Description

Take it from:

https://github.com/fregante/webext-domain-permission-toggle/blob/8aa73fe07aa7375b6c6718537ca5532cc6683af9/index.ts#L247-L256

Basically a listener that is called when the "current window" is changed so that these can be updated related to the tab/URL:

  • action settings
  • sidePanel settings
  • contextMenus settings

Contributor guide
