Some cursory testing of this extensions reveals a few obvious issues, though they may be minor in the grand scheme of things. The pageAction.{show, setIcon, setTitle} methods are not supported. Likewise, the history.addUrl method is unavailable to the extension. These are the biggest omissions in my 10-15 minutes of testing.

The absence of these methods don't appear to cripple the experience; we may be able to ship support before these are fully implemented. As noted above, pageAction will require guidance from the design team, as this requires a new UI element.

When we move to brave-core (which is just around the corner), we should have full support for extensions. Stay tuned 😄
