Apple, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla Team for a “Common Vision” on Extensions

The leading browser manufacturers – Apple, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla – work together “to advance a common extension platform of the browser.” This newly trained WebExtension Communities Group explained what it did not plan to do so: “Plan it to specify, normalize or coordinate the signature or delivery of the extension”, while facilitating Developers write tools with a “common cylinder, apis and permissions.

While other major browsers use the chrome engine, including Safari, has sought to expand its Plug-in ecosystem because Apple has published new porting tools for developers at the WDDC last year. Now it works with the teams behind Chrome, Edge and Firefox on a specification that will perfectly increase performance and keep malicious extensions at the bay.

The Group Charter is visible now because they work on a first proposed specification project before inviting others to adhere to others.
