Electron Chrome Extension is a library that implements Chrome extension APIs for Electron applications.

This solves the problem of re-implementing browser extension functionality for desktop applications.
Electron developers who want to integrate Chrome extensions into their desktop applications, particularly those building productivity tools, developer tools, or apps requiring browser extension compatibility.
Developers choose Electron Chrome Extension because it provides a seamless way to leverage the vast Chrome extension ecosystem without rewriting extension logic, saving development time and ensuring compatibility with popular extensions like Grammarly or React DevTools.
