How can you set the browser homepage using the extension manifest?

I'm making an extension which replaces the users new tab page, and i would also like it to replace the users start up homepage. Right now in my manifest I'm using:

"chrome_settings_overrides" : {
"homepage": "givr/index.html"
},

But when i try to install the extension I get the error stating it's not a valid value:
"ErrorInvalid value for overriding homepage url: '[givr/index.html]'."

Any ideas?

Solution

  • Try something like this, it worked for me:

    "chrome_settings_overrides" : {
    "homepage": "https://own.intra.site/index.html"
 }
