Modern Chrome browsers removed ClickOnce support. This extension restores the ability to launch Xactware's desktop estimating applications directly from the Xactimate/XactContents web interface by relaying launch URLs to a native helper application.

1. User installs extension and native helper app (guided on first install). 2. User logs into xactimate.com or xactcontents.com in browser. 3. When user triggers estimate writing, the web app sends an oewLaunchUrl message to the extension. 4. Extension relays the URL via nativeMessaging to the local XactwareClickOnceHelper. 5. The native helper launches the ClickOnce Xactimate/XactContents desktop application.

Target users: Insurance adjusters and estimators using Xactimate/XactContents / Claims professionals using Verisk's estimating tools / Users who need to launch Xactimate desktop app from the web interface

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension itself has no paid features, no billing code, no subscription handling, no upgrade UI, and no payment platform integrations. It is a free utility bridge that forwards URLs to a native ClickOnce helper. The destination service (Xactimate/XactContents) is a paid commercial product, but the extension does not gate any features behind payment.

Confidence: 90
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / Medium
Login required: Yes
Reason: The extension itself has no login UI or authentication code. However, it is a bridge/connector for Xactimate and XactContents (Verisk/Xactware insurance estimating platforms), which are commercial SaaS products requiring paid user accounts to access. The extension is entirely useless without logging into the destination service.
