I'm looking for the master stylesheet of google chrome's UI (windows: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome - ? ). Where can I find it or doesn't it exists?
regards, msec
WebKit's (and therefore Chromium's) default stylesheet is in the WebKit source tree at /Source/WebCore/css/html.css, but I don't believe it's accessible from the filesystem for a particular profile; it's baked into the application itself.
What's the problem that you're trying to solve?

Is there a way to write addon options page in new Firefox WebExtensions API?
For example Google Chrome supports manifest key "options_page"
I searched through documentation and wiki but can't find anything on this point.
This answer is out of date as WebExtension support expands.
See Implement a settings page on MDN (and please upvote this answer for providing this link first).
It does not seem like "options_page" manifest key is supported as of now.
Its main use is providing UI discoverability of the options page; a link to it in the extension list, for instance.
If you're porting an existing extension, you'll need to add some other UI in your extension to open the page (e.g. a link in the popup, if the extension has one). You can simply open it with chrome.tabs.create like you would open any page and it will work identically.
A little caveat: if the extension uses OptionsV2-provided CSS styling, you'll need to compensate for its absence.
Another caveat: the chrome.runtime.openOptionsPage() function is not available in Firefox and should be replaced by a shim using chrome.tabs.
Use the options_ui key in your manifest.json. There is nice guide on MDN on how to do this - Implement a settings page.
Both "options_page" and "options_ui" will be implemented in Firefox WebExtensions!

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.
My website files are stored in c waamp www folder and i use devtools autosave to update my css file. But its not working while working on localhost. What do i need to do to make it work with localhost?
I suppose this will help you out
since Google Dev Tools version 28 you will not need the extension "Autosave" anymore.
It has been substituted by Google Web Tools Workspace.
If you want to understand how to use Google workspace, you can ckeck-out this link:
Live edit CSS and JS with Google dev tool
The only big limitation is that with google dev tools you can't edit DOM elements directly in the "elements" panel, neither the inline style definition.
However I found a better way for doing it;
There is an extension for Google Chrome that combined with an Intellij Idea plugin makes you live editing HTML, CSS, JS and it work amazingly.
It is probably better than using Google Dev Tool. The only disadvantage is that you cannot inspect the elements you are editing in the browser itself but you can obviously do it in your IDE which is even better.
I documented the process here if you want to take a look:
Live edit CSS-HTML-JS with Intellij Idea

When I'm viewing the downloaded resources for a page in the Chrome web inspector, I also see the HTML/JS/CSS requested by certain extensions.
In the example above, indicator.html, indicator.js and indicator.css are actually part of the Readability Chrome extension, not part of my app.
This isn't too big a deal in this particular situation, but on a more complex page and with several extensions installed, it can get quite crowded in there!
I was wondering if there was a way to filter out any extension-related resources from this list (i.e. any requests using the chrome-extension:// protocol).
Does anyone know how I could achieve this?
Not quite the solution I was after (I'd have preferred a global setting), but there is now a way to filter out requests from extensions, as mentioned by a commenter on the issue I originally opened.
In the network tab filter box, enter the string -scheme:chrome-extension (as shown below):
This is case-sensitive, so make sure it's lowercase. Doing this will hide all resources which were requested by extensions.
Just enter "-f" in Network field
Was having the same question when my extension adds a lot of noise in the network tab.
Some extensions also fire a lot of data like data:text/image etc, you can append more filter with - like:
-scheme:chrome-extension -scheme:data
Another way to get the http/https requests is to just use scheme:https without - because the resources that extensions request are usually from their local bundle:
scheme:https
An Incognito Window, can be configured to include or exclude extensions from the extensions page of Chrome settings.
One alternative is to go to "Network Request blocking" tab and add "chrome-extension:" to the list, thus extension requests will be blocked and coloured red so it's easy to visually filter them out.
you can simply enable this option and requests from extension will be group.
Update: It can only group requests that create by the extension that draw iframe, such as cVim
I am developing an extension for chrome, which sets a search engine as default with out any UI interaction(Edit search Engines). Is it possible to develop this kind of extensions. Is there any way such that I can override or use some functions in chrome source code.
Thanks

Currently, it is not possible. The closest you can do right now is use the experimental omnibox API to register your own custom keyword.
Feel free to file a feature request at http://crbug.com if you would like to see an API like this in Chrome. Depending on your use case, there could be a better way doing what you wanted. Changing search engines isn't favourable without user intervention..
