Programatically close browser or disable all chrome extensions instead

Question

I need a solution to quit/close browser at some point in application logic. window.close(); doesn't help me out here as there are cases when several tabs are open, thus I need to close whole browser. I'm not sure if it is entirely possible, as there are indeed security/partical issues here, hence any other solutions or ideas will be appreciated.

This is mainly for stopping certain chrome extensions, maybe there is a way to disable these programatically instead?

Answer 1

The chrome.management API provides ways to manage the list of extensions/apps that are installed and running.

In particular, you have the chrome.management.setEnabled function, which can programmatically enable or disable a chrome extension.

So, you can write your own extension using this API and specifying the "management" permission in the manifest.
