Changes
Added two new functions:
getTrueTabDomain(tabId)- Fetches the actual domain from the tab's URL (source of truth from the address bar)isMainTabUrl(details)- Validates if a request is truly for the main frame by comparing the request's domain against the tab's actual domainModified two locations:
chrome.webRequest.onBeforeRequest- Replaced simple type check withawait isMainTabUrl(details)chrome.webRequest.onBeforeRedirect- Replaced simple type check withawait isMainTabUrl(details)What this fixes
When Chrome prefetches links, it sends requests with
type: "main_frame", which previously causedmainDomainto be overwritten incorrectly. The fix validates that the request's domain matches the tab's actual URL before treating it as a main frame navigation, preventing prefetch requests from corrupting the extension's state.Before:
