RotMG Minimal

A Chrome extension that strips the Realm of the Mad God website down to just the game, scaling it to fill the entire browser window.

Realm of the Mad God is a browser-based bullet hell MMO with a devoted following — but the game is buried in a website full of navigation, ads, and chrome that eats screen real estate and distracts from the action. RotMG Minimal fixes that with a single-purpose Chrome extension.

Once installed, the extension strips everything from the page except the game itself and keeps it scaled and centered within the browser window at any window size. No more sidebar, no more clutter — just the dungeon crawler filling your tab. It’s the kind of quality-of-life tool that makes a game you already enjoy substantially more playable.

Built in 2011 during the height of RotMG’s popularity, this is a snapshot of early browser extension development — minimal JavaScript, direct DOM manipulation, and a sharp focus on doing exactly one thing well.
