Page action instead of browser action? #36

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Shouldn't this extension create a page action instead of a browser action?  It 
is completely within the 
context of the page you're viewing... if you're sitting on the new tab page or 
any of the chrome:// 
pages, the extension has no functionality.

I've hacked together a version of this extension that uses page actions rather 
than browser action, however the send selection functionality only works if 
your running the dev channel of Chrome as it uses the contextmenus API for 
sending selected text.

Technically you're right. But the visual affordance of a browser action is 
nicer.
