Browser Extensions

Michael Miller

As a seasoned developer with a passion for creating innovative browser extensions, I specialize in building tools that enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and improve user experiences. I’ve designed and developed a diverse range of extensions tailored to meet the needs of both individual users and organizations. While some of my extensions are publicly available, others were developed ahead of any similar solutions on the market, tailored to address unique challenges for specific teams or projects and remain private. Each extension was designed to fill a gap and offer innovative solutions where none existed before.

From optimizing video playback on ultrawide screens to ensuring seamless access to essential tools for teams, my extensions are crafted with precision, functionality, and user-friendliness in mind. Each extension is designed to solve specific challenges, whether it’s enhancing the viewing experience on Disney+ or simplifying link management across web pages.

Each extension I’ve developed reflects my dedication to solving real-world challenges with intuitive design and seamless functionality. By focusing on creating tools that are not only easy to use but highly effective, I strive to help users boost their productivity and make every task online more enjoyable.
