Public bug reported:
When I updated to 13.10 and Chromium 29.0.1547.65-0ubuntu2, a few
extensions stopped working properly. The easiest to reproduce is Reddit
Enhancement Suite 4.3.0.1, it immediately fails on loading the extension
with this error:
chrome.extension is not available: 'extension' is not allowed for
specified context type content script, extension page, web page, etc.).
[VM] binding (22):427
Following from anywhere that called chrome.extension.sendMessage or
chrome.extension.onMessage in the extension. Chromium's own bug tracker
says this usage is deprecated (replaced by chrome.runtime namespace
which does work) but testing against Chrome 29.0.1547.76 on the stable
channel, the older namespace works correctly with the extensions.
