chrome.webRequest not working?

Question

I\'m trying to implement the chrome.webRequest API in my extension but for some reason it\'s just not working no matter what I do. Can someone post an example of usage? or c

Answer 1

Add the required permissions for the extension in manifest.json, you might not need webRequestBlocking depending on what u want to do.

...
"permissions": [
    "","webRequest","webRequestBlocking" 
  ],"background": {
    "scripts": ["background.js"],
    "persistent": true
}
...

After adding the required permissions for your extension in the manifest.json file, make sure you click on the update button and if that does not work or the browser does not have an update button then reinstall the extension.
