"Google Chrome boosts customization options with new UI and tools"
Google Chrome's desktop side panel will soon support Manifest V3 extensions that want to display an interface, thanks to a new Chrome Side Panel API. Side panels can be made to appear on a specific site as a companion or remain open when navigating between tabs. Third-party developers can now leverage this feature, giving extensions a unified space and layout. The Side Panel API is available to Manifest V3 extensions and is currently available in Chrome Beta 114.
