Chrome OS lacks native smart card reader support for Belgian eID cards; this extension enables web applications at e-contract.be to communicate with a native middleware app that reads the physical eID card on Chrome OS devices

User visits an e-contract.be web page on Chrome OS → web page sends eid-chrome-os-extension-start message → content script connects to native eID middleware app → web page sends eID requests via postMessage → content script relays to native app → native app reads physical eID card (with PIN) → responses relayed back through content script to web page

Target users: Belgian citizens using Chrome OS who need to use their eID card for digital services / Users of e-contract.be digital signing and identity verification services on Chrome OS

Very small extension (68 lines of JS); complete and deterministic analysis possible
Cannot inspect the native Chrome OS app (app ID: ahcjlglemcmnjpnkeahidjenglphjnam) which handles actual eID card communication
Cannot determine if e-contract.be has its own paid service tiers from the extension source alone

Monetization

No paid features detected

No paid feature signals found. The 'pro' keyword hits are false positives: 'project' in copyright header (line 2), 'proprietary' in license notice (line 5), and base64-encoded content in verified_contents.json. No payment platforms, billing APIs, subscription logic, or upgrade UI detected anywhere in the source.

Login required: Yes
Reason: The extension is a passive content-script bridge between web pages on e-contract.be/localhost and a native Chrome OS middleware app that reads the physical Belgian eID card. The e-contract.be destination service uses eID card authentication (card + PIN) for digital signing and identity verification. The extension itself does not implement login UI, but the destination service workflow requires eID-based authentication to function.
