How can I integrate the "Offer to save passwords" option of chrome in my own extension? - google-chrome

I've seen its possible for extensions like Microsoft Autofill to override the "Offer to save passwords" setting in Google Chrome as shown in the picture below.
I would like to integrate this in my own extension, but unfortunately I didn't manage to find any information / documentation about this.
Does anybody know how this works or has any examples?
Thank you very much

Label Chrome Packaged App as "available for android"

On some apps in the Chrome web store you see 'available for Android Get it', for example Keep:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-keep-notes-and-lis/hmjkmjkepdijhoojdojkdfohbdgmmhki
I have tried to find instructions of how to label apps like so.
I know you can add the "Runs Offline" label by adding 'offline_enabled: true,' in the manifest file, but I have not found anything similar for 'available for Android'.
Does anyone know how this is done, or how it works (if it is an automatic label or anything)?
Thanks!
It has to have same application name and it will be automatically done for you.
Check one of my app,

Customize the (about:home) page in google chrome

I want to know if its possible to customize the way your default google chrome look locally on your computer. I am talking from a developer's point of view and not user(ie not to change the home page by going into chrome setting).
I can change the UI by using the chrome f12 option locally. As chrome is installed on my machine then there should be an index.html or something alike file present to render chrome as it does. I want to access that file if possible.
Thanks
you might be able to find some various files, so i would suggest looking through the following folder. C:\Users\MYUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
or C:\Users\MYUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\ as these are the ones that contain your chrome installation, there maybe another folder but this is always the one i have used when developing extensions..
Otherwise i think you will be stuck with the extension part, i myself would have a look at this if you really need.. But that could be a week before i get the chance.
If your looking to deploy a custom google chrome, so they dont need to install extensions. Try the following google term: deploy custom chrome
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/external_extensions
But editing it directly with just finding a single html file / style i dont think is as easy as it would need to load certain objects into memory and i think they are a little more complex than a plain text file.
EDIT - Looks Like Its Extension Only Now
Had 5 minutes and did a quick google, there was a point where you could use custom style sheets for v32 and below but that was removed https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome?revision=234007&view=revision
So you either need to work with firefox or build an extension.. I could not see any files/folders that would do what you need. So yea i'd start looking at extensions.

Google drive unable to share

I cannot share on my google drive. I've tried all the usual stuff (turning it off and on again, clearing cashe, cookies etc.), and all I get is the message
Sorry, sharing is unavailable at this time. Please try again later.
Any ideas?
Clearing cookies and browsing history fixed this for me.
For the Google doc giving this error, simply closing its web browser tab then reopening it (in the same browser including profile) cleared up this error & others in my fix result P2IK6O(internal id) of my 1 of 1 case so far of this seemingly very rare error, a solution inspired by the other 3 answers on this page and suggesting this was from some rare bug in Chrome and/or Google doc/Drive sharing.
For sure it is something to do with browser settings, I would suggest upload your docs via laptop or desktop and you can later share it from mobile device. This is not the actual solution but a work around. Hope this will help.
Try with another browser to see if it works.
if YES:
clear all the cookies and history of the browser you're using now and check again.
if NO:
something might be wrong with your google account settings. (Try another account on the same computer.)
Make sure you created the folder (that you wanna share) inside "Shared" tab. This worked for me.
I logged out of Google Drive and logged back in, and this resolved the issue for me.
I have tried opening the same link using Incognito, and that worked.
Google also recommends that you clear your browser data, this can be done here: chrome://settings/clearBrowserData

How to set referer when user comes from Google Chrome app icon?

I have a chrome app which basically is just a visual bookmark which sends the visitors to my website.
Currently it doesn't show any referer because technically the user came directly to the website.
Is there a way to detect this?
I understand I can append some query parameters in the URL of the chrome app but I am wondering if there's a cleaner solution than this.
The chrome.webRequest property should allow you to set the information you need. I couldn't find exact details that would help but there is an Auth option which you may be able to use as a referrer.
Hope this helps. Sorry I could not help further.
