Moving a browser extension? Check compatibility before coding
Supply extension source and target browser versions to draft API, storage and permission differences with synthetic-data tests and recovery steps.
Execution environment and usage
AI / software
ChatGPT
Where to operate
The ChatGPT web-chat input; this version requests a text draft.
Getting started
- Open an eligible account at chatgpt.com and start a chat without connecting external accounts.
- Use an extension copy you have permission to modify and target browser versions.
- Request the draft/check and compare it with the original material. Suggestions are not evidence of execution.
Setup and plan requirements
Task inputs: Use an extension copy you have permission to modify and target browser versions. Use an eligible tool that can read the supplied format; verify parsing, context limits and access before relying on it.
Prompt portability limits
The written request can be adapted to a chatbot that accepts the same input. It does not transfer the original agent, plugins or computer permissions.
Usage limitations
Supply relevant source code, source/target browser versions and API documentation; output is a risk/test plan, not an installed extension.This independent pass reviewed local case records, without revalidating original sources or hands-on testing.

Original case: The short account contains no complete compatibility or permission test.
步驟 / Steps
- Use an extension copy you have permission to modify and target browser versions.
- Identify API, storage-format and permission differences before defining required features.
- Test core operations and data round trips with synthetic data without unnecessary permissions.
提示詞 / Prompt
Compare [authorized extension copy/source and target browser versions] and draft a porting risk matrix for [required features].

Analyze only; do not extract private browsing data, install, publish or expand permissions.
留意事項 / Cautions

- Do not automatically install extensions, read history or upload tabs.
