Google Chrome Developer Update: 3000 Extensions, Events on 4 Continents and More

Donnerstag, 4. März 2010

This is the first issue of Google Chrome Update for Web Developers. In these regular updates, we'll inform you about new features enabled in Google Chrome and announce updates of Google Chrome related developer events. We will also be sharing samples and highlighting cool extensions and HTML5 apps written by the developer community.
What's New in Google Chrome?
The Google Chrome Beta channel for Mac and Linux has been updated to 5.0.307.7 and the extensions gallery now offers more than 3000 extensions for users to choose from.
For Google Chrome extensions, we've just released a couple of new experimental APIs, including a history API. Since these are experimental APIs, the extensions gallery won't allow you to upload extensions that use them. However, we'd like to encourage you to read the documentation, give it a try, and send us your feedback.
Last but not least, the new Google Chrome stable release has many new HTML and JavaScript APIs including WebSockets, Notifications, and Web SQL Database. We are interested to hear how you've been using these APIs. Please share with us the cool applications you are building.
Samples and Tutorials
We've been working on creating samples to help you implement certain functionality in your extensions. You may be interested in viewing the source code for extensions that:

Merge all of the open tabs into a single window.
Use OAuth to connect to web services.
Make cross-domain XMLHttpRequests from a content script.
Display page actions based on the current URL or the current page's content.

We are pleased to announce that we will host a series of Google Chrome developer events over the next month in the following cities (dates in local time):
