Why
New extension users frequently experience immediate friction and high drop-off rates because they are presented with a blank canvas and must configure complex network rules without inline examples or guidance.
To improve early-stage retention and reduce the workspace abandonment rate, we are introducing a self-contained, interactive walkthrough alongside safe, pre-configured sample rules. This onboarding experience is designed to help users understand the extension's core capabilities and successfully activate their first rule in less than a minute.
Key Decisions & Rationale
TourOverlay.tsx): Instead of pulling in a heavy third-party onboarding library that could bloat the extension package and cause layout shifting within the strict540pxpopup width limit, we implemented a lightweight, custom React-based tour. It uses native CSS variables and a high-contrast shadow-scrim masking technique (box-shadow: 0 0 0 9999px var(--scrim)) to isolate target elements cleanly.enabled: false) by default.What Changed
