Extension Development

Turbo Browser is Chromium-based, so extension development follows the same model as Chrome. Use the Extensions page to load, debug, and pack extensions.

Open the Extensions page

Enter in the address bar:

chrome://extensions

Or go to Menu → Extensions → Manage extensions.

chrome://extensions management page

Developer actions

The top of the Extensions page provides common development tools:

ActionDescription
Load unpackedPoint to a local extension source folder for development
Pack extensionCreate a .crx or .pem key file
UpdateReload loaded extensions

TIP

Loading unpacked extensions usually requires Developer mode (toggle on the page — exact UI may vary).

Developer documentation

The Extensions page sidebar links to Turbo extension developer documentation for APIs and updates.

Publish and install

When ready, you can distribute extensions by:

  • Submitting to the Chrome Web Store or Microsoft Edge Add-ons (links at the bottom of the Extensions page)
  • Packing as .crx and installing in Turbo

See Extensions for store entry points.

Compatibility

Turbo Browser supports most Chrome extension APIs and Manifest V3 extensions. Extensions that rely on Chrome-only services or unsupported APIs may not work — test on your target Turbo build.
