Custom Values in Manifest.json for Chrome Extensions?

Question

Is it allowed to have custom values saved in manifest.json for a Chrome extension? Because it is json, I want to save some information in manifest.json, especially because Chrome API is available for Opera, I need some distinguish data.

Does Chrome store complain if there is any custom data in manifest.json?

Answer 1

No, it's not allowed to use custom values in Chrome Extension manifest.json file. You can refer below given link. @John

You can only use those parameters in manifest.json. If you will use others parameters rather than allowed, it will throw an error at time of importing chrome extension.
