Site must allow iframing #12

Closed MethodGrab closed 3 years ago

MethodGrab commented 4 years ago

The technique this extension uses to keep focus in the address bar means the site you choose as your new tab page must allow iframing.

Sites that set the X-Frame-Options: DENY or X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN header will not load inside the new tab page. Instead you will see a Blocked by X-Frame-Options Policy error:

Is it possible that the addon opens link in a new tab and closes the current tab? That'd be a nice workaround. Also going to URLs using javascript and changing window.location works. This could be another workaround.

@niyumard I think you're talking about #1.
This issue is about some sites being unable to be used as the new tab URL, which #19 should fix.
