All posts should be about Chrome Extensions" will catch it. Avoid website spam, misleading websites, malicious websites, and clickbait, since the "No Spam" rule bans them and warns that cross-subreddit spammers get reported to admins. Avoid piracy and NSFW links, because "No Piracy" and "No NSFW Content." are both explicit rules. Avoid vote brigading against any user or extension, because "No Vote Brigading" is enforced. Avoid unconstructive negativity, because the "Keep posts and comments constructive" rule requires even negative opinions to stay useful.
