-ext suffix

-ext suffix on Chrome extension repo names (oriz-<name>-ext)

-ext suffix

Definition

The -ext suffix is the family naming convention for browser extension repositories: oriz-<name>-ext (e.g. oriz-foo-ext).

Expanded

The suffix makes extensions immediately distinguishable from sites in GitHub listings and in the master repo’s submodule tree. Each extension lives at extensions/<name>/ (the directory drops the oriz- prefix and -ext suffix because the parent path already disambiguates) but the underlying repo keeps the full oriz-<name>-ext name.

Every extension is published to Chrome, Firefox, and Edge stores via its own GitHub Actions workflow.
