Random URL redirect from array

Question

/** * Political Animals * contentscript.js is loaded on each page(s) listed in manifest.json * This plugin replaces all the images on the website of news sites with pic

Answer 1

window.location doesn't work since content scripts are unprivileged. Further more, window.location.href returns the current location, but it is not a method so you cannot overwrite it.

you'll need to:

Send redirect url from a content script to a background page:

var url = acceptedWebsites[Math.floor(Math.random()*acceptedWebsites.length)];
chrome.extension.sendRequest({redirect: url });

In a background page update tab's url which would cause redirect:

chrome.extension.onRequest.addListener(function(request, sender) {
    chrome.tabs.update(sender.tab.id, {url: request.redirect});
});
