Why?

• Integrate deeply with a service
• Add new features to the browser
• Implement a recent spec in a lagging
browser
• Anything you can think of!

History

• 20th Century: plugins, native addons
• 2002: Mozilla 1.0 written in XUL and Javascript
• 2004: Firefox 1.0 with a focus on extensions
• 2007: FUEL (Firefox User Extension Library)
• 2009: Jetpack, Chrome Extensions

const Request = require("request").Request;
const timer = require("timer");

const panel = require("panel").Panel({

C#

C++ ActiveX

Windows API

STDMETHODIMP CExplorerBar::SetSite(IUnknown *punkSite) {
//If a site is being held, release it.
if(m_pSite) {
m_pSite->Release();
m_pSite = NULL;
}

//If punkSite is not NULL, a new site is being set.
if (punkSite) {
//Get the parent window.
IOleWindow *pOleWindow;

m_hwndParent = NULL;

if(SUCCEEDED(punkSite->QueryInterface(IID_IOleWindow,
(LPVOID*)&pOleWindow))) {
pOleWindow->GetWindow(&m_hwndParent);
pOleWindow->Release();
}

if(!m_hwndParent) return E_FAIL;

if(!RegisterAndCreateWindow()) return E_FAIL;

//Get and keep the IInputObjectSite pointer.
if(SUCCEEDED(punkSite->QueryInterface(IID_IInputObjectSite,
(LPVOID*)&m_pSite))) {
return S_OK;
}

return E_FAIL;
}

return S_OK;
}

Fortunately, there’s more...

Pinning API (IE9+)
window.external.msSiteModeClearIconOverlay()
window.external.msSiteModeSetIconOverlay()
window.external.msSiteModeActivate()
window.external.msIsSiteMode()

Do we really need
extensions?

last word: don’t abuse
extensions!
