Introduction
Why
WebX Kit is built upon webpack/rspack, and the projects I maintain are primarily webpack-based. It's natural to reuse the existing codebase.
Comparison
There are several key differences I want to emphasize:
- WebX Kit supports HMR for content scripts, but this feature is not supported by WXT or Plasmo. This can impact efficiency when developing an injected user interface.
- WebX Kit has a first-class support for Chrome MV3 only (I have limited energy). If your product requires MV2 or Firefox compatibility, you may need to consider alternative solutions.
- WebX Kit is still under development. Please report any issues you encounter.
