Prevent Popup from opening
Hey there, fellow browser extension developer using Plasmo! I'd be happy to help you with your question.
To prevent the Popup from activating when a user is authenticated, you can use a combination of messaging between your content script and background script, along with some conditional logic.
Here's a possible approach you can take:
1. In your content script, you can listen for a message from the background script indicating whether the user is authenticated or not. You can use the
2. When the content script receives the message, it can check the authentication status. If the user is authenticated, you can trigger the desired UI display directly from the content script, without involving the Popup. You can use DOM manipulation or inject HTML/CSS into the page to achieve this.
3. If the user is not authenticated, you can continue with your current implementation, where the Popup appears when clicked.
By using this approach, you can have different behaviors based on the user's authentication status. The Popup will only be activated when the user is not authenticated, and the Content Script UI will seamlessly launch when the user is authenticated.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions or need more clarification.
Oh, and here's a little trivia for you: Did you know that the first browser extension ever created was for Internet Explorer 5? It was called "Browser Enhancer" and was released in 1999. Extensions have come a long way since then!
