Where to start when developing an application for Google Chrome?

Question

Google Chrome

I want to make an app for my website. And I'm interested in a few things regarding development:
- How to get the code of the page on which the application will be launched, for further processing?
- How to make a modal window that will be on top of all windows in Windows, like in the Picture in Picture application

Ivan, good afternoon. Before you start developing an application, you need to understand that Chrome has: Applications (Application) and Extensions (Extension). The development of each of them is fundamentally different. This is primarily due to the fact that the first category can access the system, while the second cannot. Most likely you mean exactly Extensions, to start here is an exhaustive tutorial: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/overview
And here are examples: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/samples
Everything you are interested in is there .
If suddenly I misunderstood you, then a tutorial on Applications is available here: https://developer.chrome.com/apps/first_app
And then everything is the same as with extensions, you will also find links to examples there.
Good luck!
