Restore Methods for chrome.tabs

[Stardust]

@luetage said in Restore Methods for chrome.tabs:

@tam710562 Well, good job, it works. You just saved tabscroll ^^

Note that getAllInWindow() and getSelected() are marked as deprecated and has been for a while, there should be no reason to continue using them.

@pettern True, but is there a chance we get the non‐deprecated apis back?

[Kein]

Why in the bloody nonsense insertCSS was removed?

[luetage]

tabs.executeScript and tabs.insertCSS are marked as deprecated on chrome developer page. I noticed this when trying to update an extension. The replacement is scripting.executeScript and scripting.insertCSS, but I couldn’t get it to work in Vivaldi for modifications.

@luetage i tested with it and it is working

chrome.tabs.query({
    active: true,
    windowId: vivaldiWindowId
}, (tabs) => {
    const tab = tabs[0];
    if (tab) {
        chrome.scripting.executeScript({
            target: { tabId: tab.id },
            function: () => {
                window.scrollTo({ top: 0, behavior: 'smooth' });
            }
        });
    }
});

@tam710562 Thank you, you are right. I left the target out. Thought it would work with active tab like the old api. Anyway, this probably means people don’t need to install extra code anymore.

@luetage @tam710562 I'm slightly confused. So the mod still work, the original issue was fixed or the latest js snippet is the updated one?

[luetage]

@hadden89 This page doesn’t feature a mod, but a workaround to make deprecated apis work in other mods. This isn’t needed anymore, since the new chrome.scripting api seems to work.

[Hadden89]

@luetage What I thought. So my small experimental extension (colored scrollbars) is probably broken due the fix of the issue plus the recent changes. Seems I have (to try) to learn few chrome APIs now
