chrome.identity extension API in chromium forks

[Jochen Eisinger]

Hey,

Some chromium-based browsers allow for running Chrome extensions. A number of these extensions utilize the chrome.identity API. The implementation of this API in chromium is based on first-party APIs that will be restricted as we recently blogged about.

The core of the functionality of this API, however, can be implemented using third-party APIs only. To help with the transition, we’ve posted a prototype here.
