'Chrome extension - Query tabs belongs to my extension without using the "tabs" permission [duplicate]
If I wanted to query all the open tabs which belongs to my extension, I can do it like this:
chrome.tabs.query({
url: 'chrome-extension://' + chrome.runtime.id + '/*',
}, function (tabs) {
//do something here with the tabs...
});
But, this needs me to add in the manifest.json the tabs permission, which is a broad permission I don't want to use!
I thought about the chrome.extension.getViews() method:
let tabs = chrome.extension.getViews({
type: 'tab'
});
console.log('tabs:', tabs);
But, this returns an array of the JavaScript 'window' objects, it doesn't have the browser tab IDs.
So, I can't make use of it in scenarios where I need the tab id, for instance:
chrome.tabs.update(tabId);
Is there a way I can get the open tabs belongs to my extension without using the tabs permission?
