Easy extension development

Question

Hi,

I would like to know if there are plans (or if it's planned) to have any method to easily create Internet Explorer extensions as Chrome, Firefox or Safari have.

I have knowledge regarding C++, C#, etc... but for an easy task, I think it's much easier if IE could provide a simple system to have some content scripts and add functionalities to the browser. Just some JS code (on the extensions developer side) would be enough! Is there anything ready on the field?

Thanks for the info :)

Kango allows creating extensions for IE using JavaScript and supports content scripts.

There's an open source project called Fire Breath which allows you to write a Plugin for IE and NPAPI from a single codebase.
