How can I trigger a debugger action inside the popup of a chrome extension?












0















Currently I am making a chrome extension to record all network requests of each URL that I visit. For that I have created a popup inside that I have given action from a switch button, it records the data as well but the problem is that the console window of the popup is also needed to opened (always). I want to make it without opening that console.
(NOTE: browser console may be opened but not the popup's console).
Can anyone help me with this?

  • The browserAction popup is running only when shown. This is how extensions work by design. You need a background script where you can observe the navigation and store the data in chrome.storage.local so when the popup is shown it can read the storage and present the data.
