# chill-out
|
|
|
|
## What it does
|
|
|
|
After N seconds of inactivity (defined as the user not having navigated
|
|
or switched away from the active tab) display a
|
|
[page action](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/pageAction)
|
|
for that tab.
|
|
|
|
When the user clicks the page action,
|
|
navigate to http://chilloutandwatchsomecatgifs.com/.
|
|
|
|
"N" is set to 6 seconds in this example. Such a short period is chosen to make
|
|
the extension's behavior more obvious, but this is not recommended in real life.
|
|
Note that in Chrome, alarms cannot be set for less than a minute. In Chrome:
|
|
|
|
* if you install this extension "unpacked", you'll see a warning
|
|
in the console, but the alarm will still go off after 6 seconds
|
|
* if you package the extension and install it, then the alarm will go off after
|
|
a minute.
|
|

|
|

|
|
