In the previous post, Extension Migration Progress Update \u2013 Part 2<\/a>, we demonstrated how a Chrome extension can be installed from the Chrome Web Store using the Extension Shell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, we’d like to take the demo one step further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of focusing on the installation process, the following two videos show extensions that have already been installed in the Extension Shell and are actually running on real web pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These demos are intended to show that the migrated extension APIs are not only sufficient to install extensions, but can also support extensions interacting with real-world web content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demo 1: Knockoff \u2013 Amazon Shopping Filter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first demo uses Knockoff \u2013 Amazon Shopping Filter<\/a>, a Chrome extension that filters products on Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the video, the extension is installed in the Extension Shell and then used while browsing an Amazon search results page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extension:<\/strong> Knockoff \u2013 Amazon Shopping Filter<\/a>
Test page:<\/strong> Amazon \u2013 LED Strip Lights search<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video demonstrates the extension interacting with the Amazon page and modifying the displayed content based on its functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demo 2: Allow Copy & Enable Right Click \u2013 Text Unlock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The second demo uses Allow Copy & Enable Right Click \u2013 Text Unlock<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This extension allows users to copy text and use the right-click context menu on websites that would otherwise prevent these actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the video, the extension is used on a real article page where copying and right-clicking are restricted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extension:<\/strong> Allow Copy & Enable Right Click \u2013 Text Unlock<\/a>
Test page:<\/strong> Native vs Cross-Platform App Development \u2013 What Should Businesses Choose in 2026?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video shows the extension modifying the behavior of the web page and enabling the previously restricted interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Installation to Real-World Usage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These demos represent the next step in our Extension Shell work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Part 2, we showed that an extension could be installed directly from the Chrome Web Store. With these demos, we are showing what happens after installation: the extension can run on real websites and interact with their web content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, the demos cover the basic flow we want to support:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chrome Web Store \u2192 Extension installation \u2192 Extension execution \u2192 Interaction with real web content<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is still more work to do as we continue migrating extension APIs from \/\/chrome<\/code> to \/\/extensions<\/code>, but these demos provide a concrete example of how the migrated APIs can be used by real-world Chrome extensions outside of the Chrome browser UI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
