Browser Extension Activity

I have been working with Polina and Chuqiao on the in-class Add-On Activity, including the assignment to build our own browswer extension. We’ve completed parts 1-3, which included tutorials on how to create a browser extension (which we chose to do in Firefox) and some exploration exercises to familiarize ourselves with some information about open-source projects and browser extensions.
