Can I use Python to develop extensions for all major browsers?

If not then what languages will I need to know to develop extensions for:

  • Chrome
  • Firefox
  • Safari
  • IE
  • Opera
+2  A: 

Most extensions are just bundled HTML, CSS, JS and image files, plus some metadata. You'll need to be good at JS, and most importantly, you'll also need to learn about each browser's API.

Here are documentation and "getting started" pages for extensions development on different browsers:

IE also supports COM's and languages targeting the CLR (eg: C#).
