Hey Guys,

is there a way a google chrome extension can read command line
switches passed into chrome browser when it launching, the switches
can be built-in or specific to extension but different startup
parameters would feed/drive the extension differently.

the extension needs to run on launch / startup, is there an API for
extension to retrieve the start-up parameters or any other workaround.

thanks,
Amit.

nice job with dev tooling/debugging / extensibility hooks - it seems
to be quite stable.

There is no API for it, but maybe (really not sure) NPAPI (native code based plugin, C++) could get that information for you through the WMI API (on Windows, that is).
