How to set the featured image of a chrome extension in the web store like in the link below:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/color%20eyedropper
Is this done via the manifest.json?
You need to include the images needed in the zip file of your app. You can find the documentation here: https://developer.chrome.com/webstore/images
For setting a promotional image, this can be done through the developer dashboard.

I am currently working on a new website which I already uploaded to a webserver. Interestingly, Google chrome shows an icon as a "favicon" that has no relationship to the page. There is no favicon mentioned in the CSS, the (static) HTML code, and there is also no "favicon.ico" in the directory that Apache2 serves.
Is there any way to find out why Google Chrome uses the icon? There are other subdomains on the web server that use the same CSS style (and HTML template) for which Google Chrome does not use the icon.
I have a very simple question I could not find answer for myself: I want links in OneNote to open in Chrome.
Note that the default browser is IE and I cannot change it (not admin etc).
Tried: "chrome_path url" - didn't work. Everything I could think about didn't work.
Please provide explicit solution so that link from within OneNote opens in Chrome rather than in IE.
To note, there are multiple links, so batch file won't do in this case.
Thank you in advance!
I had a little go with testing some ideas that I had though I'm very new to OneNote. It's easy enough to open Chrome from a hyperlink:
Select text to link
Add link
Select the file icon and navigate to chrome.exe. In my instance - C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
I believe you cannot pass arguments to the exe as it is considered a security issue. This certainly used to be the case and I'm not sure if they have modified their thinking since. The only way I can think of is to create a batch file which includes your ideal website and link to the batch file:
"start chrome http://www.youtube.com"
I found two ways to do it, though neither is the perfect:
There is a 3rd party OneNote add-on which adds more browsers in the right-click menu. Though it is not free and maybe can't be installed on restricted computers.
It works only on OneNote docs which are saved onto Onedrive. Open the OneNote page which has the links right in the Chrome, not in the desktop app. Then any links you click will open in the same browser. You can get the address of the OneNote page by clicking on 'Copy Link to Page' in OneNote app, then paste it to a notepad. Copy the first url to Chrome's address bar.
For those who has admin right, this problem can be solved by following Make Chrome your default browser. It is set at machine level, not onenote level.
I use the extension New Tab Wallpaper for Google Chrome. I am wondering if it's possible to modify it so that it doesn't show the annoying Settings button on the bottom right corner. Or at least doesn't appear unless you move your cursor down there.

Looking at the extension in the Chrome Web Store, it doesn't look like the author linked the project to a homepage or an open source code repository such as GitHub.
That being said, if you really wanted to alter the extension, you can find the code on your computer, see this answer regarding where to find the extension on your computer for various operating systems. A Google Chrome extension is simply HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
I am making a web application using ASP.NET and I noticed that only Internet Explorer loads images properly that are on my home computer (../Desktop/WebsiteImages/xxxx.jpg), whereas the images won't load on Chrome or Firefox. If I want the images to display on Google Chrome or Firefox, I have to upload the images on a web hosting site such as imgur instead of having them all on a file on my computer. Is this a known bug?

It is not a bug.
Web Server will never serve a file which is located outside of a web application (unless you create an image handler by yourself).
If you are new to web application, easiest way is to place images inside ~/images/ folder inside your ASP.Net application.
Then you can call the image like this -
<img src="#Url.Content("~/Images/MyImage.jpg")" alt="My Image"/>
showing local file like file:// is not allowed in Chrome and Firefox for security reasons by default, but this answer shows you how to change those settings. it's not recommended to use local filepath for your image
I have developed an application using HTML 5. To make the application compatible with the mobile devices I have used cordova/phonegap.
Now the problem is that, the PDf files which is there inside the application is only getting downloaded, when clicked on the link. I need to get it opened in the browser, when clicked on the link. It works fine with the PC. But not with the mobile devices.
I stored the link to a variable and passed that variable to google. Now using some sort of services from google, the link is getting opened in the browser.
I tried installing inAppbrowser plugin also.
window.open(Furl, '_system', 'location=yes');
This was the line of code used, where Furl is the name of the variable, into which, the url address of the pdf file is passed.
This line of code works fine, when url address of a webpage is passed to the variable. But not with the pdf files.
Apart from that idea, is there any other solution for this problem?
Can someone help me out with this problem?
-Thank you
As stated already on a comment, it is possible on modern browser since they have in-built PDF viewer. This isn't the case for Android or iOS currently. What you could do is to convert the PDF to PNG image and then show that. There is a PDF2PNG plugin available for this purpose. Also, if you only need to support iOS 6 & 7, you can take a look at the PDF Viewer plugin.
