How is IETab able to launch Internet explorer in Google ?hrome? Can I launch other browsers like FireFox or Safari like Internet explorer inside Google Chrome?
My intention behind this is to know what language they are using to enable this functionality.
They are rehosting the WebBrowser control.

I am a bit confused... I was reading the tutorial for developing chrome extensions. But once I reach the step where to release it, I saw the developer console this message.
Does it means that my chrome extension will no longer available for chrome browser on any other OS than Chrome OS?
Chrome Apps are not Chrome extensions. The change in policy applies to Chrome Apps, not Chrome Extensions.
Your Chrome extension will be available for users of Google Chrome on all OS platforms where Chrome supports extensions (i.e. not on Android).
There's this great REST client "extension" for Chrome, but the only way I can find to launch it is to go to the Chrome webstore!
It's listed as Enabled in my Chrome extensions. Is there any local way to launch it?
Chrome's Apps page should have the launch icon for Advanced REST client now that it's been installed.
URL: chrome://apps/
From Chrome Web Store Help:
The Chrome App Launcher is no longer available on Windows, Mac or Linux. You can still open your Chrome Apps at chrome://apps.
Visit that URL. Click the icon for the app.
Press "Details" on the Extensions page and create a shortcut
I have been finding the way to get the urls of opened tabs of the browsers of Firefox and Chrome using Accessibiltiy.
I found that Firefox can get the urls using at-spi, but Chrome can get the url of focused tab a few months ago.
I have gotten a new result recently during the test. It is that I cannot access the child of Chrome using Accessibility, so I don't even know the url of focused tab.
"atspi_accessible_get_child_count" returns 0.
But as I said earlier, it worked on Chrome 31 version.
According to Assistive technology support, there are not tools to test accessibility in Linux.
Chrome does not support Accessibility anymore?
There is the answer in Chrome Accessibility.
That says accessibility of Chromium on desktop Linux is not really supported currently.
You need to start Chrome like this:
ACCESSIBILITY_ENABLED=1 chrome --force-renderer-accessibility
Both of these are necessary. For electron apps, ACCESSIBILITY_ENABLED=1 seems to be enough, at least that was the case with VSCodium and Signal Desktop.
On Windows, this is not necessary because a11y enables itself once a known screen reader is detected (afaik), but Orca under Linux is apparently not known.
Till now I have been using the default browser with my Samsung Galaxy S2. When Browsing if I found and clicked on a link that was from Wikipedia or IMDB for instance it would ask and give the choice if I wanted to open them in the "Internet" Browser or the installed IMDB/Wikipedia App. I have since tried other Browser Apps. (Firefox, Dolphin, Skyfire, Opera etc) and none of these appear to pop up with the option to open them in an app. They go straight to the website. The only app I have found that does offer the choice is Chrome, but it seems to crash a bit too often. Am just wondering if I am missing something in the the other browsers I have looked at. I like Dolphin and Firefox, but would like to see them offer the option to open sites in installed apps. Is there options to get them to do this? Thanks!
It is because those browsers (Firefox, Dolphin, Skyfire, Opera) you have tested at the end of 2012 don't support or have problems with calling external intents.
Here is the issue about implementation that feature on Firefox.

Could you suggest how best to test the site for Google Chrome mobile version...? I know that Opera Mobile and Mozilla Firefox are emulators for the desktop, but I have not seen this for Chrome. Maybe I'm just looking bad?
for example:
Mozilla Firefox - http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/ (fennec)
Opera - http://www.opera.com/developer/tools/mobile/
Pretty old question but in case someone else hit it in future;
Best solution i found is this;

And the best part is, its working!
PS: If "adv devices" command doesn't work make sure that you have the USB driver for your phone is installed on your PC.
Google Chrome Canary can be a better replacement for this purpose. I use Chrome Canary for testing purpose.
