        • https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/samples?keywords=extension_samples__permission_nativemessaging
        • https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/concepts/native-messaging

          • Native messaging Extensions can exchange messages with native applications using an API that is similar to the other message passing APIs. Native applications that support this feature must register a native messaging host that can communicate with the extension. Chrome starts the host in a separate process and communicates with it using standard input and standard output streams.

            • https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/runtime#method-connectNative

              • runtime.connectNative() Connects to a native application in the host machine. This method requires the nativeMessaging permission.

            • https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/runtime#method-sendNativeMessage

              • runtime.sendNativeMessage() Send a single message to a native application. This method requires the nativeMessaging permission.
