Examples

This example uses suspend/resume to delay a web request.

function listener(details) {
  let filter = browser.webRequest.filterResponseData(details.requestId);

  filter.onstart = event => {
    filter.suspend();

    setTimeout(() => {
      filter.resume();
      filter.disconnect();
    }, 1000);

  }
}

browser.webRequest.onBeforeRequest.addListener(
  listener,
  {urls: ["https://example.org/"], types: ["main_frame"]},
  ["blocking"]
);
