Question

I am trying to create a new tab in a chrome extension like the code given below, but it crashes the browser. However, when I do not use the callback function, it works fine.

chrome.tabs.create({'url': 'https://google.com'}, function(tab){ alert(tab.id) })

Answer 1

You just need to correct your url. It should be

http://www.google.com

You can refer to

http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/tabs.html
