Is there any way to get past this error?

    Unfortunately I don’t think you can use underscore.js’s _.template() from within a chrome extension…at least with the new manifest.json version 2. The same holds true for trying to use the jQuery Template plugin.

    From the Google Chrome Extension’s Content Security Policy page:

    There is no mechanism for relaxing the restriction against executing inline JavaScript. In particular, setting a script policy that includes unsafe-inline will have no effect. This is intentional.

    I am going to look at other templating engines that will hopefully not use the new Function object.
