The BrowserSetting.get()
method gets the current value of the browser setting, and an enumeration indicating how the setting's value is currently controlled.
This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise
.
var getting = setting.get( details // object )
details
A Promise
that will be fulfilled with an object with the following properties:
value
levelOfControl
string
. This represents the way the setting is currently controlled. You can use it to check whether you can modify the setting. See BrowserSetting.set()
for details. Its value may be any of the following: "not_controllable" | Extensions are not allowed to modify this setting. |
"controlled_by_other_extensions" | Another extension that was installed after this one has modified this setting. |
"controllable_by_this_extension" | This extension is allowed to modify the setting. |
"controlled_by_this_extension" | This extension has already modified the setting. |
Log the value and level of control for the networkPredictionEnabled
property of the privacy.network
object, for private browsing windows. Note that this requires the "privacy" browser permission.
var getting = browser.privacy.network.networkPredictionEnabled.get({}); getting.then((got) => { console.log(`Value: ${got.value}`); console.log(`Control: ${got.levelOfControl}`); });
