Open an extension page in background Chrome (CDP)

What it does

The Open Extension command navigates background Chrome to an extension internal page, of the form chrome-extension://<ID>/<path> (e.g. home.html, popup.html). Often used to open a wallet/extension UI and automate it.

When to use it

  • Open an extension UI (crypto wallet, cookie helper…).
  • Automatically go to an extension settings page.
  • Prepare an extension page before clicking/typing.

Configuration steps

  1. Get the extension ID (in chrome://extensions with Developer mode on).
  2. Add Browser › Open Extension, enter the ID and the page path (default home.html).
  3. Choose current/new tab. Save.

Every option explained

Extension ID

The extension ID string (32 chars). Find it in chrome://extensions.

Page path

The page file inside the extension: home.html, popup.html, index.html… Defaults to home.html.

Open mode (current / new tab)

Open the extension page in the current tab or a new tab.

Real example

Example: open a wallet UI

  1. Open Extension with the wallet ID and path home.html (new tab).
  2. Delay 1500ms.
  3. Use Smart HTML to type the unlock password.

Tips & common mistakes

A wrong ID or an uninstalled extension leads to a blank/error page. Verify the ID in chrome://extensions first.
