Question

Can I use Python to develop extensions for all major browsers?

If not, what languages ​​do I need to know to develop extensions for:

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Safari
• IE
• Opera

Answer 1

Most extensions are just HTML, CSS, JS and image files, as well as some metadata. You need to be good at JS, and most importantly, you also need to learn about each browser API.

Here are documents and Getting Started pages for developing extensions in different browsers:

• Chrome
• Firefox (see also XUL )
• Safari
• Opera
• Internet explorer

IE also supports COM and CLR-specific languages ​​(e.g. C #).
