chrome.tabs returns undefined in content script

Question

chrome.tabs returns undefined despite the fact I set tabs in the permissions block.

\"permissions\": [
    \"tabs\",
    \"http://*/*\",
    \"h         


        

Answer 1

As content script has its own limitations,

chrome.tabs is only available in background scripts and popup scripts.

If you wanna to use chrome.tabs then pass message from content_script to background script and play with chrome.tabs.
