Hi, nice post! :D
Have you ever tried to make a toolbar-like extension?
I wanted to do that, but seems impossible to make it work on every page...
Here is a basic recipe, but when you
translateY()thebodydown, some pages get broken, like Facebook or Stackoverflow.I guess I'll have to override new tab page (but there are already plugins like that).
Any suggestions?
The bookmarks toolbar is a toolbar, if that's what you mean, I have no idea ( don't know if that's possible to do). But in the link StumbleUpon is mentioned. They do this:
It looks like the are using the approach I explored in part one. I had StumbleUpon installed for a while and whilst I never looked into it, it looks definitely as though they used that approach rather than this one

edit - From a quick google search other developers that make tutorials on "how to create a toolbar" are simply adding a navigation bar on the page, so, yes if that's what you want, this is not what you need, the first tutorial is for you.

Only way to do that is to use a content script (like in your first tutorial). To add my
divto thebodyand position it. That's all I want.. :DCool
Hi Aurel, great posts! Loved them <3!
For the part where we have to get the highlighted text from a webpage, I have done it without local storage by using chrome.tabs.executeScript
Would this cause any issue? I'm a new developer wrt chrome extensions. Any help would be great! :)
Thanks.
