Chrome extension - Get network information

I'm trying to "read" all wireless networks through my Chrome Extension. I found this source which answer my question: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/networking_config BUT in the top of the page is written:

Important: This API works only on Chrome OS.

It is a little bit confusing.. I'm using Chrome browser on a windows 8.1 platform. Is this API action will work or not? I'm confused because of this wiki quote:

Chrome OS is an operating system designed by Google that is based on the Linux kernel and uses the Google Chrome web browser as its principal user interface.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrome_OS

By Wiki, the answer is Yes, each chrome browser is based on Chrome OS system so the API will work. Please advice, Thank you in advance! Lior.

Your understanding is not exactly correct, this api will only work on Chrome OS.

The following words means Chrome OS uses chrome browser as its principal user interface, rather than "each chrome browser is based on Chrome OS".

Chrome OS is an operating system designed by Google that is based on the Linux kernel and uses the Google Chrome web browser as its principal user interface.
