ByteBuffer game

Minesweeper

Clear the grid one cell at a time—in Chrome’s side panel. Install ByteBuffer for a quiet Minesweeper round without leaving the tab you’re on.

Add to Chrome
Alt Shift B Open the panel

Play Minesweeper in the side panel after you install the extension. This page is an intro only—it does not run the game in the browser tab.

What it is

Minesweeper is ByteBuffer’s classic mine-clearing puzzle. Open safe cells, flag the rest, and clear the board without hitting a mine. Pick a difficulty that fits the break you have—then stop when work calls.

It runs in Chrome’s side panel beside your current page. After you open it once, ByteBuffer can cache Minesweeper on this device for offline play.

How to play

  1. Add ByteBuffer to Chrome from the Web Store.
  2. Open the side panel with the toolbar icon or Alt+Shift+B (Option+Shift+B on Mac).
  3. Choose Minesweeper from the game list.
  4. Click or tap to open a cell; flag mines when you’re sure. Clear every safe cell to finish the board.
  5. Press the same shortcut again when you want to close the panel and continue.

Why the side panel

  • Plays offline

    After Minesweeper is cached on your device, you can keep playing with no network.

  • One-key close

    Close the side panel in one keystroke and return to the page you were on.

  • Stay in the tab

    No new window. The layout is made for a narrow column beside your work.

In the Chrome side panel

Install the extension to open ByteBuffer beside the page you’re already looking at. Minesweeper and the other casual games appear in that panel—not on this marketing page.
