Chrome Extension: Remembering a checkbox value when popup is reopened

Question

Newbie here so sorry if this is pretty elementary. I\'m making an extension that simply has a checkbox/switch when loaded. It is to be unchecked the first time you open it b

Answer 1

Deleted my previous response because I see where I went wrong again, code I used is below

function restoreOptions() {
    chrome.storage.sync.get({
        //False is the default value when first opening the extension
        'initialValue' : false
    }, function (items) {
        document.getElementById('notification').checked = items.initialValue;
    });
}

Pretty much exactly what was suggested, as well as what was in the google options page (I did read it but just didn't get it at the time). I missed the bit where the 'initialValue' was set to false if storage didn't have a value which fixed my issue for when I launched the extension for the first time.

It's all prefectly clear now, finally. Thanks again for your help
