I was just wondering what the latest development in extensions/add-ons for Chrome was? Is Google Chrome going to go with greasemonkey as the extension system or something else? What are they thoughts on an extension system? Is it going to be entirely in JavaScript? I would think that creating extensions for a web browser should be as easy as creating web sites or bookmarklets.
I have some ideas. Maybe the extension system could be just bookmarklets that automatically run on specified sites at start up or other specific events. What if bookmarklets could contain newline characters. What if there was a bookmarklets folder to the far left of your bookmarks bar that looked like a gear icon. Here's how it could work: Every bookmarklet could contain a list of domains that it would be automatically run at. There could also be an option for the bookmarklet to run on every domain. I could see how this posses some security issues, but isn't this how greasemonkey works? Anyway, what are the plans for an extension system in Google Chrome? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Discussion mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-discuss -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
