Does not trigger onBeforeRequest for popups

[eight04]

This is a webextension issue.

It seems that webRequest.onBeforeRequest won't be triggered for popups. Here is the repro:
https://github.com/eight04/webextension-test/tree/before-request
Ideally, the script should log two records including example.com/foo and example.com/bar but Vivaldi only logs example.com/foo.

Vivaldi 3.5.2115.87 (Stable channel) (64-bit)

Hi, I submitted this as a new bug and also created a test page to easily reproduce.

Go to http://jodigga.com

If you click the link the onBeforeRequest is not triggered. (it is triggered in Chromium though). The link contains target="_blank".

Once you clicked the link you reached a second webpage (target.html). There is another link without target="_blank". Click that one and see that onBeforeRequest is triggered.

not true. See my attached screenshot. This is done in a clean chromium profile with a simple extension that does just hook on "onBeforeRequest" and logs that it was triggered.

Chromium Version 88.0.4324.96 (Official Build) Arch Linux (64-bit)

I'm sorry, I assumed that the nature of this topic ( as created by @eight04 ) suggested that you somehow have to check if webRequest.onBeforeRequest is triggered.

That is done

a) by writing a small extension that hooks on onBeforeRequest and logs if it was triggered
b) by some other way that actual browser devs check this stuff ( I am not a browser dev )

I already submitted it as a bug. This is why I just wanted to note that here so it doesn't go missing.
