I am not familiar with Javascript, HTML or CSS enough to be able to code a chrome extension. May I know how to go about it or if anyone can make one for me? Thank you. I will only be using it for personal use for reading novels online.

Been a while since I made a chrome extension, but lets see....

Create a folder and create two files: manifest.json and script.js
JSON: 
{
  "name": "Paragraph breaker",
  "description": "This extension will add a line break after every paragraph",
  "version": "1.0",
  "manifest_version": 3,
  "content_scripts": [{
    "matches": ["https://www.example.com/*"],     //the website you want to add the line breaks to. If you want it to work on all websites use *://*/*
    "js": ["script.js"],
    "run_at": "document_end"
   }]
}
JavaScript: 
var p = document.querySelectorAll("p");

p.forEach(function(item, index, arr) {
  var br = document.createElement("br");
  arr[index].parentNode.insertBefore(br, arr[index].nextSibling);
})

Now go to Chrome (or any chromium based browser) and go to extensions. Next turn on "developer mode" and click load unpacked. Go to your extension folder, and open it.

Hey, I tried this but it is not working.
I made a manifest.json and script.js file.
I also changed the name of the website. I want to use it for: novelbin.com
I load unpacked in chrome extensions and used the extension but it did not add br tags (or breaks in the text) in the webpage.
