I have opened multiple browser windows in google chrome. I want to find all the tab details in the current window browser. ie., no tab details from another browser.

So in my chrome extension, I am getting all the tab details in multiple browser windows.

When I tried, I got the extension window details (ie., popup.html)

Also, I am using Window.open() for displaying my extension (popup.html). So how I can get details of all tabs in the current browser when I clicked the extension?

Can anyone help me.?

What I have tried:

To find all tab details : -

chrome.windows.getAll({ populate: true }, function (windows) {
    for (var i = 0; i < windows.length; ++i) {
        var w = windows[i];
        for (var j = 0; j < w.tabs.length; ++j) {
            var t = w.tabs[j];
            if (isValidTab(t)) {
                tabs.push(t);
            }
        }

    }
    sendResponse({ tabs: tabs });
});


I tried :

chrome.tabs.query({ currentWindow: true }, function (tabs) {
    tabs.forEach(function (tab) {
        console.log('Tab ID: ', tab.id);
    });
});

What was the problem? here you will examples of getting tabs https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/chrome/common/extensions/docs/examples/api/tabs

You could try chrome.windows.getCurrent()[^] method and see whether it fits your needs.

Hi. It seems as though you are looking for the tab that the extension is loaded in. Would you not be already there?

I myself would like to undertake iterating through all tams in all chrome windows to make sure that I'm at the correct one.

I seriously doubt you're going to get a response from the OP over two after the question was asked.
