I'm trying to make my chrome extension 508 compliant for screenreader accessibility. My extension is a tutorial extension which displays text for each step in the tutorial. In my case this means that a screenreader such as ChromeVox needs to be able to read the text displayed for each step. Is there a way to do this and integrate it into my extension?

There are a number of extensions that demonstrate taking a screenshot of the web page currently displayed.
Is it possible for any extension to take a screenshot of the entire display, not just of what's being displayed in Chrome itself? If so, how can it exactly be done by the extension?
I have developed a chrome extension and i always use developer mode to debug. Now I want to deploy it. Is there a way to install extension per chrome profile? and I wonder how to get the extension id?
1：extension ID can be found at chrome://extensions.like this：
2：I have no idea about your words "install extension per chrome profile". any way, if you want to use your chrome extension without developer mode. just use the"pack extension" button in the chrome extension page. you will get a crx file. to install it, just drag and drop it in you chrome.
you can also publish it to chorme web store. see here. then you and any other could easily install your extension frome chrome web store.
Firstly to deploy your extension on web store you must have google developer account which costs $5.
Secondly the chrome extension id which you see while developing extension in your pc is different from what you will get when you have deployed your extension on chrome store.
Basically when you deploy your extension,chrome store ask you to upload the zip of your extension folder not the crx file.Also note that it will not give you any .pem file like you will get when you pack your extension locally.Chrome store will maintain the same extension id on each updation.
Note that you cannot update the extension with the same version.You must increment the version number on each updation,otherwise chrome will show error on updation.
I want to be able to call functions that I am writing in a Chrome extension from the JS console in Chrome, so that I can test them easily and see how their output changes as the page changes.
But it seems as the functions I write aren't available to the chrome JS console. I don't really understand JS that well, or the chrome extension model, but I need to somehow inject the extension source into the body of the page that I am using the extension for?
If you are talking about functions that you defined in a background page, then you need to go to your extensions page, check the developer mode box, and click on _generated_background_page.html. That is where you will find your background page code.
If you mean functions in a content script, then when you are in the console, go down to where it says <page context> and change it to your extension. Then you will have access to the functions in the content script.
I am trying to develop a chrome extensions. I've developed a few firefox extensions a few years ago. In firefox it was possible to automatically run your extension of the page, and alter the page's content (add HTML and style it). I'd like the extension to automatically change the html, without requiring the user to click a button up in the browser's window.
How to get chrome to run extensions automatically?
Thank you
You just have to declare a content script in your manifest.json, it will be automatically executed on all pages matching the corresponding URL pattern without any user interaction.
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.
