+<div id="pageData-name" class="pageData">chrome.experimental.* APIs</div>
+
+<p>
+We'd like your <a href="http://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-extensions/topics">feedback</a>
+on the following experimental APIs:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li jsselect="experimentalAPIs();"><a jsvalues=".href: $this + '.html'" jscontent="$this" href="experimental.history.html" js>experimental.history</a></li>
+</ul>
+
+<p class="caution">
+<b>Caution:</b>
+Don't depend on these experimental APIs.
+They might disappear,
+and they <em>will</em> change.
+Also, the extension gallery doesn't allow you to
+upload extensions that use experimental APIs.
+</p>
+
+<h2 id="using">How to use experimental APIs</h2>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>
+ Make sure you're using the
+<a href="http://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel">Dev channel</a>
+ of Google Chrome.
+ Although the experimental APIs might work in other versions,
+ we need your feedback on the latest incarnation of the APIs,
+ which you can find on the Dev channel.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Using the
+ <a href="http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/dev/experimental.html">API documentation for the Dev channel</a>,
+ write the code for your extension.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Specify the "experimental"
+ <a href="manifest.html#permissions">permission</a>
+ in your extension's manifest, like this:
+<pre>
+"permissions": [
+ <b>"experimental"</b>,
+ ...
+],
+</pre>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Specify the <b>--enable-experimental-extension-apis</b> flag
+ when you launch the browser.
+ On Windows, you can do this by modifying
+ the properties of the shortcut that you use to launch Google Chrome.
+ For example:
+
+<pre>
+<em>path_to_chrome.exe</em> <b>--enable-experimental-extension-apis</b></pre>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <a href="http://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-extensions/topics">Give us feedback!</a>
+ Your comments and suggestions help us
+ improve the APIs and decide
+ which ones should move from experimental to supported.
+ </li>
+</ol>
+
+<h2 id="other">More information</h2>

+For information on the standard APIs that extensions can use, see
+<a href="api_index.html">chrome.* APIs</a> and
