Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Brave and Vivaldi), and provide some simple tips on how to get a unique code base for all of them, but also how to debug in each browser.

This extension is an independent project and has no relationship to the Opera team or Opera Inc.In today’s article, we’ll create a JavaScript extension that works in all major modern browsers, using the very same code base.

Opera is a trademark of Opera Inc., registered in the U.S. Support managed storage to configure the extension by a domain administrator instead of directly configuring each extension on a network. Open Opera browser if no instance is present.Īdd a new tab to the Opera browser if an instance is detected. Send tabs in the current window to the Opera browser. Send the current page to the Opera browser.Ĭlose a tab when the link is sent to the Opera browser. At this moment, the native-client only supports Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems.
