Can I use DOM Distiller from WebExtension as a call to some Chromium api?

[vitaly-zdanevich]

I found extension that uses DOM Distiller by utilizing domdistiller.js that packed into extension, but as I understand this Distiller already the part of the browser, looks like hidden part. Some api?

+1 for this, would love to use distiller on address bar rather than going to options.

The way distiller is wired into chrome does not allow for calls to it directly through javascript (which is why we use a copy of the minified version for the extension). That said, distiller is implemented in javascript; the extra implementation in chrome is to parse the output and render it (found here). It is entirely possible to write code that runs the distiller javascript, parses, and renders the output entirely in an extension.
