Metamask Electron Extension

[EddieOne]

What problem are you trying to solve? A lot of people are making dapps or in my case a game browser. Electron is the most advanced here. We could use an easy solution to get metamask in these applications.

Describe the solution you'd like It's pretty easy to get the Metamask extension in chromium via https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-devtools-installer

then we can open it like so

metamaskPopup = new BrowserWindow({
  title: 'MetaMask',
  width: 360,
  height: 520,
  type: 'popup',
  resizable: false
});
var appPath = app.getPath('userData');
var metaMenu = path.join('file://', appPath, '/extensions/', METAMASK_ID, '/popup.html');

From the looks of it, Electron doesn't support Chrome extensions^[1] so there isn't much we can do here.

I read somewhere that Brave had to mock some api in their electron fork. It must be possible, just not user friendly.

Found this awesome repo which is a fork of Muon maintained by Brave. Might give it a try.
