I am working on a Chrome extension, and at some point I need to exit the browser's process.

I tried closing all windows using this code:

chrome.windows.getCurrent({}, function(window) {
    chrome.windows.remove(window.id);
});

and it works on Windows and Linux but not on Mac (because on Mac, closing all windows doesn't mean closing the browser).

Is there a way to close the browser from the extension?

Thanks.

  • Maybe, you should try not to depend on closing the browser. I would uninstall an extension, which closes my browser. – Christian Kuetbach Commented Aug 16, 2013 at 10:12
  • 1 @ChristianKuetbach its fine if it's expected behaviour. a boss-key es to mind. – monsto Commented Aug 16, 2013 at 15:17
  • One somewhat ugly way would be to use NativeMessaging and have your native script kill the Chrome process… or cleaner by using AppleScript to tell the application to quit. (I haven't tried with AppleScript but I'm sure there are ways to make it work) – Timothée Boucher Commented Aug 16, 2013 at 16:35

Reset to default 9 +50

Install the bleeding-edge version of Chrome (get if from the dev channel or use Canary) and create an extension that uses the chrome.processes API.

It seems that the browser's process has ID 0. So, the following code will terminate Chrome:

chrome.processes.terminate(0);

However, since this is not documented, I suggest to get a list of processes, loop through the list and terminate the browser's process:

chrome.processes.getProcessInfo([], false, function(processes) {
    processes.forEach(function(process) {
        if (process.type === 'browser') {
            chrome.processes.terminate(process.id);
        }
    });
});

Alternative methods that work in all Chrome versions:

  • Create a NPAPI plugin and kill Chrome.
  • Host a local server of your choice that terminates your browser on (http) request.
  • Install a local application and use the native message API to request termination of Chrome.

These methods are not very convenient, and all either binary code and/or external applications to work. Therefore, I remend to use the approach I've outlined in my answer.

As of 2018:

Modern answer without anything fancy. Just a chrome extension.
Add this bad boy to your popup.js or browseraction.js (call it what you want)

chrome.tabs.query({}, function (tabs) {
  for (var i = 0; i < tabs.length; i++) {
      chrome.tabs.remove(tabs[i].id);
  }
});
window.close();

And ensure that you have it listed inside both your manifest (JSON) and your popup (HTML) file:

HTML

<html>
  <head>
    <script src="js/popup.js"></script>
  </head>
</html>

 

JSON

 ...
"browser_action": {
    "default_icon": "this part is optional.png",
    "default_title": "close chrome",    
    "default_popup": "popup.html",
    "matches": ["*://*", "*:*"]
},
 ...

Here's where I got it from: link & here are the chrome-extension-manifest requirements / correct format: link

If there is no other tabs opened you could close the current tab by fireing:

chrome.tabs.getCurrent(function(tab) {
    chrome.tabs.remove(tab.id)
})

That'il close the Browser.
