Question

I am using

chrome.tabs.create()

to open a new tab in my Google Chrome extension. For debugging purposes, I need to call another URL just before this call that will log the usage.

• this URL is a call only URL and maps to a PL/SQL procedure that logs the data for me, i.e I do not need to wait for the response
• Also, I need to call it in such a way that any errors in this call whatsoever are completely ignored and do not affect the functionality of my addon

How can I do this?

Use asynchronous request (Ajax), for instance:

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET", yourURL, true);
xhr.send();
