What does this match pattern declaration in manifest.json file imply ? I read from the following URL and can't find any results.

https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/declare_permissions https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/match_patterns

  • It allows accessing/intercepting/modifying data on the tabs/requests with the matching URLs e.g. fetch/XHR, webRequest, webNavigation listeners, injection of content scripts, taking screenshots, and so on. – wOxxOm Mar 03 '19 at 08:05
  • So does it has similar purpose to "content_scripts": [{"matches": []}] ? – Cảnh Toàn Nguyễn Mar 03 '19 at 13:21

    Content scripts declare a script that automatically runs in a tab/frame with that URL whereas the `permissions` key allows to handle the matching URLs in the extension's own pages like the popup script, background script, etc. – wOxxOm Mar 03 '19 at 13:26
