tabs.onRemoved and close the browser

[Pavel Aronovich]

Hi,

I use tabs.onRemoved to do the work I need. When the user closes the tab, I manage to create a duplicate of the tab by url (in order to execute scripts there and then it closes). 

But when you close the browser, it doesn't work. 

tabs.onRemoved works, but nothing can be done there anymore. Is there any solution to this problem (onbeforeunload, etc., please do not offer)? 

Does the chromium team plan to provide the developer with a simple mechanism for such cases?

Thanks.

You can’t prevent the user from closing the browser, just as you can’t prevent them from closing a tab.

I doubt there will ever be such a capability exposed to the extensions, platform since it could open the door to extremely annoying behavior on the part of malicious (or just bad-mannered) extensions.

Hi,

I don't need to forbid the user to do anything. 

I need tabs.onRemoved to work the same way when closing the browser as when closing the tab. Or you need another API method to do the work when you close the browser.

Thanks.

What is "the work you need"? Using something like navigator.beacon to guarantee sending a message to a backend service . Otherwise, the only thing I can think of that would be of any use is the `background` permission.

The thing is, I really want to use the extension API, and not use content script. We had an option using onbeforeunload. This is a bad approach.

I tried the "background" permission. The browser still closes and the tabs.onRemoved method does nothing.

It seems "background" permission is working!

It works fine in Chrome, but Edge gives an error when running chrome.windows.create():  "window creation is restricted in standalone sidebar mode".

I tried different settings of the sidebar - nothing worked. Has anyone ever encountered such a thing?

We just ran into this in Edge, it seems like a bug. Is there a place to file Edge bugs?
