How to get the url of a website with an extension? im trying to get the url of a website with an extension and display it
but if i try to get it normally it returns:
chrome-extension://bilkbnaojbkfbinghcpobifhemelfope/index.html
which is the html file of the extension
how would i make it give me the actual https website that im on?
my index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 id="url"> url goes here </h1>
<script src="script.js" ></script>
</body>
</html>
my script.js:
const urlEl = document.getElementById("url")
window.setInterval(function doTheTing() {
urlEl.innerText = document.URL
}, 1000)
my manifest.json:
{ "manifest_version": 2,
"name": "url thing",
"version": "0.1.0",
"description": "",
"browser_action": {
"default_popup": "index.html"
},
"content_scripts": [{
"js": ["script.js"],
"matches": ["https://*/*"]
}],
"permissions": ["activeTab"]
}
thanks for the help!
