MV3: chrome.action.onClicked.addListener not working?

[Sonny Chee]

Hey Guys,

So in MV2, this used to work:

chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function(tab) {
  window.open( "https://www.no-password.com", "_blank" );
})

I've revised to:

chrome.action.OnClicked.addListener( .... 

No error message or warnings in the console when I click the extension icon. I found a 2019 conversation (https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-extensions/c/9WqUFsURnsc) that this was not working but nothing since....

Any suggested workaround would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sonny,

That works just fine here in my Chrome version 99.0.4844.83.

Chrome extension manifest v3 with this as background.js code:

chrome.action.onClicked.addListener((tab) => {

chrome.tabs.create({url: "https://www.youtube.com"});

});

Thanks,
