will adding new content script disable chrome extension

I have an existing chrome extension in chrome web store. I know that adding new permissions will disable my extension to old users once they upgrade. So for new permissions, i use optional permissions.

Now I need to add a new content_script js file under existing place

OLD:

{
    "js": ["scripts/jquery-2.1.1.min.js", "scripts/myscript.js"],
    "matches" : ["<all_urls>"]
}

NEW:

{
    "js": ["scripts/jquery-2.1.1.min.js", "scripts/newscript.min.js", "scripts/myscript.js"],
    "matches" : ["<all_urls>"]
}

Will this disable my chrome extension for old users once they upgrade?

Solution

  • No, if you already have permission for all sites, upgrading with permission for all sites will not disable your extension.
