Google Chrome Extensions #470

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
This is an enhancement

Arora could support Google Chrome Extensions, as they are written in html, js 
and also run 
under webkit in Google Chrome.

Ofcource Chrome Extensions are not yet ready, but this could be a vision of the 
future of Arora 
Extensions.

Actually, I don't think Chrome extensions "run under WebKit" so much as they 
run under 
the (as yet unfinished) Chrome Extensions system.  So even though Arora has 
HTML and 
Javascript, Arora also being based on WebKit isn't directly helpful to being 
able to 
support Chrome extensions.

When I said "run under WebKit" I was trying to say that they are rendered by 
webkit and not by some 
other rendering engine.

But it is if you expect your extension (html, js, svg, etc) to look and act the 
same as in Chrome...

What about Google Gears - could it be implemented/supported in Arora? It would
enable offline usage of some web applications (gmail, gcal) and speed up some 
others
(like wordpress).

Supporting chrome extensions, as I read the documentations, are not too simple 
thing
to do. It's not just "html+javascript+css"...There are several different 
contexts,
which communicates with message passing, and attached to different pages, 
browser
places (toolstrips, etc).
 But it can be implemented, with enough time, and devotion :)

userscripts.org stuff in arora?
