Manifest - name

The "name" key (required) is a short, plain text string (maximum of 75 characters) that identifies the extension. For example:

{
  "name": "My extension name"
}

You can specify a locale-specific string; see Internationalization for details.

It is displayed in the following locations:

  • Install dialog
  • Extensions page (chrome://extensions)
  • Chrome Web Store
