| 52 <h2>General</h2> |
| 53 <h3 id="faq-gen-01">What are Google Chrome Extensions?</h3> |
| 54 <p> |
| 55 Google Chrome Extensions are applications that run inside the |
| 56 Chrome browser and provide additional functionality, integration with third |
| 57 party websites or services, and customized browsing experiences. |
| 58 </p> |
| 59 <h3 id="faq-dev-01">How can I set up Chrome for extension development?</h3> |
| 60 <p> |
| 61 As long as you are using a version of Chrome that supports |
| 62 extensions, you already have everything you need to start writing an |
| 63 extension of your own. |
| 64 You can start by turning on Developer mode. |
| 65 </p> |
| 66 <p> |
| 67 Click the wrench icon |
| 68 <img src="{{static}}/images/toolsmenu.gif" height="29" width="29" alt="" |
| 69 class="nomargin" /> |
| 70 and select <b>Extensions</b> from the <b>Tools</b> menu. |
| 71 If there's a "+" next to "Developer mode", |
| 72 click the "+" so it turns into a "-". |
| 73 Now you can reload extensions, |
| 74 load an unpacked directory of files as if it were a packaged extension, |
| 75 and more. For a complete tutorial, see |
| 76 <a href="http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/getstarted.html">Getting Sta
rted</a>. |
| 77 </p> |
| 78 <h3 id="faq-gen-02">What technologies are used to write extensions for Chrome?</
h3> |
| 79 <p> |
| 80 Extensions are written using the same standard web |
| 81 technologies that developers use to create websites. HTML is used as a |
| 82 content markup language, CSS is used for styling, and JavaScript for |
| 83 scripting. Because Chrome supports HTML5 and CSS3, developers can |
| 84 use the latest open web technologies such as canvas and CSS animations in |
| 85 their extensions. Extensions also have access to several |
| 86 <a href="http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/api_other.html">JavaScript A
PIs</a> |
| 87 that help perform functions like JSON encoding and interacting with the |
| 88 browser. |
| 89 </p> |
| 90 <h3 id="faq-gen-03">Are extensions fetched from the web every time the browser i
s loaded?</h3> |
| 91 <p> |
| 92 Extensions are downloaded by the Chrome browser upon install, and |
| 93 are subsequently run off of the local disk in order to speed up |
| 94 performance. However, if a new version of the extension is pushed online, |
| 95 it will be automatically downloaded in the background to any users who |
| 96 have the extension installed. Extensions may also make requests for remote |
| 97 content at any time, in order to interact with a web service or pull new |
| 98 content from the web. |
| 99 </p> |
| 100 <h3 id="faq-dev-14">How do I determine which version of Chrome is deployed to wh
ich channel?</h3> |
| 101 <p> |
| 102 To determine which version of Chrome is currently available on each |
| 103 of the different platforms, visit |
| 104 <a href="http://omahaproxy.appspot.com">omahaproxy.appspot.com</a>. On that |
| 105 site you will see data in a format similar to: |
| 106 </p> |
| 107 <pre>cf,dev,#.#.###.#,#.#.###.#,mm/dd/yy,mm/dd/yy,#####,#####,##### |

| 121 cros,beta,#.#.###.#,#.#.###.#,mm/dd/yy,mm/dd/yy,#####,#####,#####</pre> |
| 122 <p> |
| 123 Each line represents information about a different platform and channel |
| 124 combination. The |
| 125 listed platforms are <code>cf</code> (Google Chrome Frame), |
| 126 <code>linux</code>, <code>mac</code>, <code>win</code>, and |
| 127 <code>cros</code> (Google Chrome OS). The listed |
| 128 channels are <code>canary</code>, <code>dev</code>, <code>beta</code>, |
| 129 and <code>stable</code>. |
| 130 The two four-part numbers after the channel represent the current and previous |
| 131 versions of Chrome deployed to that platform-channel |
| 132 combination. The rest of the information is metadata about when the releases |
| 133 were first pushed, as well as revision numbers associated with each build. |
| 134 </p> |
| 135 <h2>Capabilities</h2> |
| 136 <h3 id="faq-dev-02">Can extensions make cross-domain Ajax requests?</h3> |
| 137 <p> |
| 138 Yes. Extensions can make cross-domain requests. See |
| 139 <a href="http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/xhr.html">this page</a> |
| 140 for more information. |
| 141 </p> |
| 142 <h3 id="faq-dev-03">Can extensions use 3rd party web services?</h3> |
| 143 <p> |
| 144 Yes. Extensions are capable of making cross-domain Ajax |
| 145 requests, so they can call remote APIs directly. APIs that provide data |
| 146 in JSON format are particularly easy to use. |
| 147 </p> |
| 148 <h3 id="faq-dev-07">Can extensions encode/decode JSON data?</h3> |
| 149 <p> |
| 150 Yes, because V8 (Chrome's JavaScript engine) supports |
| 151 JSON.stringify and JSON.parse natively, you may use these functions in your |
| 152 extensions |
| 153 <a href="http://json.org/js.html">as described here</a> without including |
| 154 any additional JSON libraries in your code. |
| 155 </p> |
| 156 <h3 id="faq-dev-08">Can extensions store data locally?</h3> |
| 157 <p> |
| 158 Yes, extensions can use <a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/webstorage/">localSto
rage</a> |
| 159 to store string data permanently. Using Chrome's built-in JSON |
| 160 functions, you can store complex data structures in localStorage. For |
| 161 extensions that need to execute SQL queries on their stored data, |
| 162 Chrome implements |
| 163 <a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/webdatabase/">client side SQL databases</a>, |
| 164 which may be used as well. |
| 165 </p> |
| 166 <h3 id="faq-dev-04">Can extensions use OAuth?</h3> |
| 167 <p> |
| 168 Yes, there are extensions that use OAuth to access remote data |
| 169 APIs. Most developers find it convenient to use a |
| 170 <a href="http://unitedheroes.net/OAuthSimple/js/OAuthSimple.js">JavaScript OAu
th library</a> |
| 171 in order to simplify the process of signing OAuth requests. |
| 172 </p> |
| 173 <h3 id="faq-dev-06">Can extensions load DLLs?</h3> |
| 174 <p> |
| 175 Yes, using the <a href="npapi.html">NPAPI interface</a>. |
| 176 Because of the possibility for abuse, though, we will review your extension |
| 177 before hosting it in the Chrome Web Store. |
| 178 </p> |
| 179 <h3 id="faq-dev-05">Can extensions create UI outside of the rendered web page?</
h3> |
| 180 <p> |
| 181 Yes, your extension may add buttons to the Chrome browser's user interface. |
| 182 See <a href="browserAction.html">browser actions</a> and |
| 183 <a href="pageAction.html">page actions</a> for more information. |
| 184 </p> |
| 185 <p> |
| 186 An extension may also create popup notifications, which exist outside of the |
| 187 browser window. See the <a href="notifications.html">desktop |
| 188 notifications</a> documentation for more details. |
| 189 </p> |
| 190 <h3 id="faq-interact-chrome">Can extensions listen to clicks on Chrome tabs and |
| 191 navigation buttons?</h3> |
| 192 <p> |
| 193 No. Extensions are limited to listening to the events described in the <a |
| 194 href="api_index.html">API documentation</a>. |
| 195 </p> |
| 196 <h3 id="faq-dev-11">Can two extensions communicate with each other?</h3> |
| 197 <p> |
| 198 Yes, extensions may pass messages to other extensions. See the |
| 199 <a href="messaging.html#external">message passing documentation</a> |
| 200 for more information. |
| 201 </p> |
| 202 <h3 id="faq-dev-13">Can extensions use Google Analytics?</h3> |
| 203 <p> |
| 204 Yes, since extensions are built just like websites, they can use |
| 205 <a href="http://www.google.com/analytics/">Google Analytics</a> to track |
| 206 usage. However, we strongly advise you to modify the tracking code to pull |
| 207 an HTTPS version of the Google Analytics library. See |
| 208 <a href="tut_analytics.html">this tutorial</a> for more information on doing |
| 209 this. |
| 210 </p> |
| 211 <h3 id="faq-dev-15">Can extensions modify chrome:// URLs?</h3> |
| 212 <p> |
| 213 No. The extensions APIs have been designed to minimize backwards |
| 214 compatibility issues that can arise when new versions of the browser are |
| 215 pushed. Allowing content scripts on <code>chrome://</code> |
| 216 URLs would mean that developers would begin to rely on the DOM, CSS, and |
| 217 JavaScript of these pages to stay the same. In the best case, these pages |
| 218 could not be updated as quickly as they are being updated right now. |
| 219 In the worst case, it could mean that an update to one |
| 220 of these pages could cause an extension to break, causing key parts of the |
| 221 browser to stop working for users of that extension. |
| 222 </p> |
| 223 <p> |
| 224 The reason that <a href="override.html">replacing the content</a> |
| 225 hosted at these URLs entirely is |
| 226 allowed is because it forces an extension developer to implement all of the |
| 227 functionality they want without depending on the browser's internal implementa
tion |
| 228 to stay the same. |
| 229 </p> |
| 230 <h3 id="faq-open-popups">Can extensions open browser/page action popups without |
| 231 user interaction?</h3> |
| 232 <p> |
| 233 No, popups can only be opened if the user clicks on the corresponding page or |
| 234 browser action. An extension cannot open its popup programatically. |
| 235 </p> |
| 236 <h3 id="faq-persist-popups">Can extensions keep popups open after the user |
| 237 clicks away from them?</h3> |
| 238 <p> |
| 239 No, popups automatically close when the user focuses on some portion of the |
| 240 browser outside of the popup. There is no way to keep the popup open after |
| 241 the user has clicked away. |
| 242 </p> |
| 243 <h3 id="faq-lifecycle-events">Can extensions be notified when they are |
| 244 installed/uninstalled?</h3> |
| 245 <p> |
| 246 No, there are no events an extension can listen to in order to determine |
| 247 whether it has been installed or uninstalled. However, an extension can |
| 248 determine when it has been run for the first time. See <a |
| 249 href="#faq-firstrun">this FAQ entry</a> for information. |
| 250 </p> |
| 251 <h2>Development</h2> |
| 252 <h3 id="faq-building-ui">How do I build a UI for my extension?</h3> |
| 253 <p> |
| 254 Extensions use HTML and CSS to define their user interfaces, so you can use |
| 255 standard form controls to build your UI, or style the interface with CSS, |
| 256 as you would a web page. Additionally, extensions can add |
| 257 <a href="#faq-dev-05">some limited UI elements to Chrome itself.</a> |
| 258 </p> |
| 259 <h3 id="faq-dev-09">How much data can I store in localStorage?</h3> |
| 260 <p> |
| 261 Extensions can store up to 5MB of data in localStorage. |
| 262 </p> |
| 263 <h3 id="faq-dev-10">How do I create an options menu for my application?</h3> |
| 264 <p> |
| 265 You can let users set options for your extension by creating an |
| 266 <a href="http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/trunk/options.html">options
page</a>, |
| 267 which is a simple HTML page that will be loaded when a user clicks the |
| 268 "options" button for your extension. This page can read and write settings |
| 269 to localStorage, or even send options to a web server so that they can be |
| 270 persisted across browsers. |
| 271 </p> |
| 272 <h3 id="faq-dev-12">What debugging tools are available to extension developers?<
/h3> |
| 273 <p> |
| 274 Chrome's built-in developer tools can be used to debug extensions |
| 275 as well as web pages. See this |
| 276 <a href="http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/tut_debugging.html ">tutoria
l on debugging extensions</a> |
| 277 for more information. |
| 278 </p> |
| 279 <h3 id="faq-dev-16">Why do wildcard matches not work for top level domains |
| 280 (TLDs)?</h3> |
| 281 <p> |
| 282 You cannot use wildcard match patterns like <code>http://google.*/*</code> |
| 283 to match TLDs (like <code>http://google.es</code> and |
| 284 <code>http://google.fr</code>) due to the |
| 285 complexity of actually restricting such a match to only the desired domains. |
| 286 </p> |
| 287 <p> |
| 288 For the example of <code>http://google.*/*</code>, the Google domains would |
| 289 be matched, but so would <code>http://google.someotherdomain.com</code>. |
| 290 Additionally, many sites do not own all of the TLDs for their |
| 291 domain. For an example, assume you want to use |
| 292 <code>http://example.*/*</code> to match <code>http://example.com</code> and |
| 293 <code>http://example.es</code>, but <code>http://example.net</code> is a |
| 294 hostile site. If your extension has a bug, the hostile site could potentially |
| 295 attack your extension in order to get access to your extension's increased |
| 296 privileges. |
| 297 </p> |
| 298 <p> |
| 299 You should explicitly enumerate the TLDs that you wish to run |
| 300 your extension on. |
| 301 </p> |
| 302 <h3 id="faq-management">Why does the management API not fire events when my |
| 303 extension is installed/uninstalled?</h3> |
| 304 <p> |
| 305 The <a href="management.html">management API</a> was intended to help create |
| 306 new tab page replacement extensions. It was not intended to fire |
| 307 install/uninstall events for the current extension. |
| 308 </p> |
| 309 <h3 id="faq-firstrun">How can an extension determine whether it is running for |
| 310 the first time?</h3> |
| 311 <p> |
| 312 An extension can check to see whether it is running for the first time by |
| 313 checking for the presence of a value in localStorage, and writing the value if |
| 314 it does not exist. For example: |
| 315 </p> |
| 316 <pre>var firstRun = (localStorage['firstRun'] == 'true'); |
| 317 if (!firstRun) { |
| 318 localStorage['firstRun'] = 'true'; |
| 319 }</pre> |
| 320 <p> |
| 321 Note that this check should be run in a background page, not a content script. |
| 322 </p> |
| 323 <h2>Features and bugs</h2> |
| 324 <h3 id="faq-fea-01">I think I've found a bug! How do I make sure it gets |
| 325 fixed?</h3> |
| 326 <p> |
| 327 While developing an extension, you may find behavior that does not |
| 328 match the extensions documentation and may be the result of a bug in |
| 329 Chrome. The best thing to do is to make sure an appropriate issue |
| 330 report is filed, and the Chromium team has enough information to reproduce |
| 331 the behavior. |
| 332 </p> |
| 333 <p>The steps you should follow to ensure this are:</p> |
| 334 <ol> |
| 335 <li> |
| 336 Come up with a <em>minimal</em> test extension that demonstrates the issue |
| 337 you wish to report. This extension should have as little code as possible |
| 338 to demonstrate the bug—generally this should be 100 lines of |
| 339 code or less. Many times, developers find that they cannot reproduce their |
| 340 issues this way, which is a good indicator that the bug is in their own |
| 341 code. |
| 342 </li> |
| 343 <li> |
| 344 Search the issue tracker at |
| 345 <a href="http://www.crbug.com">http://www.crbug.com</a> to see whether |
| 346 someone has reported a similar issue. Most issues related to |
| 347 extensions are filed under <strong>Feature=Extensions</strong>, so to |
| 348 look for an extension bug related to the |
| 349 chrome.tabs.executeScript function (for example), search for |
| 350 "<code>Feature=Extensions Type=Bug chrome.tabs.executeScript</code>", |
| 351 which will give you |
| 352 <a href="http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list?can=2&q=Feature%3DExt
ensions+Type%3DBug+chrome.tabs.executeScript&colspec=ID+Stars+Pri+Area+Feature+T
ype+Status+Summary+Modified+Owner+Mstone+OS&x=mstone&y=area&cells=tiles"> |
| 353 this list of results</a>. |
| 354 </li> |
| 355 <li> |
| 356 If you find a bug that describes your issue, click the star icon to be |
| 357 notified when the bug receives an update. <em>Do not respond to the |
| 358 bug to say "me too" or ask "when will this be fixed?"</em>; such updates |
| 359 can cause hundreds of emails to be sent. Add a comment only if you have |
| 360 information (such as a better test case or a suggested fix) that is likely |
| 361 to be helpful. |
| 362 </li> |
| 363 <li> |
| 364 If you found no appropriate bug to star, file a new issue report at |
| 365 <a href="http://new.crbug.com">http://new.crbug.com</a>. Be as explicit |
| 366 as possible when filling out this form: choose a descriptive title, |
| 367 explain the steps to reproduce the bug, and describe the expected and |
| 368 actual behavior. Attach your test example to the report and add |
| 369 screenshots if appropriate. The easier your report makes it for others |
| 370 to reproduce your issue, the greater chance that your bug will be fixed |
| 371 promptly. |
| 372 </li> |
| 373 <li> |
| 374 Wait for the bug to be updated. Most new bugs are triaged within a week, |
| 375 although it can sometimes take longer for an update. <em>Do not reply |
| 376 to the bug to ask when the issue will be fixed.</em> If your bug has not |
| 377 been modified after two weeks, please post a message to the |
| 378 <a href="http://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-extensions/t
opics"> |
| 379 discussion group</a> with a link back to your bug. |
| 380 </li> |
| 381 <li> |
| 382 If you originally reported your bug on the discussion group and were |
| 383 directed to this FAQ entry, reply to your original thread with a link |
| 384 to the bug you starred or reported. This will make it easier for others |
| 385 experiencing the same issue to find the correct bug. |
| 386 </li> |
| 387 </ol> |
