WRT to add-on development, how/where to support this? Our idea is that in most cases developers will use HTML5 LocalStorage for this, which will be available to all web pages (including extensions) by default. However, HTML5 LocalStorage is not yet implemented for Chrome, so it doesn't show up for extensions either. There are people working on this, though, and we hope to have it available Real Soon Now. Note that using cookies, as Peter suggests, won't work either. We have purposely decided to not enable cookies for extensions since the concept doesn't really make sense (cookies are really designed for live web pages that interact with servers). - a --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
