Is it something as simple as chrome doesn't allow it, period?

window.print() does not work when the extension is launched but it does work when I am trying it out on my browser, once loaded onto chrome://extensions, I get an error message saying that print() is not allowed.

      ```
      {
      "manifest_version": 3,
      "version": "1.0",
      "name": "My Resource Bank",
      "permissions": ["tabs", "printing"],
      "action": {
      "default_popup": "index.html",
      "default_icon": "icon.png"

       }
      }

      ```
