How does this compare to WXT[0]? I recently built a new tab extension[1] which uses quite a few permissions and browser APIs and building for Chrome and Firefox was a non-thought with how seamless compilation and distribution was.

It even separates the built extension code and the source and packages it nicely for firefox's review process.

There is a faq entry about that on tfa. The main differences are use of rsbuild (not a big diff down the line I expect, since vite uses rolldown now), and design to accommodate llm agentic development.

I did read that LLM generated paragraph but I was thinking there was some architectural difference/some improvement to existing tooling.

I don't mean to sound too dismissive but just slapping on rsbuild and well formatted errors + llms.txt doesn't seem that useful?

Wow a bunch of generated text that tells me everything is covered. Also using the same style as FF, along with suffixing kt with fox.

I sure wonder where you got the inspiration from! (If there was any).
