- Open your text editor and create four new files and name them manifest.json, popup.html, popup.css, popup.js.
- Leave them blank for now.
- Fill in the name, description and default title fields according to what you would like to call your extension and how you would describe it.
- Add your extension’s title in the title field.
- This will create a web page that will be attached to your extension’s icon in the browser.
