I have a chrome extension that takes over the users new tab. We are using google authentication through our own server. My problem is that I cannot figure out how to "res.redirect" back to the new tab once the user has logged in or out.
I need something along the lines of
app.get(
'/auth/google/callback',
passport.authenticate('google'),
(req, res) => {
res.redirect(chrome://newtab)
});
Does anyone have any experience with this or any knowledge on how to address it?
Thanks in advance!

You have to do this on the client; have the extension close the current, then open a new tab. – Jun 24 '18 at 19:11
