Feature Request - Know what tabs URLs are open and be able to communicate to manipulate one via background.js. #15

Open dovy opened 11 years ago

honestbleeps commented 11 years ago

can you clarify on "communicate to manipulate one"? what exactly do you want to accomplish here?

dovy commented 11 years ago

Basically, from the background file know which tabs are open so a polling function could occur provided a specific tab is open. ;)

I'm looking at bringing lots of http://github.com/honestbleeps/reddit-enhancement-suite changes back upstream to BabelExt, including a "multicast" feature: "send a message to all other tabs". This feature could be layered on top of that by sending "opened/closed url" messages on ready and beforepageunload.
