Hi,
i wondered if it is possible to access the chrome thumbnails to inject
them into a webpage via content script.
I tried injecting an image with src: "chrome://thumb/"+url but i only
get blank images.
Anyone tried that before or knows if it`s possible and how to do it?
As far as I know, it is not currently possible, but there are plans to make
use of the snapshots\snapshot creator. Not a top priority, so it will take
time.

Not really, I was hoping the extensions team could expose internal links.
Would be nice to allow extension developers to use:
chrome://thumb/http://google.com/ <chrome://thumb/http://gmail.com/> or any
other chrome:// link.

We're actually planning to scale back the thumbnailing in
Chrome so we only keep thumbnails that are used. However, we
are still interested in adding a API for extensions to generate thumbnails
on demand.
If anyone is interested in working on that, I'm happy to draft a proposal.
