Hi all,

The Infobars API has been around for quite some time, firstly as chrome.experimental.infobars, and later as chrome.infobars restricted to dev channel.

We have never been happy enough with it to launch. Firstly, Chrome has been trying very hard to remove our own infobars, and replace them with page actions or bubbles. The Infobars API is one of the few remaining pieces of code which depends on them. Secondly, the implementation was never quite finished, particularly on Mac.

The Chrome bug to delete it is http://crbug.com/458325. It should hit dev channel sometime next week.

Cheers,
Ben.
