Community-edition: Support for Chrome extensions?

[orschiro]

Dear all,

I am not sure if it is technically possible and I would like to hear your opinion.

Rambox is great. I use it to work in my Inbox by Gmail.

I used to use Inbox by Gmail in my Chrome web browser.

On Chrome I have access to the Grammarly and the LanguageTool extensions that help me write my emails better.

I really miss them on Rambox.

Is it somehow possible to integrate and support the installation of Chrome extensions?

This would be a game changer!

Yours,

Robert

It would be great to have more of the native browser functionality. Not just extensions, but also as many other things as possible. E.g.: copy-and-paste via a context menu; highlight text and do a web search for it; highlight text and invoke Google Translate on it; view Downloads; etc.

The essential feature offered by Rambox is to provide a separate environment for local data in each tab. Ideally all other web browser functionality should be accessible to the user.

Grammarly is a must. MailTracker also.
Without these extensions my Gmail inbox looks naked. Read only!
Any support for extensions on the roadmap?

Sadly, Electron don't support this and seems like they don't have plans to do it.

I stopped using Rambox 5 months ago because of the essential extensions I use (I've been using Chromium has a replacement). Finally, some good news!

Is it possible at the moment to use chrome extension in Rambox ?
I thinks this library may be suitable to allow install extension easily:

@saenzramiro Hey. Please reopen this issue. Take a look at @postadelmaga link. It's possible to install extensions so it will be great to at Grammarly and/or other extensions into Rambox.

any news/update about this issue? it will be great if Rambox can support custom extensions...

[saenzramiro]

I have been playing around with this a few months ago but no luck. Does anyone have an example how to do it?

[coollorenzo]

Any updates? I'm a new rambox user and I really need the hubspot extention in order to use it :(. I saw wavebox.io supporting chrome extentions but it seems like they have to add manual support for every extention. So i guess I won't be using rambox for my email
