Can I use python to develop Google Chrome extensions? [duplicate]

Question

I have read some introduction about how to create Google Chrome extensions. Is that possible to create the extension using Python instead of JS?

Answer 1

A google chrome extension is simply a webpage with a few extra permissions and so on. So, what you're looking for is basically a method to use python as a scripting language inside a browser.

The problems with this :

• Not all browsers are capable of using python as a scripting language
• By default javascript scripts are enabled in most browsers, python may not be be.
• Not enough tutorials on how to use python here. JS is way more popular.

But returning to how to do it. Popular methods:

• Brython - They use HTML5 + text/python scripts to directly embed python inside a browser.
• PyJS - here, they actually compile Python into Javascript. Somewhat more complicated, but finally the browser sees JS, so it is usable anywhere.
