I am doing a lot of work involving creating a browser plugin. However, I am interested in extending the browsers developers tools. There is an article in the Mozilla website which explain that. Is it possible to implement this using App Builder ?

Thanks in advance

Hello John,

Yes; I made some investigations and finally published a new release of the product which allows to extend the browser's Developer Tools from the WebExtension apps created with DecSoft App Builder.

* The App options -> WebExtension help topic has been updated to refer the way that we can follow in order to extend the browser's Developer Tools from our WebExtension apps. A new WebExtension4 sample app has been also added: this sample app is a modification of the WebExtension sample app, which now also adds a new panel into the browser's Developer Tools. Thanks John for the idea!

* DecSoft App Builder (in addition to modern HTML apps, WebApps, Progressive WebApps and Hybrid apps) produces also WebExtension apps for the modern browsers and this release of the product incorporate some changes and enhancements to provide a way to use a characteristic of the WebExtension apps: the ability to extend the browser's Developer Tools. Thanks John for the idea!

Thanks for this David. Although when I looked at the WebExtension4 sample app I couldn't see the new tab it had added to the Developers Tools on Chrome.

Hello John,

Humm... please, be sure that you install the WebExtension properly, and then navigate to a new tab in order to see if works as expected: I try the WebExtension4 sample app with Firefox, Chrome and Edge and works as expected. Update Chrome may can help?
