If you are using content script you can use

document.location.href

document.location is Object and can provide set of useful chunks in the URL

• document.location.host returns domain name ex: "http://www.google.com/"
• document.location.path returns the part after the domain name
• document.location.hash returns whatever after # symbol in the url
