The Marketplace: extensions built by other users

Marketplace in the top navigation is a public library of extensions that PlugThis users have built and chosen to publish.

What is in there

Real extensions from real users, sorted into categories: Productivity, Developer Tools, Lifestyle, Social, Education, Utility, Shopping and Custom. You can search the whole library or sort by newest.

Each card shows the extension, its category and who made it.

Opening one

Clicking through gives you the full picture:

  • What it does, and which category it is in.

  • Every file it contains, so you can see how it was put together.

  • A Code tab with the actual source.

  • A live preview of the popup, running sandboxed. Chrome APIs are simulated there, so anything that depends on a real page will say so rather than pretending.

Two ways to take it

Download ZIP gives you the extension as a folder you can load into Chrome yourself. This works whether or not you are signed in.

Clone to My Extensions copies it into your account so you can change it in the builder, the same way you would with something you built. You need to be signed in for this one.

Why cloning is worth knowing about

Starting from something that already works is usually faster than starting from nothing, especially if what you want is close to something already in there. Clone it, then tell PlugThis what to change.
