Q
How do I build a UI for my extension?
A
Extensions use HTML and CSS to define their user interfaces, so you can use standard form controls to build your UI, or style the interface with CSS, as you would a web page. Additionally, extensions can add some limited UI elements to Chrome itself.
Q
Can extensions create UI outside of the rendered web page?
A
Yes, your extension may add buttons to the Chrome browser's user interface. See browser actions and page actions for more information.
Q
Can extensions use 3rd party web services?
A
Yes. Extensions are capable of making cross-domain Ajax requests, so they can call remote APIs directly. APIs that provide data in JSON format are particularly easy to use.
Q
What are Google Chrome Extensions?
A
Google Chrome Extensions are applications that run inside the Chrome browser and provide additional functionality, integration with third-party websites or services, and customized browsing experiences.
Q
How do I add a bookmark in Chrome to my home screen?
A
