Here is an example how <a href="#homepage">homepage</a>, <a
href="#search_provider">search provider</a> and <a href="#startup_pages">startup
-pages</a> can be modified in the <a href="manifest.html">extension
-manifest</a>.</p>
+pages</a> can be modified in the <a href="manifest">extension
+manifest</a>. Web sites used in the settings API must be
+<a href="https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35179">verified</a> (via
+Webmaster Tools) as being associated with that item in the Chrome Web Store.
+Note that if you verify ownership for a domain (for example, http://example.com)
+you can use any subdomain or page (for example, http://app.example.com or
+http://example.com/page.html) within your extension.</p>
<pre>{
"name": "My extension",
<code>search_provider</code>, and <code>startup_pages</code> are only enabled
in the Chrome Dev release.</p>
+<h2 id="customizing">Customizing values</h2>
+<p>Values in the manifest can be customized in the following ways:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ All values of the <code>search_provider</code>, <code>homepage</code> and
+ <code>startup_pages</code> properties can be localized using the
+ $(ref:i18n chrome.i18n API).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ For <a href="http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/external_extensions">external extensions</a>,
+ the <code>search_provider</code>, <code>homepage</code> and
+ <code>startup_pages</code> URL values can be parametrized using a registry key.
+ A new registry entry should be created next to the "update_url" key (see
+ instructions <a href="http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/external_extensions#registry">here</a>).
+ The value name is "install_parameter", the value data is an arbitrary string:
+ <pre>{
+ "update_url": "https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx",
+ "install_parameter": "Value"
+ }</pre>
+ All occurrences of the substring "__PARAM__" in the manifest URLs will be
+ substituted with the "install_parameter" value. If “install_parameter” is
+ absent, occurrences of "__PARAM__" are removed. Note that "__PARAM__" cannot
+ be part of the hostname. It needs to occur after the first '/' in the URL.

An extension can override one or more of the following properties in the
