# How I used GitHub Copilot to build a browser extension

**[GitHub Blog](https://daily.dev/sources/ghblog)** · 10 min read · 90 upvotes · 4 comments

## Summary

For the first time ever, I built a browser extension and did it with the help of GitHub Copilot. I’ve built a rock, paper, scissors game with GitHub Cop Pilot but never a browser Extension. I wanted to create steps that anyone could easily replicate when building this extension, or any other extension.
