So this seems like it should be really simple, but I can't find it anywhere on Google. I have a certain Google Chrome extension that I've downloaded from the Chrome Extension store, and I'm trying to slightly tweak the way it displays some stuff on its chrome-extension:// page. TamperMonkey normally works great for this on a http:// page, but I can't seem to get my script to even activate for a chrome-extension:// page. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

    This is not possible. Google explicitly codes against this. Perhaps the Vivaldi browser might one day support it (doubtful). You can also fork the Chromium project and add/restore this capability (not a quick prospect). – Brock Adams Dec 09 '17 at 19:08

    Gotcha, so maybe I could accomplish this by creating a separate extension that uses chrome.extension.getViews() to modify this extension's page? Or would that not work either? – Timothy Dec 09 '17 at 19:26

    Won't work. But keep trying and let us know if you find something. Many of those pages need a good scripting. – Brock Adams Dec 09 '17 at 19:49
  • @Timothy, any news about the progress and success of your development? – Oo'- Jan 09 '22 at 23:03
  • I'm interested in this too. I know that Brave browser has flags "Enable extension network blocking" and "Extensions on chrome:// URLs" that could help this – Rudolph Aug 19 '23 at 22:17
