1. Yes, in a way, through extensions and content scripts. 2. What is the "chrome manager process"? The browser process? If so, no. What do you need from it? There are some APIs available for the extensions to let you accomplish some sorts of stuff.
3. I believe so, in a way, through extensions + plugins. Create an NPAPI plugin that executes external programs, put it inside your extension and use it. Kind of a weird way of doing it, but seems possible. Extensions system (not ready yet, but has some working parts) documentation - dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/extensions In order to make Chrome work with extensions, you have to have the Dev channel release (Chrome 3), for more info - http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel And read to HOWTO on the extensions system documentation to know how to make Chrome work with extensions (add command line flag\switch). ☆PhistucK On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 06:02, jfc <[email protected]> wrote: > > Does chrome support the following: > > 1. ability for one browser tab to 'talk' with another tab via > javascript? > > 2.
