How to get just opened pages not chrome special pages in my own extension

Question

I want to get opened tabs but not opened empty new tabs, bookmarks tab, download tabs and etc. How can I do it?

Answer 1

Use *://*/* where the first * matches http and https, more info in the documentation.

chrome.tabs.query({url: '*://*/*'}, tabs => {
  // process tabs here
});

If you want to include file:// tabs too:

chrome.tabs.query({url: ['*://*/*', 'file://*/*']}, tabs => {
  // process tabs here
});
