Chrome Extension won't appear by filtering in the Web Store, only by search
(2 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have popular extension in Chrome Web Store in category Web Development.
For some reason it is missing in category view page, no matter how long I scroll the list down: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/ext/11-web-development
Any ideas of what is the reason and how to fix it? I hope someone from Chrome Web Store team can contact me
Chrome filters out extensions you already have installed from the "browse" view.
I can assure I can find your specific extension in that category.
You can check yourself from another browser profile (this carries over to Incognito, so it MUST be a profile without this extension).
Note, trying to contact CWS team through here is a poor idea. One can try the bugtracker for general issues, as at least some CWS issues are tracked there, and there's a (well-hidden) developer support form for CWS.

Can websites tell what addons/extensions are installed in a web browser?
(3 answers)
Closed 22 days ago.
I have been playing online Mahjong for a while (you can treat it as Texas Poker). Recently I am developing a chrome extension to help me track the tiles (cards).
I am very curious whether the game developers are able to detect that I am using a chrome extension, given that I do all these things in secret (without publishing it on chrome webstore). Since I know that some players received account ban because of using Tampermonkey scripts.
The short answer is yes they can. But it is more complicate then it looks. If you are familiar with ad-block extention (which prevent banner and advertisment popups), you can see there are some web sites that can detect if your browser using this extention and they not allow you to see their content. But add-block is very well known extention and I guess the developers who wrote the code that detect if it is install did some reaserch how to do it.
In your case, if your extention will stay only for your private use, it is much harder to fight aganist somethine you (the developer of the web site) doesn't know and can test.
There are some known scenarios that they can test to see if the answers came from script. Like to calculate the times that you answered the question and to see if it is not too fast or to check if there are a lot of attempts of tring to solve question in very short period.
I'm not sure if this is the correct exchange for this questions as I don't think it is explicitly programming related, but I can't think of a better place to ask the question.
I keep seeing this tab for chrome extensions that allows users to ask questions, suggest things or submit problems:
I haven't been able to find anything in the developer dashboard or in documentation about this tab. I know that I can get a support tab with a link by adding a url to the support link field in the project settings, but I can't figure out how to get the functionality shown here.
Go to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard
Click in the link:
Edit your User Feedback preferences: User Feedback is disabled
And then enable it.
It's the same answer for Where does the Chrome web store "Support" tab come from?, it works for Apps and extensions.

How are Chrome Extension's weekly users counted? Is it the number of users who have it installed? Or the one's clicking on popup?
(1 answer)
Closed 8 years ago.
I am trying to understand the "weekly users" stat for my chrome extension that is available at the developer dashboard.
Another post noted that this is the number of weekly, active users (not installed). But I have not seen a definition of "active".
Our extension is a shopping aid that automatically deploys a toolbar if someone hits the landing page of certain shopping pages. Then, there is an opportunity to interact with it.
In this case, would "active" include: anyone using the chrome browser with the extension installed? or anyone who had the extension activate by visiting a site? or anyone who actually interacted with the extension with a positive click?
My guess, but it's not an authoritative answer, would be "Chrome profiles that requested updates from Web Store".
So, an active user is a Chrome instance that accessed the internet within the time period allowing for an update check, with your extension simply installed.
If you need to track activity within the extension, the preferred method would be Google Analytics event tracking. Tutorial here.

I am experienced in HTML and JavaScript but have never made a (real) Chrome Extension (other than the "Hello World' tutorial).
What I want to do is make an extension that adds functionality to viewing images. Basically I want a pieice of JavaScript to load when you go to a .jpg, .png, ect. page.
I couldn't get much out of the "Hello World" tutorial or the Docs and I've looked at code from XML Tree, but I'm having trouble understanding it.
I don't know where to go from here.
Since you're experienced in JavaScript and HTML, tell you what the best source is?
http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted.html
Documentation
The above link (Chrome Extension Documentation) is so simple to read once you get a hang of it. For example, I didn't know JavaScript when I created my first Chrome Extension (Reload all tabs). I recommend you to read the docs (will only take you an hour), and follow the steps that you need.
Make sure you understand the different UI's you can tap to
Browser Actions: You use browser actions to put icons in the main Chrome toolbar.
Context Menus: You use context menus to add items to Chromes context menu.
Desktop Notifications: Use desktop notifications to notify users that something is important.
Option Pages: If you want an options page, this is your guy!
Page Actions: If you want to override certain pages (New Tab, History, Bookmark Manager)
Make sure you realize there are many browser interactions that you can tap into:
Bookmarks: Access to your bookmarks
Cookies: Access to Cookies
History: Access to History
Management: Access to Extension Management
Tabs: Access to your Tabs
Windows: Access to your Windows (which has Tabs).
Make sure you understand the difference between Background Pages and Content Scripts, and their limitations.
Make sure you realize there are some neat functions in the Chrome.* API.
Make sure you understand permissions.

Disabling Back button on the browser
How to do this in asp.net friends?
If I'm a (prospective) customer of your company and you try to take away functionality of my browser, I will get angry at you and your company. You don't want that to happen.
If your user's logged out and uses the back button to go to a stale URL, detect this (it's simple enough!) and show him a page telling him there's nothing to see there. Better yet, take him to your app's home page or something.
You cannot disable the back button in a browser without using javascript, and even then javascript could be turned off on clients machine
