According to one general aspect, a method of managing a web browser extension by an apparatus may include executing, by a processor included by the apparatus, a web browser. The method may include installing on the apparatus, via the web browser, a web browser extension. In one embodiment, the web browser extension may include at least one web page configured to alter the functionality of the web browser, and a substantially unique identifier (UID) based upon a public encryption key. The method may further include launching, via the web browser, the web browser extension based upon the substantially unique identifier.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for installing browser extensions are disclosed. An example method includes receiving a browser extension installation package in a main browser process, validating a digital signature of the installation package and launching a sandboxed sub-process of the browser application. The example method includes, in the sandboxed sub-process: respectively transcoding or recoding at least one of the plurality of constituent files, where the transcoded and/or recoded files replace their corresponding original constituent files. The example method includes, after the transcoding and/or recoding, passing the constituent files from the sandboxed sub-process to the main browser process and installing the browser extension to the browser application using the transcoded and/or recoded files.

Methods and apparatus for installing browser extensions using sandboxed processes are disclosed. An example method includes receiving a browser extension installation package in a main browser process, placing the browser extension installation package in a temporary directory and launching a sandboxed sub-process of the browser application, where the sandboxed sub-process has access to the temporary directory. The example method includes, in the sandboxed sub-process: unpacking a compressed, archived file of the installation package into the plurality of constituent files of the browser extension and transcoding or recoding at least one of the plurality of constituent files, where the transcoded and recoded files replace their corresponding original constituent files. The example method includes, after the transcoding and/or recoding, passing the constituent files back to a main browser process and installing the browser extension to the browser application using the transcoded and recoded constituent files.

According to one general aspect, a method of executing a web application installed on an apparatus may include executing, via a processor included by the apparatus, a web browser. The method may include loading, via the web browser, the web application. In some embodiments, the web application may include a manifest and at least a portion of a web site and wherein the web application was packaged as an installable entity. The method may further include managing, by the web browser, the execution of the web application. The method may include accessing, via the web browser, from a local storage medium one or more portions of the web site included by the web application. In some embodiments, the one or more portions of the web site may have been stored in the local storage medium when the web application was installed.
摘要:
An extension schema validator may be executable within an extension process of an extension of a browser application, and may be configured to validate the extension with respect to an extension application program interface (API) that is provided in conjunction with the browser application for implementation of the extension. A browser schema validator may be executable within a browser process of the browser application, and may be configured to validate the extension with respect to the extension API. Successful validation of the extension by the extension schema validator prior to attempting validation of the extension by the browser schema validator may be required.

According to one general aspect, a computer-implemented method may include sending, from a computing device to a server, a request to install a web-based application on the computing device. In various embodiments, the method may also include receiving, from the server, an installation procedure for the web-based application. In some embodiments, the installation procedure may include installing the web-based application on the computing device. The procedure may also include specifying a web extent for the web-based application. In various embodiments, the web extent may include a first web origin for the web-based application, and a second web origin for the web-based application.
