How to disable content script when url is updated? - google-chrome-extension

When i search something on Google, i want to hide specific content. so first i hide the entire page, then the content, then unhide the page; this allows for a clean page load. however, i only need to hide the entire page when it's first opened, not when i search again using the search box. is this possible?
manifest.json
{
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "test",
"version": "1",
"content_scripts": [{
"matches": ["https://www.google.com/search*"],

"js": ["script.js"]
}]
}
script.js
document.documentElement.style.visibility = "hidden";
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
document.getElementById("rcnt").style.visibility = "hidden";
document.documentElement.style.visibility = "";
});

#rcnt {
visibility: hidden;
}

Is possible to remove X-Frame-Options header from JS in chrome extension?

Is it possible to remove x-frame-options with javascript in my chrome extension?
Currently I have this
manifest.json
{
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "background",
"description": "DE background",
"version": "1.0",
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": ["*://*.web.com/*"],
"js": ["contentscript.js"],
"all_frames": true
}
],
"permissions": ["*://*.web.com/*", "webRequest", "webRequestBlocking"]
}
Background.js
// This is to remove X-Frame-Options header, if present
chrome.webRequest.onHeadersReceived.addListener(
function(info) {
var headers = info.responseHeaders;
var index = headers.findIndex(x=>x.name.toLowerCase() == "x-frame-options");
if (index !=-1) {
headers.splice(index, 1);
}
return {responseHeaders: headers};
},
{
urls: ['*://*.web.com/*'], //
types: ['sub_frame']
},
['blocking', 'responseHeaders']
);
contentscript.js
var elementToInsert = document.createElement("h1");
elementToInsert.textContent = "This text comes from my content script.";
document.body.insertBefore(elementToInsert, document.body.firstChild);
This works fine if the code is in background.js, but, it is possible to add that code (background.js) in contentscript.js?
I ask this question, because I currently have my extension in the chrome store with other manifest.json and background.js, but I just want to edit contentscript.js for to remove x-frame-options, I do not want to edit Background.js or manifest.json Only contentscript.js
Thanks

chrome.browserAction.onClicked cannot be triggered

I am working on some experiments that requires to auto generate IDs for elements, I have decided to go with chrome extension.
However, the content script only got triggered when I land on the homepage of the site (e.g. https://secure.checkout.visa.com/). Once I navigate to other pages (e.g. tap on "Create Account"), the script didn't get triggered, I tried to set a break point on the content script but it only got hit on the home page, but not on create account page.
Any idea what went wrong here? Below is the code:
// manifest.json
{
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "Chrome Auto Gen ID",
"description": "Generate IDs",
"version": "1.0",
"permissions": ["activeTab"],
"background": {
"scripts": ["event_page.js"],
"persistent": false
},
"browser_action": {
"default_title": "Auto generate ID"
},
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": ["https://secure.checkout.visa.com/*"],
"js": ["jquery-3.2.1.min.js", "auto_gen_id.js"],
"all_frames": true,
"run_at": "document_idle"
}
]
}
The content script:
// auto_gen_id.js
var divs = document.getElementsByTagName("div");
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
var sections = document.getElementsByTagName("section");
var count = 0;
function genId(list) {
for (var i = 0; i < list.length; ++i) {
var element = list[i];
if (element.hasAttribute("id")) {
continue;
}
element.id = "gen-id-" + count++;
}
}
genId(divs);
genId(inputs);
The background script:
// event_page.js
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function(tab) {
console.log('Generating IDs on ' + tab.url);
chrome.tabs.executeScript(null, {file: "auto_gen_id.js"});
});
Thanks #makyen and #wOxxOm, followed the suggestions below to solve the problem:
Is there a JavaScript/jQuery DOM change listener

Google Chrome Extension Not Working As Expected

So I'm trying my hand at a google chrome extension which in theory should be extremely straight forward. I know there are tons of stack queries and I've tried a few, I've even copied and pasted direct solutions for testing and I have been unsuccessful. So here is the project. When a page loads, check the html content, and change the icon programmatically.
This is my content.js
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener( function (tabId, changeInfo, tab) {
if (changeInfo.status == 'complete' && tab.active) {
var markup = document.documentElement.innerHTML;
var m = markup.indexOf("candy");
if (m > -1) {
chrome.browserAction.setIcon({path: "check.png"});
} else {
chrome.browserAction.setIcon({path: "cross.png"});
}
}
})
This is my manifest.json
{
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "Tag Analyzer Plugin",
"description": "Check if tag exist on page",
"version": "1.0",
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "cross.png"
},
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": [
"<all_urls>"
],
"js": ["content.js"]
}
],
"permissions": ["<all_urls>"]
}
Right now I'm running this item as a content script because as a content script I can use the logic
var markup = document.documentElement.innerHTML;
var m = markup.indexOf("candy");
if (m > -1) {} else {}
However as a content script the chrome API stuff doesn't work. When I run this script as a background script the script works, except that
var markup = document.documentElement.innerHTML;
doesn't return the pages html, it returns the injected script html.
I've read this stack which was informative as to what the difference was and I've read and tested many stacks like here this, without much success. So obviously i'm missing something and doing something wrong. Thank in advanced for any help.
UPDATES:
So I've made some modifications, but it's still not working, though I think that it's closer to working.
As per the comments below I am now using a content script and background script. No errors are being thrown, however the background script isn't doesn't anything.
content.js
var markup = document.documentElement.innerHTML;
var m = markup.indexOf("candy");
if (m > -1) {
chrome.runtime.sendMessage({"found" : true});
} else {
chrome.runtime.sendMessage({"found": false});
}
background.js
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(
function(request, sender, sendResponse) {
if request.found {
alert("HERE");
chrome.browserAction.setIcon({
path: "check.png",
tabId: sender.tab.id
});
} else {
alert("HERE2");
chrome.browserAction.setIcon({
path: "cross.png",
tabId: sender.tab.id
});
}
});
manifest.json
{
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "Tag Analyzer Plugin",
"description": "find tag on page",
"version": "1.0",
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "cross.png"
},
"background": {
"scripts": ["background.js"],
"persistent": false
},
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": [
"<all_urls>"
],
"js": ["content.js"]
}
],
"permissions": ["<all_urls>"]
}
I've added some alerts on the background.js to see if it was being trigger and nothing, not does the icon change.

Chrome extension : Is it possible to keep extension open on reload?

I'm building an google extension that inserts html in page and shows a menu on browser action icon click and I don't find way to keep my extension open when I reload the page. So on every reload, we have to active it again from Browser Action icon.
Below the manifest file
{
"background": {
"scripts": ["background.js"]
},
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "img/icone.png",
"default_title": "show menu"
},
"icons" : {
"128" : "img/icone_128.png",
"48" : "img/icone_48.png",
"32" : "img/icone_32.png",
"24" : "img/icone_24.png",
"16" : "img/icone_16.png"
},
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "p|layer",
"version": "1.0.4",
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": [ "<all_urls>"],
"css":["css/grid.css", "css/font-awesome.min.css"],
"js":["js/jquery-1.11.1.min.js","js/jquery-ui.js", "js/jquery.nicefileinput.min.js"]
}
],
"web_accessible_resources": [
"fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff"
],
"permissions": [ "activeTab"]
}
script (background.js) injecting contentscript
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function (tab) { //Fired when User Clicks ICON
chrome.tabs.executeScript(tab.id,
{"file": "js/contentscript.js"},
function () { // Execute your code
console.log("Script Executed .. "); // Notification on Completion
});
chrome.tabs.insertCSS(tab.id, {file: "css/grid.css"});
chrome.tabs.insertCSS(tab.id, {file: "css/font-awesome.min.css"});
chrome.tabs.insertCSS(tab.id, {file: "css/slider.css"});
});
any help will be appreciated
So, from the comments the problem was inferred: your button click activates your content script, but a page reload clears it. Assuming you want the button click to act as a toggle:
1) Always inject the content script / CSS, but don't show the UI immediately:
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": [ "<all_urls>"],
"css": ["css/grid.css", "css/font-awesome.min.css", "css/slider.css"],
"js": [
"js/jquery-1.11.1.min.js", "js/jquery-ui.js",
"js/jquery.nicefileinput.min.js", "js/contentscript.js"
]
}
],
2) Keep track of "activated" tabs:
var activeTabs = {};
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener( function(tab){
var active;
if(activeTabs[tab.id]){
delete activeTabs[tab.id];
active = false;
} else {
activeTabs[tab.id] = true;
active = true;
}
/* (part 3) */
});
chrome.tabs.onRemoved.addListener( function(tabId){
delete activeTabs[tabId];
});
chrome.tabs.onReplaced.addListener( function(newTabId, oldTabId){
if(activeTabs[oldTabId]) activeTabs[newTabId] = true;
delete activeTabs[oldTabId];
});
3) Use messaging to show/hide UI:
Content script:
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener( function(message. sender, sendResponse){
if(message.showUI) showUI();
if(message.hideUI) hideUI();
});
Background script:
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener( function (tab) {
var active;
/* (part 2) */
if(active) {
chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tab.id, {showUI: true});
} else {
chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tab.id, {hideUI: true});
}
});
Additional robustness can be added for the cases of extension reload, but that's the gist of it.

How to allow an extension for two domains only?

I've written a google chrome extension. It's okay and works now but I want the extension to be usebale only on two domains because it's written for these two websites only and is useless for others. There is a context menu only. For now it hasn't even popup, or action button in the top right corner (hidden by default). How can achieve this?
My current manifest.json:
{
"manifest_version": 2,
"background": {
"scripts": ["scripts/jquery.min.js", "scripts/background.js"]
},
"name": "Export Entries",
"description": "some descriptions here",
"version": "1.0",
"icons": {
"16": "images/logo.png",
"48": "images/logo.png",
"128": "images/logo.png"
},
"permissions": ["downloads", "tabs", "contextMenus", "http://my-own-domain-accessed-via-ajax-for-creating-some-files-there.com/*"],
"content_scripts": [{
"matches": ["*://allowed-domain1.com/*", "*://allowed-domain2.com/*"],
"css": ["styles/style.css"],
"js": ["scripts/jquery.min.js", "scripts/popup.js", "scripts/background.js"],
"run_at": "document_end"
}],
"web_accessible_resources": [
"images/logo.png"
]
}
As I understand the extension cannot be disabled absolutely, its process will run in background again. But it's not a problem. I just want to not display the context menu item on other websites.
background.js creates the context menu item and handles its click event:
function exportEntries(info, tab) {
if (info['linkUrl'].indexOf('domain1.com/user/') > -1) {
var user = info['linkUrl'].substr('27');
} else {
var user = null; // export all entries from this topic
}
$.ajax({
url: 'http://my-own-domain-which-creates-the-file.eu/exportEntries/create.php',
method: 'POST',
data: {
topic: tab.url,
user: user
}
}).done(function(url) {
forceDownload(url);
});
}
function forceDownload(url) {
var filename = url.replace(/^.*\/|\.[^.]*$/g, '');
chrome.downloads.download({
url: url,
saveAs: true
}, // options array
function(id) {
// callback function
}
);
};
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
chrome.contextMenus.create({
'title': 'Export Entries',
'contexts': ['link'],
'onclick': function(info, tab) {
exportEntries(info, tab);
}
});
});
create.php is on my own domain. It just gets the current page's URL and the user's nickname. Then export all entries from the given topic (i.e. page URL) for the given user, creates a file (.txt, .pdf etc.) and sends back url for downloading the file.
popup.html, popup.js, css file and other stuff is not used for now.
Remove all of your content scripts, they're useless, because the chrome.contextMenus API can only be used on the background page.
To limit the context menu entry to certain domains, pecify the documentUrlPatterns key when you create the context menu using the chrome.contextMenus.create:
chrome.contextMenus.create({
'title': 'Export Entries',
'contexts': ['link'],
'onclick': function(info, tab) {
exportEntries(info, tab);
},
'documentUrlPatterns': [
'*://allowed-domain1.com/*',
'*://allowed-domain2.com/*'
]
});
According to the content scripts documentation:
"If you want to inject the code only sometimes, use the permissions field instead, as described in Programmatic injection."
So instead of
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": [ "http://allowed-domain.com" ]
}
],
use
permissions: [
"tabs", "http://allowed-domain.com"
],
