Extensity-Plus

Extensity-Plus is a Chrome Manifest V3 extension manager focused on fast popup workflows, reusable profiles, URL rules, and a full management dashboard.

It keeps the original Extensity idea simple, but expands it into a more complete daily-use tool:

• popup-first enable/disable flows
• special profiles like Always On, Base, and Favorites
• searchable, sortable extension lists
• profile-based extension sets
• URL-triggered automation
• dashboard tools for history, aliases, groups, rules, and backup

What It Looks Like

Popup: quick actions and profile-aware controls

The popup is built for fast toggling, search, sorting, profile badges, and inline per-extension actions.

Popup: profile dropdown with special profiles

Profile membership can be edited directly from the popup, including Always On, Base, Favorites, and custom profiles.

Profiles page

The Profiles page is where you shape named extension sets, review profile membership, and manage reserved profiles alongside custom ones.

Options page

The Options page controls popup layout, density, sorting defaults, appearance, and behavior-level settings.

Dashboard and URL rules

The Dashboard brings together history, groups, aliases, import/export, and URL rules with live rule testing.

Core Features

Popup controls

• Enable or disable extensions from the popup.
• Toggle all extensions off and restore them with one action.
• Undo the last reversible toggle action.
• Search by extension name, alias, or description.
• Sort by A-Z, recent use, or usage frequency.
• Switch between list and grid views.
• Manage profile membership directly from expanded popup rows.
• Show profile badges, special-profile status, and keyboard-friendly controls.

Profiles

• Save reusable extension sets as profiles.
• Apply profiles from the popup.
• Keep Always On, Base, and Favorites as special profile layers.
• Rename custom profiles inline.
• Select multiple profiles and bulk delete them.
• Choose the layout used on the Profiles page.
• Cycle profiles with Chrome keyboard shortcuts.

Dashboard

• Manage aliases for installed extensions.
• Create and edit groups.
• Create, test, and edit URL rules.
• Review extension event history.
• Export inventory as CSV.
• Import and export full backup data.

Data and automation

• Save lightweight preferences in chrome.storage.sync.
• Save larger or device-specific data in chrome.storage.local.
• Track history and usage counters.
• Schedule reminder notifications after manual enable flows.
• Apply URL-based enable/disable rules in the background service worker.
• Export and import a versioned backup envelope.

Architecture

Extensity-Plus uses a background-owned state model:

• js/background.js owns extension enable/disable mutations.
• Popup, options, profiles, and dashboard pages communicate through a background message API.
• Undo history, reminders, usage counters, and event history are updated through the same mutation path.
• Larger collections like aliases, groups, rules, and history stay out of sync storage to avoid quota pressure.

Main UI surfaces:

• index.html: popup
• options.html: options page
• profiles.html: profile editor
• dashboard.html: management dashboard

Supporting modules:

• js/storage.js
• js/migration.js
• js/import-export.js
• js/url-rules.js
• js/history-logger.js
• js/reminders.js
• js/drive-sync.js

Credits and Inspiration

The main inspiration for this project is the original sergiokas/Extensity repo and the broader Extensity open-source lineage.

Additional feature direction and UX ideas were informed by:

• hankxdev/one-click-extensions-manager
• JasonGrass/auto-extension-manager
• jeevan-lal/Extensity-Ultra

Notes

• This repo is a local evolution of the Extensity concept, not the original upstream release branch.
• Google Drive backup support is still partial because OAuth configuration is not complete.
• If you plan to publish this fork to the Chrome Web Store, review permissions, listing content, privacy disclosures, and OAuth requirements before submission.
