A bare-bones, tabbed web browser with support for Chrome extensions—built on Electron.

This is a WIP testbed for development of Chrome extension support in Electron. Minimal dependencies are used as a means to allow developers to take what they need for their own projects.

Usage

# Get the code
git clone git@github.com:samuelmaddock/electron-browser-shell.git
cd electron-browser-shell

# Install and launch the browser
npm install
npm start

Install extensions

Load unpacked extensions into ./extensions then launch the browser.

Roadmap

• Browser tabs
• Unpacked extension loader
• Initial chrome.tabs extensions API
• Initial extension popup support
• Full support of chrome.* extensions APIs
• Robust extension popup support
• Chrome webstore extension installer?
