This is not an official mirror of the Chrome extension examples. Report any issues with the examples themselves to Google's issue trackers/forums.

There is an ongoing effort to standardize the Extensions on different browsers, as discussed on MDN and defined in the WebExtensions Spec Draft. The resources on browser support and incompatibilities may be of interest.

chrome-extensions-examples

The Chrome Extensions examples did not exist as a Git repository, and browsing both the samples page and the VCViewer did not seem particularly handy. So, I decided to scrape the content into this repository for easier browsing and (possible) editing.

UPDATE: Google have posted their own repository for Chrome extensions here: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-extensions-samples

If you would like to clone a part of this repository, use git sparse checkouts.

You can find the scraper used to generate this repository (except for a git init and push) on github.
