As a final project, I was asked to develop a chrome extension that Blocks movies/series Spoilers. I don't know where to start, couldn't find any helpful resource.
I would like you to explain to me how these types of application work, where do I need to start, Does my application need a database?

I don't know if it's the right place to ask this kind of question or not, but I don't know another place to ask it so thanks in advance

There is already a spoiler blocker extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/spoiler-protection-20/eelacikjiplnmdingehjfdjcfegclmkg

You can install that extension and see how it works, what is does, when you like to develop your own spoiler blocker.

I think you dont need any database.

Hint: Here is a good place to start with a chrome extension. See https://github.com/bfred-it/Awesome-WebExtensions

There are also good resources here in stackoverflow: see Chrome Extension: How to create?

Note: could explain in detail what do you really want to do? Are you experienced in building a chrome-extension? When not follow the Awesome-WebExtensions link. When you have experience in building of a chrome extension then install the extension (see above) and look how it works and think about what how to split that extension in small pieces in order to find a start point.

  • Look at here: https://github.com/mdn/webextensions-examples ! There are many examples how to do thinks with a extension. You have to have a strong will and hold on. No matter how long that takes :) – Serkan Sipahi Sep 12 '18 at 09:50
