I have a problem accessing chrome://extensions/ page from content script. It seems that content script is not loaded for that page. Does anybody know can we run extension's content script on the chrome://extensions/ page?
In accordance with "Match patterns" (http://code.google.com/chrome/ extensions/match_patterns.html) page URL can begin with http, https, file, or ftp. So it seems that we really can not run content script on the chrome://extensions/. If so then is it possible to access chrome://extensions/ from background page? Thank you.
