Google Chrome plugin

Question

How does one go about embedding an application inside a web page shown in the Google Chrome browser like Adobe does with its Flash Chrome plug-in ? Is there an Api available to create Google chrome plugins ?

Thanks

Answer 1

If you need something that works cross-browser (firefox, chrome, safari, and ie), you could look at firebreath: http://www.firebreath.org

The disadvantage to using a plugin is that users have to download and install it before it will work.

Answer 2

You can also take a look at this book Programming Netscape Plug-Ins

Answer 3

Chrome (and many other browsers) support the Netscape Plugin API (NPAPI)
