I'm trying to allow users to add an Adblock Whitelist via a Chrome extension. To allow this there is the API like such:
1) Add The Ebates WhiteList
However if I add that link to a Chrome extension popup window the link doesn't go anywhere. My guess is that the Chrome extension execution context isn't aware of Adblock/able to support that API. Is anyone who is more of an extension wizard than myself able to verify that I'm correct in my assumption and that there is no workaround? Thanks!

I found some malicious extensions that block your Google Chrome access to chrome extensions so you cannot remove it through Chrome. When you manually type chrome://extensions it redirects you to chrome://apps or chrome://settings.
My questions is does anybody knows how do they do it?
In the right top of chrome are extension symbols and you can just rightclick them to remove
Is it possible to have a webview application for a web page and load extensions in the application?
I have created a frameless wrapper for one of our web pages, so we can hide the chrome header. I am also using the stylebot extension to alter some elements in the page. It works fine inside chrome, but when I run the application the stylebot extension is not loaded.
Any idea how can I add the extension to the application?
Greatly appreciate your help on this
Thanks, Laszlo
A Google chrome extension have to be load in Google Chrome (or Chromium based browsers). The Google chrome extension API is not included in the webview engine.
You can open a frameless window with create method of the Google window API. You should add an handler to browser action click and create a window of with "popup" type and the url you want. It's not exactly what you are looking for but I don't know a better way to do it on Mac. Perhaps some one more familliar with that environement could help you.
An other far more complicated solution is to fork the Crhomium project and do what you want. But it demand a large developpement I think.
I want when download links clicked in chrome my own custom window showed instead showing built-in chrome download manager window. how? how disable the built-in chrome download manager? I read the entire chrome extension API document but doesn't found anything.
I'm writing extension for google chrome and i need to have access to chrome cache. It might be possible if i have access for chrome://cache/ and chrome://view-http-cache/[url] pages from extension but i can`t found way how to do this.
Is possible to do this in chrome extension context?
I'm trying to use the Chrome Experimental Devtools API.
I've tried running Chrome with: --enable-experimental-extension-apis as suggested here: http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/experimental.html and enabled the "Experimental Extension APIs" in the flags settings.
When I open the Console in Chrome (or Canary), I get the following:
chrome.devtools: undefined
chrome.experimental: undefined
I'm running Chrome 21.0.1180.77 beta-m. I've also tried Canary.
What am I missing?
As explained here: http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/devtools.html, the chrome.devtools APIs are only available in your devtools HTML page.
First, you need to create an HTML file and then add it to your extension's manifest under the "devtools_page" key. When you load your extension into Chrome and open the DevTools, you should see your new tab.
In that tab is the only place chrome.devtools will work.
chrome.experimental is different and will be available in all of your background pages and content scripts.
You need to run it only in Canary.
Plus when you run chrome add this flag to the command line:
path_to_chrome.exe --enable-experimental-extension-apis
