Browser extension support

This might be difficult to add, but it would be great if it was possible to install chrome extensions to this browser. Then I could legitimately start using this as a daily driver.

Unfortunately, no. It's explained why in #8. I could see a future (in the far future) where I and others make some plugins for this browser, but most of chrome's plugin API doesn't exist in Electron (what Obsidian uses) so it's almost impossible to have chrome plugins run in Obsidian

It looks like they had some success with implementing chrome extensions in electron by extending the api here: https://github.com/ramboxapp/electron-chrome-extensions Could that approach work with this plugin?

👀 That looks awesome. I never found that when I was researching the feasibility of adding chrome extension support. Going to reopen this because that looks possible, but it won't be added for a while
