If you detach the Dev Tools (icon next to x in the top right corner) in a separate window, and press Ctrl+Shift+I while Dev Tools window is focused, you will invoke the Dev Tools for the Dev Tools window. As far as I am aware, it’s not possible for a docked configuration.
Your code is not working because jQuery’s keydown() method does not actually trigger a “real” keydown event. Instead, jQuery looks up the “bound” event handlers in jQuery.cache, and calls the corresponding functions. Since your content script’s jQuery object differs from the page’s jQuery object, invoking .keydown() doesn’t cause any action. In your case, I suggest … Read more
It appears like this is the result of a new update to Chrome, with the developers probably reasoning that most users would not know that they had extensions installed otherwise. Link to announcement: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!searchin/chromium-extensions/upcoming/chromium-extensions/7As9MKhav5E/dNiZDoSCCQAJ It doesn’t look like extension developers can do anything about this, but I really hope Google reverts this change.
Background pages cannot be unloaded on demand, and Chrome decides Event page lifecycle for you (there is nothing you can do in onSuspend to prevent it). If your concern is timers, you could try my solution from this answer, which basically splits a timer into shorter timers for a “sparse” busy-wait. That’s enough to keep … Read more
While I linked to this question that explains how to “pin” an ID for an unpacked extension, which would solve the practical problem OP faces, the question itself (as stated in the title) is interesting. If we look at the Chromium source, we will see that the ID is simply a SHA hash of a … Read more
To enable cross-origin Ajax from your extension to Twitter, you simply need to list Twitter as a host permission in your manifest: … “permissions”: [ “*://*.twitter.com/*” ], …
The matches key should specify where to expose these resources. You can use <all_urls> to expose them everywhere. “web_accessible_resources”: [{ “resources”: [“images/copy.svg”], “matches”: [“<all_urls>”], }],
I was looking for the same thing. Thanks to the help of the user wOxxOm I’ve figured out what to change inside the manifest file. Here is an example of how to migrate manifest.json from v2 to v3. First thing is to change the manifest_version key from 2 to 3 //Manifest v2 “manifest_version”: 2 //Manifest … Read more
The result of a script is the last expression being evaluated. So in your example you could use: chrome.tabs.executeScript( null, {code:”var x = 10; x”}, function(results){ console.log(results); } ); This will log [10] to the extension’s console. results is actually an array of values because if the page has more than one frame you can … Read more
One thing that is important to know is that Content Scripts share the same DOM as the current page, but they don’t share access to variables. The best way of dealing with this case is, from the content script, to inject a script tag into the current DOM that will read the variables in the … Read more
