I have a web application built with python flask using flask-security for user authentication.
I want the users of the application to securely POST data from a chrome extension (their chrome.tabs.getSelected url) to an authenticated page in the web application.
This will pass extension data (their current url) to the web application and store it in their user profile on the web application.
How can I accomplish the above with a minimal amount of code?
I'm no expert on the subject, but I built a Chrome Extension which used oAuth2 to connect to the StackOverflow API... so I'm going to give you some information about that approach.
As you point out, Chrome has an API for chrome.identity, and specifically I used the launchWebAuthFlow() method. (Example here)
In the callback, I save a reference to the returned token and then use that on every request to the StackOverflow API. It's pretty painless, assuming your endpoint already has the oAuth2 workflow in place.

we are creating a chrome extension that can able to retrieve a data from MYSQL database and display in extension.is it possible? second question is it possible to authenticate localhost .aspx website from java script.
If you want to make a native database connection I think it would be possible with npapi, see https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/npapi. However it sounds to make like a big security risk due to the fact the username and password will be stored in the extension code that can be early access, a better solution would be to develop some http service/api that will connect to the database and return some information, then you can just make an ajax request to your service and display any information you want.
About the second question, you can make any http request just like the browser using chrome extensions.

I'd like to create an app to filter my notifications from Facebook. For example I'd like to get all notifications about someone commenting in conversations I also took part on given Facebook group.
As #lushn pointed out below, Facebook removed the ability to access notifications in their Graph API.
Now I wonder, is there a better (and more official) way to fetch notifications from Facebook than to pose as a browser and parse HTML (for that I'd also need a proxy written in some server language, due to CORS)?
Access to notifications is not possible anymore, the required permission and the endpoint for this has been removed with v2.4 of the Graph API: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_4

Is it possible to use a different backend with the Webhook CMS?
I love everything about Webhook, but being able to prerender content is an absolute requirement for my project because of SEO considerations. This is unfortunately not possible with Firebase.
Has anyone ever managed to swap out Firebase in Webhook for something else?
Webhook only uses Firebase for the CMS. The deployed sites are pre-generated staticly. This means google will be able to crawl it. Since static sites are themselves the fasted way to deliver content, you'll also have that advantage versus a traditional system.

I'am trying to get tweets from a twitter acount but only using angularjs, whitout php or another language.
I have tried but I couldn't. and also I have to use the 1.1 twitter api
1.We don't support or recommend performing OAuth directly through
Javascript -- it's insecure and puts your application at risk. The
only acceptable way to perform it is if you kept all keys and secrets
server-side, computed the OAuth signatures and parameters server side,
then issued the request client-side from the server-generated OAuth
values.
2.The OAuth access token will need to be part of the call and
the oauth_token_secret will need to be used to compute the signature
3.No

I had idea to compute big data by client browser when they're visiting web sites with web worker.
as you know web worker run safe thread in back end of browser which doesn't affect on main web site, so web site can use client processors to compute somethings like cracking or ext.
I'm trying to implement it as free and open source service with web sites get code (something like google analytics or ...) so when user click on use my processor during my visit of this site web workers starts ,get data from server,compute and send result to server.
Now I have two questions about this:
first: What do you think about this idea? Is it can be useful?
sencod: How can I determine cpu usage in web worker?is it possible?(maybe some one has core i7 so more web worker on his browser can be run)
