chrome.contentSettings | API | Chrome for Developers

Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.

Use the chrome.contentSettings API to change settings that control whether websites can use features such as cookies, JavaScript, and plugins. More generally speaking, content settings allow you to customize Chrome's behavior on a per-site basis instead of globally.

contentSettings

You must declare the "contentSettings" permission in your extension's manifest to use the API. For example:

{
  "name": "My extension",
  ...
  "permissions": [
    "contentSettings"
  ],
  ...
}

You can use patterns to specify the websites that each content setting affects. For example, https://*.youtube.com/* specifies youtube.com and all of its subdomains. The syntax for content setting patterns is the same as for match patterns, with a few differences:

• For http, https, and ftp URLs, the path must be a wildcard (/*). For file URLs, the path must be completely specified and must not contain wildcards.
• In contrast to match patterns, content setting patterns can specify a port number. If a port number is specified, the pattern only matches websites with that port. If no port number is specified, the pattern matches all ports.

When more than one content setting rule applies for a given site, the rule with the more specific pattern takes precedence.

For example, the following patterns are ordered by precedence:

1. https://www.example.com/*
2. https://*.example.com/* (matching example.com and all subdomains)
3. <all_urls> (matching every URL)

Three kinds of wildcards affect how specific a pattern is:

• Wildcards in the port (for example https://www.example.com:*/*)
• Wildcards in the scheme (for example *://www.example.com:123/*)
• Wildcards in the hostname (for example https://*.example.com:123/*)

If a pattern is more specific than another pattern in one part but less specific in another part, the different parts are checked in the following order: hostname, scheme, port. For example, the following patterns are ordered by precedence:

1. https://www.example.com:*/* Specifies the hostname and scheme.
2. *:/www.example.com:123/* Not as high, because although it specifies the hostname, it doesn't specify the scheme.
3. https://*.example.com:123/* Lower because although it specifies the port and scheme, it has a wildcard in the hostname.

The URL taken into account when deciding which content setting to apply depends on the content type. For example, for contentSettings.notifications settings are based on the URL shown in the omnibox. This URL is called the "primary" URL.

Some content types can take additional URLs into account. For example, whether a site is allowed to set a contentSettings.cookies is decided based on the URL of the HTTP request (which is the primary URL in this case) as well as the URL shown in the omnibox (which is called the "secondary" URL).

If multiple rules have primary and secondary patterns, the rule with the more specific primary pattern takes precedence. If there multiple rules have the same primary pattern, the rule with the more specific secondary pattern takes precedence. For example, the following list of primary/secondary pattern pairs is ordered by precedence:

Secondary patterns are not supported for the images content setting.

Resource identifiers allow you to specify content settings for specific subtypes of a content type. Currently, the only content type that supports resource identifiers is contentSettings.plugins, where a resource identifier identifies a specific plugin. When applying content settings, first the settings for the specific plugin are checked. If there are no settings found for the specific plugin, the general content settings for plugins are checked.

For example, if a content setting rule has the resource identifier adobe-flash-player and the pattern <all_urls>, it takes precedence over a rule without a resource identifier and the pattern https://www.example.com/*, even if that pattern is more specific.

You can get a list of resource identifiers for a content type by calling the contentSettings.ContentSetting.getResourceIdentifiers() method. The returned list can change with the set of installed plugins on the user's machine, but Chrome tries to keep the identifiers stable across plugin updates.

To try this API, install the contentSettings API example from the chrome-extension-samples repository.

• Clear all content setting rules set by this extension.

  The clear function looks like:

  (details: object) => {...}

  • • Where to clear the setting (default: regular).

• Gets the current content setting for a given pair of URLs.

  The get function looks like:

  (details: object) => {...}

      boolean optional

      Whether to check the content settings for an incognito session. (default false)

    • The primary URL for which the content setting should be retrieved. Note that the meaning of a primary URL depends on the content type.

    • A more specific identifier of the type of content for which the settings should be retrieved.

    • secondaryUrl

      string optional

      The secondary URL for which the content setting should be retrieved. Defaults to the primary URL. Note that the meaning of a secondary URL depends on the content type, and not all content types use secondary URLs.

• getResourceIdentifiers

  void

  The getResourceIdentifiers function looks like:

  () => {...}

• Applies a new content setting rule.

  The set function looks like:

  (details: object) => {...}

  • • The pattern for the primary URL. For details on the format of a pattern, see Content Setting Patterns.

    • The resource identifier for the content type.

    • Where to set the setting (default: regular).

    • secondaryPattern

      string optional

      The pattern for the secondary URL. Defaults to matching all URLs. For details on the format of a pattern, see Content Setting Patterns.

    • The setting applied by this rule. See the description of the individual ContentSetting objects for the possible values.
