Hello!


I'm new to Chrome Extensions development. I'd like to create an
extension that is always "open" by adding a permanent side-panel to
the browser (as opposed to opening a popup window) -- is this
supported by the API?



Thank you!
Alon

There is an experimental SideBar API.
Follow the instructions to get it working.
Note that you will not be able to upload your extension to the gallery so long as this API is experimental and that users will have to enable some flag (about:flags in Dev Chrome 9+ or use the --enable-experimental-extension-apis within earlier versions).

Hi,

I filed a bug requesting a sidebar extension API for Chrome. There are quite a few stars already and some folks from Google are deciding how to triage the issue. Please star the issue to show your support and be notified of any changes.

Do you really think spamming the mailing list is a viable solution to your issue? This particular thread is three years old even.

Prezado Amigo

Gostaria muito de experimentar, mais aqui NO BRASIL tenho um grande problema com windows, muitas pessoas centenas também tem mais não conseguem enfrentar o windows e Internet Explorer. APENAS NO BRASIL, ACHO
Meu ndor que não abro mão é o GOOGLE CHROME.


NÃO CONSEGUI NEM INSTALAR O GOOGLE CHROME OS AINDA MEXEM COM MEU TECLADO E MOUSE, CONTROLAM, FORA OS COCKES QUE ME BLOQUEIAM

NÃO CONSIGO FAZER UM DOWNLOAD  QUE OS QUE TENHO QUEM FAZ É O GOOGLE CHROME, E NADA POSSO ARQUIVAR OU USAR DO WINDOWS PORQUE ELES DESTROEM OS PROGRAMAS, OS ARQUIVOS QUE SALVO, E OS PROGRAMAS QUE COMRO MICROSOFT OU NÃO.

PRODUTOSE TODA A AJUDA QUE PUDEREM ME DAR

NÃO ENTENDO DAS COMNFIGURAÇÕES E SOU TODA TRAVADA E BOICOTADA.

MAIS CONTINUO NO GOOGLE CHROME.

GR E SOS

Cordialmente,
