I'm trying to stop all tabs from loading when chrome starts up. I then
want to load only the tab I click on.
I was able to do this by using a content script in manifest.json.
{
"name": "blah",
"version": "1.0",
"background_page": "background.html",
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": ["http:// */*"],
"js": ["stop.js"],
"run_at": "document_start"
}
] ,
"permissions": [
"tabs", "http://*/*"
]
}
stop.js just contains one line -> window.stop();
Now this isn't ideal because, being a content script it stops loading
everytime, including when I click on a tab.
So, I tried doing in in background.html without a content script, but
I can't get it to work:
background.html
-----------------------------
<!doctype html>
<html>
<script>
chrome.tabs.getAllInWindow(null, function stopTabs(tabs) {
for (var i in tabs) {
var tab = tabs[i];
//alert(tab.url);
var stopLoading = {'code': 'window.stop()'}; //alerts work here, but
window.stop doesn't?!!
chrome.tabs.executeScript(tab.id, stopLoading);
}
});
</script>
</html>
Any pointers?

You only want to do this once per launch? Is this in the case of chrome restarting and restoring a bunch of tabs?
Are you actually getting any tabs in your getAllInWindow call? The background page will run pretty early, so maybe you're injecting your script too early. Have you tried running that code in a setTimeout handler? Try waiting a second or two before stopping the tab load to see if it's just a timing issue.

Yes Arne,
Once per launch, when chrome restarts and loads up the tabs from the
last session.
I'm able to get all the tabs in my getAllInWindow call. I tried it
with setTimeout after a second, but still no luck. Have a look:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<script>
function init() {
chrome.tabs.getAllInWindow(null, function stopTabs(tabs) {
for (var i in tabs) {
var tab = tabs[i];
}
});
}
setTimeout('init()',1000)
//init();
</script>
</html>
Could it be related to this bug report:

You have to wait until after the page _starts_ loading. You could
detect this with the tabs.onUpdate event ("loading" status). But that
won't stop it from loading a bit in the beginning before it gets the
message.

Yeah, this is a better answer.
