Popup Intercept – One Window

Brandon / Google Chrome, Javascript / 3 Comments

Released my first publically available Google Chrome Extension called Popup Intercept – One Window!

This extension allows you to customize which addresses will open up into a tab of the main Google Chrome window via the options menu. I know there are some other extensions out there that do something similar but none of them offered a way to customize it by URL.

Why did you make this?

This started with creating an extension that I could click a button and perform an action, however that action needed to be performed on a popup window. Unfortunately, popup windows don’t have a menu or extensions available to them.

Enterprise Google Chrome Extension Not Installing

Had a recent issue where a Google Chrome extension I built wasn’t installing via group policy. After a lot of troubleshooting I found an entry in HKLM\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallSources. Once I deleted that entire registry key (not just the value), the and restarted Chrome, the extension installed using the pushed settings that is in HKLM\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallSources.
