Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of this extension?
Chaos Engineering is the discipline of experimenting on a system in order to build confidence in the system’s capability to withstand turbulent conditions in production.
Even though it is usually applied to infrastructure, we can use Chaos Engineering principles on the front end part of our web applications.
Network, Timers, History, Accessibility, Localization, Inputs: This web extension bundles tools intended to break your apps.

Where does this idea come from?
In October of 2021, I gave a talk at Devfest Nantes titled Art & Entropy: Introducing Chaos to your Frontend.
In it, I experiment with the usage of Chaos Engineering, but applied to the frontend. Someone suggested to me that I build a web extension to bundle everything I presented for easy usage.
A few late evenings later and here we are!
Is this extension open-source?
Yes it is! The license is GNU GPLv3 and you can find the code on Github.
That's a really nice web extension.
