How to set window.alwaysOnTop to true?

[Albert Edwillian Pratomo]

Hi,

I'm building a Chrome extension for pomodoro timer. I'd like to make the timer always on top.

How can we set the window.alwaysOnTop to true?

I read in this thread, that this is "Not available intentionally to prevent phishing attacks where a non-focused window is showing a legit site with a login form while the actually focused window is stealing the keystrokes underneath."

However, with the new Document Picture-in-Picture API, a window would be able to stay on top. So why not also allow this when doing chrome.windows.create?

Many thanks before 🙏

It is often difficult to explain 'why not', especially for features that are possible but not yet supported, which is usually a feature request.

I searched a bit, and found there are already feature requests you asked: https://crbug.com/933215 and https://crbug.com/822425

FYI: I opened a discussion about support for always-on-top window in browser extensions at WECG.
