I've made an extension that works with many pages by modifying them. I decided that it should have preferences so that it could work only on domains at which I want them to work. I've built that configuration panel into browser_action popup page. To save settings I use localStorage which as it turns out is separate for popup and content_script - to make settings accessible to content_script which is executed on every page I've established communication between popup page and content_script by using chrome.extension.onRequest event on popup page and chrome.extension.sendRequest on content_script.
It's all working fine but the problem is that each time I click on my extension icon and the popup shows up I get new active view in chrome://extensions. I don't know if it's a bug or it's my fault somehow. The side effect which I found also is that every time the content_script is executed it sends request to every active view and therefore is executed multiple times. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chromium-extensions" group.
