Google Chrome extension - stop browser navigation

[Mihai Moga]

How do I stop browser navigation from a Google Chrome extension?

chrome.experimental.webRequest.onBeforeRequest.addListener(function(details)
{
alert("webRequest.onBeforeRequest -- Navigation blocked");
return {cancel: details.url.indexOf("bing.com") != -1};
}, {}, ["blocking"]);

The above code doesn't work!

I see a couple of potential problems, depending on which version of Chrome you are using:

Daily builds of Chrome

- use chrome.webRequest instead of chrome.experimental.webRequest

- require "webRequest" and "webRequestBlocking" permission for your purpose in the manifest.json file

- require a host permission in the manifest.json file (something like ["*://bing.com/*", "*://*.bing.com/*"] for your example)

Best regards,

Dominic
