Zulip-desktop: Integrate chrome extensions

[brainwane]

Users might like to log into their Zulip realms using passwords from their password managers (which are sometimes cloud-based and sometimes desktop-based). Can we make an Electron app aware of password managers and use them when possible?

I'm not sure how to add this but brave browser is doing it here so I think it's possible to implement.

@brainwane @akashnimare there is a way to add extensions to chrome app but with some caveats:

• They do not show up in the app
• They were meant to be used internally be electron app like for example react-dev-tools for devlopment.
  Although password are saved like local chrome browsers we do not need to implement one altleast i dont think so.

ping @hackerkid i think this should not be in the GCI Tasks

[hackerkid]

hmm. @akashnimare handed me this over as task for GCI. He is away for a few days I think. @timabbott thoughts on this?

[timabbott]

Yeah, this doesn't really seem in-scope for GCI (seems like a lot of work). It's also not clear to me that this is a reasonable feature for us to build regardless.

So I'm going to close this as wontfix; @hackerkid can you remove the GCI task when you get a chance?

Thanks @cPhost for posting about this :)

[hackerkid]

Task deleted. Thanks again @cPhost for reporting this. :)
