Embed chromium with extension support

I'd like to experiment with building a browser based on Chromium, ideally with support for Chrome-extensions.

I've looked into the Chromium Embedded Framework, which does not include support for extensions.

Are the only options available to either:

  • reimplement the extension-API on top of CEF; or to
  • base the project on the Chromium source,

or are there other alternatives?

  • Are the only options available to either:

    Pretty much. But, as wOxxOm mentions in comments, CEF plans to implement the API - eventually.
