By default, WXT will launch Chrome for development. If you’re running into a warning like this:
Loading of unpacked extensions is disabled by the administrator
You’ll need to use Firefox instead. Personally, I recommend Zen.
Here’s an example web-ext.config.ts
to switch to Zen on macOS:
import { defineRunnerConfig } from "wxt";
export default defineRunnerConfig({
binaries: {
firefox: "/Users/<user>/Applications/Zen Browser.app/Contents/MacOS/zen",
},
});
