Description

While actions on click are being discussed in https://github.com/fregante/webext-domain-permission-toggle/pull/33, there's an additional sanity check this module can run:

chrome.permissions.onAdded.addListener((newPermissions) => {
	1. get current active tabs (one per window)
	2. check if they match the new permission
	3. update their icon
});
// and onRemoved

This handles:

  • new permissions via webext-domain-permission-toggle
  • new permissions via other .request() paths
  • removed permissions via Chrome's UI
  • HOPEFULLY also permissions removed via "access site on click"

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add chrome.permissions.onAdded and onRemoved listeners to update the toggle icon for current tabs based on new permissions.
