1 points by hanguokai 6 years ago | 2 comments

I made 3 new chrome extensions recently. They are simple and pure widgets without any permissions. There are detailed descriptions in the extension links.

1. System Monitor for CPU / Memory A tool that display system CPU or Memory usage on the extension icon. Click the icon, you can set the display format, such as graphics or numbers...

2. Battery Status Display battery level, charging or discharging status. Link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lncamcnihkpmnbpioiooedpmmpaaohnb

3. Keep Computer Awake (for a While) Override current energy-saving settings of OS, keep your computer running or screen on, and (optional) return to default state by a timer... Link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/imbpigcghoambmanjekibelfjemnnool

Yes, there are other extensions that have similar functions. Just for fun to made them, and I think I did a little better than others :)

the browser itself has such permissions that allows it to override OS settings (and as a dev you just utilize these built-in capabilities)?

Yes, the extension just supply a UI for related API. You can't do anything on Web if no api behind the scene.
