Hi Aaron, That sounds reasonable, if there is a way to pack a set of related extensions. The issue is just that many people may want to install multiple ones in one fell swoop. One option is to just be able to have a phantom extension linking to a bunch of related extensions.
In the case of Gmail, the checker, mailto converter and Send with Gmail will all be bundled. thanks, anand On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 1:40 PM, Aaron Boodman <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 1:33 PM, Anand Rangarajan <[email protected]> wrote: > > Yeah, I know it can be done with pageAction, but this functionality is a > > browserAction because that is > > the best to provide the functionality on any page.
