I have developed a google chrome extension and I have a badge on the icon that displays a number.
When I start the browser the badge is not displayed. So I think I have to load the extension when chrome browser was started.
Is that possible?
Code in a background page is executed when a new browser window is created.

I am developing a Chrome extension with Parcel and when I refresh any page, my Chrome extension's icon will do the reloading animation (it disappears and quickly animated in from the right). This is a problem because it seems to be resetting my background script which contains some variables that need to persist. I'm not sure where to look because there aren't any errors logged.
I'm interested in seeing the network tab in an extension's background page while running tests using Cypress.
When I go to chrome://extensions and click background page within the Cypress browser nothing pops up. I've also tried navigating directly to chrome-extension://(extension-id)/_generated_background_page.html but this stops the extension from working entirely.
I want to debug a chrome extension downloaded from chrome store. is it possible and how.
I have readium chrome extension and it is not working properly. I want to know why.

If the extension run front-end scripts: right click on the page, Inspect > Sources tab > Content scripts tab. Then you can select the Chrome extension that not work correctly and add a breakpoint for example.
If the extension run back-end scripts: Go to this url: chrome://extensions then scroll to your extension and click on background page button. A popup will be opened and you can go to the sources tab and debug the script.
I have created a chrome extension which opens a new tab window,plays youtube videos and collects the network statistics.
What I currently do is to launch the chrome and then click the extension icon to run the extension. Now I want to automate the process of launching chrome and the extension simultaneously from command line.
Please guide me how I can open and run the extension on chrome from command line.
I have tried --load-and-launch-app and --load-extension.
You can move the logic of your extension in your background.js page. In this way when chrome starts, it will run your code in background.js without clicking extension icon.
For starting chrome use -
start chrome
I'm developing a Chrome browser extension that that has different menu links that go to different pages in the extension. I noticed each time the extension closes I have to navigate back to the last page I was on in the extension.
Is there a way to keep the last page I'm on current even if the extension window closes?
