**This is not an official mirror of the Chrome extension examples. Report any issues with the examples themselves to Google's issue trackers/forums.**



**There is an ongoing effort to standardize the Extensions on different browsers, as [discussed on MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions) and defined in the [WebExtensions Spec Draft](https://browserext.github.io/browserext/). The resources on [browser support](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Browser_support_for_JavaScript_APIs) and [incompatibilities](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Chrome_incompatibilities) may be of interest.**



chrome-extensions-examples

==========================



The [Chrome Extensions examples](http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/samples) did not

exist as a Git repository, and browsing both the samples page and the VCViewer did not seem particularly

handy. So, I decided to scrape the content into this repository for easier browsing and (possible)

editing.



**UPDATE:** Google have posted their own repository for Chrome extensions here: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-extensions-samples



If you would like to clone a part of this repository, use git

[sparse checkouts](http://jasonkarns.com/blog/subdirectory-checkouts-with-git-sparse-checkout/).



You can find the scraper used to generate this repository (except for a `git init` and push)

on [github](https://github.com/orbitbot/chrome-extension-scraper).
