Can AI Rebuild a Chrome Extension? (I Used ChatGPT , Claude, & Manus)

Can a large language model (LLM) handle a complex coding task like rebuilding a Chrome extension from scratch? In this video, I put AI to the ultimate test.

I took a top-rated Chrome extension called "Blurred Out" and challenged ChatGPT and Claude to rebuild it, using only a text prompt and screenshots.

We dive deep into the AI-powered development process, from generating the initial manifest file, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to debugging and refining the final product. The results are surprising, demonstrating just how powerful modern AI is for multi-file coding projects.

In this tutorial, you'll see:
The full process of building a functional Chrome extension with AI.
How to write effective prompts to generate a multi-file project.
A side-by-side comparison of the original extension vs. the AI-rebuilt version.
The power of AI to handle complex tasks that go beyond simple code snippets.

The final product, "SmartBlur," works, blurs sensitive data on websites like Reddit, and even has a new export feature. While it's not perfect, the results show that AI can be a powerful partner for developers.
