These are a set of target add-ons that we would like to think about for Extensions 2.0. These add-ons: | |||
* are useful | |||
* do not require write access to the file system | |||
* do not require Places access | |||
* are simple enough in most cases to be developed and designed by a single developer | |||
* cover a range of browser integrations that are broadly useful to developers | |||
