| 3 <p> |
| 4 This documentation tells you how to write extensions |
| 5 and packaged apps for the |
| 6 <a href="http://www.google.com/chrome">Google Chrome browser</a>. |
| 7 Because extensions came first, |
| 8 the APIs and these docs say <em>extension</em> everywhere. |
| 9 </p> |
| 10 |
| 11 <p class="caution"> |
| 12 <b>Note:</b> |
| 13 Unless you see a note |
| 14 describing an exception for packaged apps, |
| 15 everything in this documentation applies to both extensions and packaged apps. |

| 62 In general, you should view these pages at |

| 66 However, if you need to see the very latest doc |
| 67 or you're using a different version of Google Chrome |
| 68 than most of the world is |
| 69 (perhaps the <a href="http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel">Dev
channel</a>), |
| 70 you might want to use a different URL |
| 71 (for example, |
| 72 <a href="http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/dev/overview.html">.../extensi
ons/<b>dev/</b>overview.html</a>). |
| 73 The following table lists the doc locations and explains how they differ. |
