Because a video sometimes is better than words…



This tiny video shows the actual state of extension support:

– we can manage chrome extensions (I just copied examples from here): we can recognize unpacked extensions, install, enable/disable. (oops.. uninstall/delete missing. Adding next days..)

– we can interpret (a bit) the version 2 manifest.json inside

– we can manage browse actions

– we can manage page actions

– we can open popups

So, the first easy step is done. Now what to really say we are supporting chrome extensions? Here is my todo list:

– support chrome object and (a subset of) its API (very long task)

– support the callback mechanism (really hard, this is the trick missing to say we’ll reach one day our goal)

– implement a way to retrieve extensions (support chrome extensions site? seems problematic. Add a ghns layer? Should do the trick. Probably…)

– ehm… port/implement extensions 😉

Stay tuned.
