permissions.remove()

Ask to give up the permissions listed in the given permissions.Permissions object.

The Permissions argument may contain either an origins property, which is an array of host permissions, or a permissions property, which is an array of API permissions, or both. Permissions must come from the set of permissions defined in the optional_permissions manifest.json key.

This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise.

  permissions                // Permissions object
)

Parameters

permissions

A permissions.Permissions object.

Return value

A Promise that will be fulfilled with true if the permissions listed in the permissions argument were removed, or false otherwise.
