Sorry, couldn't figure out how to add this to the Platform>Extension component, the wizard just offered Blink components.

Is there a reason these are not on linux? Are there any platform implementation bits missing?

Comment 6 by dominik....@ecosia.org, Jan 25 2018 

Anything I can do to help with this getting looked at?

Moving to P3. This isn't likely to get implemented in the foreseeable future, as there isn't clear evidence of the user value that these APIs would provide on Linux, nor is there sufficient developer demand to justify the platform work at this time.

Comment 9 by dominik....@ecosia.org, Feb 7 2018 

@jawag could you explain why the user value is different on Linux as compared to Windows or Mac?
Would implementing this for Linux be a lot of extra work compared to what already exists for the other platforms?
