Attention developers: Screenshot APIs and an updated URL Filter API are ready for testing

May 16, 2012 · by Arnstein Teigene

A labs release of Opera is now out with support for the following extension APIs:

  • Screenshot
  • Resource loader (normally used in conjunction with the screenshot APIs)
  • URL filter updates (normally used for Ad Blocking extensions)

Read more and try out the new builds over at labs.opera.com

Please note that these APIs will not be part of Opera 12, but a later release.

    Ok, but I think I can say everyone's waiting for when the extensions will evolve from the 1-button model...

    Hello, what about the Bookmarks API so that Xmarks can finally create an extension for Opera? In October 2011, someone from Xmarks said that that they had been told from Opera that a Bookmarks API is hopefully in the works but the timeline is unclear?

    So what about telling: if work is really going on on the Bookmarks API?

    Why do tabs opened with an extension always appear all the way to the right of the tab bar?
