This is more "safe", but, if styling to the last detail isn't so important, this method would introduce unnecessary overhead. Accept the fact that there will be a slight chance of your elements getting affected by the wdbpages CSS. Try to define as many properties as you can or at least the ones you really care about (and make sense for the underlying HTML).ī.

Now, regarding the styling "interference" it is an actual problem, which I can think of 3 solutions for: This allows us to offer extra functionality to content scripts that should not be accessible from web pages without worrying about web pages accessing it.

Isolated worlds allow each content script to make changes to its JavaScript environment without worrying about conflicting with the page or with other content scripts. (reconnectToExtension) įirst of all, as far as your consideration about interfering with the webpage's JS context is concerned, there is nothing to worry about since content scripts live in an isolated world: event if it does not connect, an unsuccessful connection should trigger We listen for an onDisconnect event, and then wait for a second before will still be injected, so we have to reconnect them.
