myFirstChromeExtension
Here, I am trying to add a chrome extension... lets see how far I get it.. ;)
Steps to run the code :
-
open chrome://extensions
-
on the developer mode
-
save files from extensions folder on your local drive
-
select
load unpacked
from chrome://extensions and then select the downloaded extensions folder -
and visit any site and the check console
-
read the script in the extensions folder to understand the working of the added scripts
-
manifest.json
contains the configuration information
Note :
- If your chrome extensions work fine and you would change some of the code locally then you will have to go to the chrome://extensions page and reload your extension.
- Whenever you add external js to your extension at that time you will have to add its name in the manifest.json
- Do not use inconginto as extensios are disabled in inconginto mode
- Your extension will appear near the address bar
- You can find very cool extensions over https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions
