Does anyone know how Honey [1] implemented a sidebar like UI in their chrome extension? It seems pretty solid and I wonder how they got around the current limitations against Sidebars in chrome extensions.

I think they just inject iframe into the actual DOM. It's not an UI element that's part of the browser.

alright thanks! The consensus seems to be injecting a sidebar div into the current page.
