Is it possible to use express in a chrome extension using browserify?

I have been trying to do the aformentioned.

However, I need to trigger my bin folder that contains the www.js file when a new tab is created, which will then trigger the index.html file.

I haven't been able to do this, since chrome extensions need a default html file that will be served when a new tab is created. I tried incorporating a script tag but with no success. Is there any way to circumvent this?

In other words im trying to emulate node.js in the front-end and have heard of node-chromify but no successful implementation of it.

Thank you!
