Bug: No functionality on pages blocked by extension
Using Chromium version 53 on Debian Testing (Linux)
To recreate this bug:
- Download Backspace to go Back
- Download EFF's HTTPS Everywhere
- Click on the extension
- Toggle "Block all unencrypted requests"
- Visit an https:// URL Washington Post
- Visit an http:// URL New York Times
- Receive "ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT" page
- Attempt to use backspace to go back functionality
- No bueno
Possible Solution:
- Visit this Chrome flag: chrome://flags/#extensions-on-chrome-urls
- As the flag's description states "explicitly request this permission"
- ???? (I'd imagine this would mean updating the manifest file?)
- Profit????
btw, I hope that you don't stop supporting the extension simply in favor of Google's extension, as with theirs it requires you to accept their terms and it isn't open source.
