im trying load url's favicon using chromes favicon url:

<img class='icon' src='chrome://favicon/yahoo.com' />

but im getting error :

"not allowed load local resource: chrome://favicon/yahoo.com"

and in manifest have:

"permissions": [ "chrome://favicon/" ],

there isnt much available online topic. suggestions?

problems in code "permissions": ["chrome://favicon/"], invalid pattern in manifest file

if want utilize url of tab's favicon utilize chrome.tabs api in extension pages.

demonstration manifest.json

registered background page , added necessary permissions.

{ "name": "fav icon", "description": "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14800881/not-allowed-to-load-local-resource-chrome-favicon", "version": "1", "manifest_version": 2, "background": { "scripts": [ "background.js" ] }, "permissions": [ "tabs", "<all_urls>" ] } background.js chrome.tabs.query({ "active": true,//fetch active tabs "currentwindow": true,//fetch tabs in current window "status": "complete",//fetch loaded windows "windowtype": "normal"//fetch normal windows }, function (tabs) { (tab in tabs) { console.log(tabs[tab].faviconurl);// utilize url needed } });

chrome.tabs.query work in extension pages, if want utilize in content scripts utilize message passing communicate url.

references chrome.tabs api message passing
