Q
What technologies are used to write extensions for Chrome?
A
Extensions are written using the same standard web technologies that developers use to create websites. HTML is used as a content markup language, CSS is used for styling, and JavaScript for scripting. Because Chrome supports HTML5 and CSS3, developers can use the latest open web technologies such as canvas and CSS animations in their extensions. Extensions also have access to several JavaScript APIs that help perform functions like JSON encoding and interacting with the browser.
Q
Does Chrome for Android now support the embedded WebView for a hybrid native/web app?
A
A Chrome-based WebView is included in Android 4.4 (KitKat) and later. See the WebView overview for details.
