Communication between browser addon and C# application

Question

Can anyone help me about my project?I'm trying to create an application using c# that will capture the Active URL of a browser and then scan it to a database for comparison. My 1st approach is to create a javascript addon that will get/capture the url, but the problem is that I don't know how to send the captured data such as the url to my C# app..

Thanks guys..

While I'm not intimently familiar with Browser addin development, based on this Google Chrome documentation why wouldn't you be able to host a HttpWebListener from your C# app and connect to it using XHR?
