FAQ: Extensions vs Plugin
You've probably used web browser extensions to enhance your online experience. Likewise, you may have heard about React Plugins in the context of WebCrumbs. Despite some similarities, these two are fundamentally different. Here's how:
A web browser extension is a piece of software that adds specific functionalities to your web browser. It operates at the browser level, meaning it can interact with any website you visit, regardless of the technology used to build that site. Extensions can block ads, manage passwords, or even change a website's appearance. However, they are not specific to any particular web development framework.
A React Plugin, on the other hand, is specific to React applications. It's a pre-configured, ready-to-use feature that adds specific functionalities directly to a React project. Unlike browser extensions, React Plugins operate at the application level, affecting only the React app they are installed in.
WebCrumbs focuses on providing business-oriented React Plugins that you can integrate effortlessly via a no-code interface. These plugins work exclusively within your React application, bringing specialized, community-driven functionalities to solve real-world business problems.
