In our extension code I have a listerner added to tabs.onUpdated ( chrome.tabs.onUpdated )

  browser.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(async (tabId, changeInfo, tab) => {
 
    }
  })

In one of the interactions inside extension on button click this event is fired due to changeInfo.status going to --> 'loading' --> 'complete'

What could have possibly happend that status went to loading state ? There is no change in url and this is leading to unecessary call to added listener

The tab is reloaded so the URL is the same. – wOxxOm Feb 09 '22 at 14:16
@wOxxOm Thanks for answering This reload happend from common code ( web and extension) inside extension iframe and reload is not visible What kind of reload is this in client side code ? – Shreya Karunakar Feb 11 '22 at 10:59
Maybe they add an iframe. Use devtools in the tab to investigate what happens. – wOxxOm Feb 11 '22 at 11:01
