[chromium-dev] Re: Chrome's Accelerators (alternative to IE8 Accelerators) is here
Hi Nick, Thanks for your feedback. My understanding is that Chrome is actively working on an official user preference system based on HTML 5 local storage. In the meantime, I was suggested trying bookmarks as a workaround. I haven't tried the new release yet, but in last week it didn't work out because it seemed the communication between the content script and extension (namely chromium.extension.connect() blabla) was not ready yet. As for cookie, unless I missed sth, I think it is not a decent solution because of its strict security/domain restriction (to keep in mind user preference should work browser-wide instead of domain-wide). Any comments are welcome. -Jack On May 13, 8:16 am, Nick Baum nickb...@chromium.org wrote: Hey Jack, This is super cool, thanks for sharing!

Hi Jack, We're indeed working on HTML5 local storage, which should meet your needs. Great to see your progress on this! -Nick 2009/5/13 jack js2...@gmail.com Hi Nick, Thanks for your feedback.

Cookies will not help user scripts, but they will help you with toolstrips and background pages. Both of the latter pages run in an extension process under a common origin, so you can access your extension's cookies from those contexts just fine. You'd need to use the content script communication if you need to inform content scripts about stored settings, though. (Note that cookie support is not in yet.) 2009/5/13 jack js2...@gmail.com Hi Nick, Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for your tips, Matt.
