googlechrome/chrome-extensions-samples

This is the official collection of sample Chrome extensions maintained by Google. It is a reference library aimed at developers who want to learn how to build browser extensions for Chrome. The repository is organized into two main sections: API samples, which are small focused examples that demonstrate a single Chrome extension API (like notifications, bookmarks, or tabs), and functional samples, which are more complete extensions that show how multiple APIs work together to build real features. There is also an archive section containing older examples from the deprecated Chrome Apps platform and an older manifest format. You would use this when you are starting to build a Chrome extension and want to see working code for a specific API or behavior. Rather than reading through documentation alone, you can clone this repository and load any example directly into Chrome using the "Load Unpacked Extension" feature in the browser's developer tools. The samples are written in JavaScript and are licensed under the Apache License. They are authored and maintained by Google's Chrome team.
