I want to load a Chrome extension in a CefSharp browser.
I know that extensions are different in CefSharp.
I'm using the CefSharp example in the official github to try load my extension.
I have the set_color extension as an example from CefSharp, but it's not a background extension.
My extension requires to be in background with the manifest key "background".
How can I do this ? How can I load my background extension in CefSharp ?
I haven't seen web requests or web navigation API in the API list of CefSharp JS.
Is the list updated ? Or is there another way to have these API events ?
Thanks in advance.

This is something like a chrome extension changes the elements of a web page dynamically.
I am wondering if i can change the DOM elements of a chrome app from another chrome app or extension.
If this is possible, how can I do that ?
========================================================
Example:
There is a standalone chrome app working on the desktop
There is another app / extension works like a chrome app debugging tool which can access the content of that standalone app
The answer can be no, since when you are saying the DOM elements of a chrome extension, I guess you mean the popup/options page for the extension, its url starts with chrome://extensions while content script can't access this kind of page.
The answer can also be yes, since if you have control on both of the extension, you can do Cross-extension messaging, in this way, to some degree you can achieve change the DOM of a chrome extension from another extension.
This could be layman question. I use the postman application which i got from the chrome extension. It was soo good. I really want to know in which language it is written? Is it written completely in javascript and packaged using some tools like cardova? Or any native language is used?
It is a "chrome app" written in HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript.
About Chrome apps
Google through Chrome allows this application to run in a native container that work on any operating system example: Mac OS, Linux.
In order to publish the app , developers can package and upload the app source files to chrome web store. refer the link for further details

In General about Chrome Extension. This is chrome plugin which is built with manifest.json (Configuration file) and Chrome API.
You can include your HTML, JS and other JS Library or Framework as per your Extension Scope.
How to build the Chrome Plugin ?
1. Enable Developer Mode
2. Load your extension
Finally once you are done with extension development, you can pack it as CRX file to upload it to Chrome Web Store through pack extension button
I want to update my chrome extensions automatically or via command line. These could be archived using Autoupdating, but only for hosted extension. Autoupdating is not supported for extension hosted in Chrome Web Store. Manual updating through web portal is very tiring.
It is possible to use directly linking js file to external web site, but it will not work for offline use case. We could add appcache to background page, but will that work?
An desperate approach is store js files in indexedDB and inject it.
Is there any better solution?
I'm writing an extension.
A part of this extension contains an html page.
I'd call that page, also as a Google Apps,
inserting an icon between applications of chrome.
It's possible create a manifest file to integrate the chrome app with chrome extension?
No. You'd create both an app an an extension, then encourage the user to install both if you detected that one wasn't installed.
There is an outstanding feature request to allow bundled installations of multiple apps/extensions.
I have Google Chrome and the extensions installed on it. I would like to reduce number of extension buttons on Chrome panel.
For this I want to create my plugin which will display popup window and allow to run another extension installed on my browser?
Is it possible and where I can find examples?
The messaging API has an external extension feature. You can use that communicate between extensions.
