Google Chrome Extensions - Open New Tab when clicking a toolbar icon

Question

How can I create an extension for Chrome that adds an icon to the toolbar, and when you click it, it opens a new tab with some local web page (for example: f.html)?

Answer 1

chrome.tabs.create need the permission of "tabs".

Simply using window.open in extension without need of any permission. and the code is shorter. I suggest this solution.

window.open(url,'_blank');
