Chrome Extensions and Firefox WebExtensions Manifest: Application Key Support

Firefox WebExtensions require the applications key in extension's manifests.

Chrome's extensions do not appear to support the applications key and Chrome throws an error when the key is present, unlike Firefox which simply ignores unsupported keys.

Is there a way around this error that does not require the use of two different manifests for each browser?

Chrome gives this error when the applications key appears in the manifest:

Unrecognized manifest key 'applications'.

Maybe not directly answer the question, but according to a blog from Microsoft Microsoft Edge extensions now available to preview,

In keeping with our commitment to an interoperable web, we’re participating in the W3C Browser Extension Community Group’s efforts to define standardized extension APIs based on familiar web technologies.

So maybe we can look forward to the future.
