## What it is
Chromatic is a universal modifier that injects into Chromium/V8-based applications (successor to BetterNCM), enabling runtime modification and plugin loading across many Chromium-embedded software. It is written in C++ and still in active development.

## Use cases
- inject plugins into Chromium-based desktop apps
- modify V8 runtime behavior of an application
- customize CEF-based software like music players
- load community plugins into Electron-style apps
- replace BetterNCM for NCM modification

## When to choose
- you want to extend or patch a Chromium/V8-embedded application at runtime
- you need a plugin host for CEF-based software
- you previously used BetterNCM and want its successor

## When to avoid
- you need a stable, well-documented tool for production use
- your target app is not Chromium/V8-based
- you cannot accept an unfinished project with no license

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: plugin-system, middleware, developer-tools
- domain: browser-extensions, developer-tools, web-development
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: chromium, v8, cef, code-injection, runtime-modification, betterncm-successor, desktop
