I like this. It doesn't seem hugely useful, but if you're willing to implement it I don't see a huge problem with it.
We would start it out in the experimental namespace (see how history is implemented today). Regarding your open questions: "Should plugin and extension processes be tracked as well? What about the browser kernel process? " That seems useful. "If so, how can callers specify which plugin or extension Process object they want?" There could be an extensionID property or a plugin mimeType property. That may not really be necessary for v1 though. "Is an onUpdated event that reports when a tab is added to or removed from a process useful? Or should developers just listen to tab creations, removals, and navigations?" It is pretty easy to use chrome.tabs.onUpdate. Maybe start with a minimal API and see if developers request more. "Should we maintain a list of tabs associated with a process, or should we let developers do that by looping over the current tabs?" That seems useful. - a On Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 9:46 AM, Charlie Reis <cr...@chromium.org> wrote: > Hi folks-- > I've put together a proposal for a Chromium extensions module that exposes > data about the browser's processes.
