> Does that mean when you talk about adding 3rd party extensions you're including Chrome extensions in that?

Alas, no.

Electron doesn't support Chrome extensions.

I agree that extensions would be awesome but Electron won't ever get extensions while it's based on libchromiumcontent.

NW.js (an Electron alternative) does support extensions though and if Electron drags its feet I might consider porting Polar to NW.js. That might be a herculean effort though.
