I made a discovery where this actually seems to work, but not exactly as I would want.
If I call eg: window.open('http://www.google.com', 'Google'); ...directly it launches the new window and everything is ok. What I would like to do though is to get some information from the current tab. Therefore I will be calling window.open from chrome.tabs.getSelected. Like this: chrome.tabs.getSelected(null, function (tab){ window.open('http://www.google.com', 'Google'); }); This does not work as the newly created window will be caught by the popup blocker. Any ideas on this?
