+Muon exposes the ability to use extensions within your electron app. While a lot of this is still highly undocumented, below is a quick guideline on how to load and manage extensions within your app.
+
+The extension utilities are found under `session.defaultSession.extensions` and have the following API calls.
+
+> If you want to access your extension resources after loading and enabling it then you can do so via `chrome-extension://{extensionID}/{resource-path}`
+
+### `extensions.load(path, manifest, manifestLocation)`
+
+This will load an extension for use. The path is absolute, and manifest is defaulted to `{}` until it locates your manifest file in your extension folder to load into the manifest object. 
+
+You can replace `{}` with a custom manifest object if you wish to pass it, and your extension doesn't have a manifest file in it's folder. This allows you to dynamically generate your manifest.
+
+### `extensions.enable(extensionID)`
+
+This will enable an extension that has already been loaded via the `load()` api.
+
+### `extensions.disable(extensionID)`
+
+This will disable an extension that has already been loaded via the `load()` api.
+
+### `extensionID`
+
+The `exitensionID` is generated automatically by muon via 2 ways. 
+
+1. If a key is presented, a hash of that key is created. This will result in always having the same `extensionID`.
+2. If no key is presented, a hash of the file path to the extension will result in an `extensionID`. The extensionID will not always be the same. So it is recommended to generate and use a key. Guides can be found on that by searching `chrome extension key generation`. 
+
+> Note: If you want to find out the id created by your key, you can manually load your extension folder into chrome under `chrome://extensions` and it will show your extensionID there. You must be in developer mode for that to work.
+
+---
+
+## Using an extension
+
+Below is a lifecycle that [shadowcodex](https://github.com/shadowcodex) created.
+
+1. Create a file called `extensions.js` and import it into your `main.js` file. 
+2. Create a folder called `extensions` and manually copy your extensions into their respective folders in there.
+3. Call `extensions.init()` to initialize and load the extensions for your app.
+
+In the case of the following extension.js file, shadowcodex is using the `chrome.ipcRenderer` to call the functions via a lifecycle in the renderer thread. For example a simple vuejs app is shown:
+
+> Note: In order to use `chrome.ipcRenderer` your render file must be loaded with `chrome://brave/` and this one in particular is loaded like `mainWindow.loadURL('chrome://brave/' + path.join(__dirname, '../client/index.html'))`
+
+### Vuejs renderer lifecycle hook
+
+```html
+<html>
+  <body>
+    <div id="app">
+      {{message}}
+    </div>
+
+    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue"></script>
+    <script>
+      var app = new Vue({
+        el: '#app',
+        data: {
+          message: 'Hello Vue!'
+        },
+        mounted: function() {
+          //lifecycle hook
+          chrome.ipcRenderer.send('halo', '')
+        }
+      })
+    </script>
+  </body>
+</html>
+```
+
+### `extension.js`
+
+```javascript
+const path = require('path')
+const {ipcMain, session} = require('electron')
+
+module.exports.init = () => {
+    let hapiRegistered = false;
+
+    ipcMain.on('halo', (event, arg) => {
+        if(!hapiRegistered){
+            session.defaultSession.extensions.load(path.join(__dirname,`extensions/hapi`), {}, 'unpacked');            
+            hapiRegistered = true;
+        } else {
+            session.defaultSession.extensions.enable('mnojpmjdmbbfmejpflffifhffcmidifd')                  
+        }       
+    })
+
+    ipcMain.on('unload-halo', (event, arg) => {
+        session.defaultSession.extensions.disable('mnojpmjdmbbfmejpflffifhffcmidifd')                      
+    })
+}
+```
