📄 Description

This PR add the support of:

BrowserWindow.AddExtension
BrowserWindow.RemoveExtension
BrowserWindow.GetExtensions

I have tested the code on my side by loading the updated ElectronNET.CLI, and tested with the following sample test in Startup.cs:

        public async void ElectronBootstrap()
        {
            var browserWindow = await Electron.WindowManager.CreateWindowAsync(new BrowserWindowOptions
            {
                Width = 1152,
                Height = 940,
                Show = false
            });

            await browserWindow.WebContents.Session.ClearCacheAsync();

            browserWindow.OnReadyToShow += async () =>
            {
                browserWindow.Show();

                await Electron.Dialog.ShowMessageBoxAsync(browserWindow, $"Chrome Extensions test");

                //Test for webextensions
                string extensionName = await BrowserWindow.AddExtensionAsync(@"C:/2Bee/Sources/ElectronNET/Electron.NET/ElectronNET.WebApp/wwwroot/chromextensions/iframe_listener");
                await Electron.Dialog.ShowMessageBoxAsync(browserWindow, $"AddExtension: Loaded extension is {extensionName}");

                var extensionsList = await BrowserWindow.GetExtensionsAsync();
                var extensionListString = string.Join(", ", extensionsList.Select(p => $"Name: {p.Name}, Version: {p.Version}"));

                await Electron.Dialog.ShowMessageBoxAsync(browserWindow, $"GetExtensionsAsync: Results are: {extensionListString}");

                BrowserWindow.RemoveExtension(extensionName);

                var extensionsListAfterRemove = await BrowserWindow.GetExtensionsAsync();
                var extensionListAfterRemoveString = string.Join(", ", extensionsListAfterRemove.Select(p => $"Name: {p.Name}, Version: {p.Version}"));

                await Electron.Dialog.ShowMessageBoxAsync(browserWindow, $"GetExtensionsAsync after remove extension: Results are: {extensionListAfterRemoveString}");
            };
            browserWindow.SetTitle(Configuration["DemoTitleInSettings"]);
        }

Attached here, a little Chrome extension created from a Mozilla WebExtension i created for my plugin BlazorMobile. Actually, the running code in this extension should not work as it's specific for a special expected environment, but the goal here is just to test that the Chrome extension load in Electron.

chromextensions.zip

Of course update the AddExtensionAsync with a valid extension folder on your side.
The shown dialog should validate the expected behaviors, according to the method call orders and expected return values.
