# chill-out
|
|
|
|
## What it does
|
|
|
|
After 6 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 https://giphy.com/explore/cat.
|
|
|
|
The delay of 6 seconds is to make the extension's behavior obvious, but such a short
|
|
period is not recommended in practical applications. Note that in Chrome, alarms do not
|
|
fire in under 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.

How to:
|
|
|
|
* use various `tabs` functions.
|
|
* show and hide a page action.
|
|
* set alarms and handle alarms going off.
