Chrome Extension: In Tabs doc don't exist this "chrome.tabs.getSelected" but I see aniway in examples

Question

as title I can't able find this method into the Api -> Tabs... Way and where? Thanks'

Answer 1

It was deprecated in Chrome 16. The correct way is to use chrome.tabs.query with active:true and lastFocusedWindow:true.

// Get the current active tab in the lastly focused window
chrome.tabs.query({
    active: true,
    lastFocusedWindow: true
}, function(tabs) {
    // and use that tab to fill in out title and url
    var tab = tabs[0];
    run({
        url: tab.url,
        description: tab.title
    });
});

Answer 2

It was removed. Use chrome.tabs.query instead.

It's a deprecated method, but you can still use it.

chrome.tabs.getSelected(null, function(tab) {
  var url = tab.url;
});
