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

A permissions.Permissions object.

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

This code adds a click handler that removes a given permission.

const permissionToRemove = {
  permissions: ["history"]
}

function remove() {
  console.log("removing");
  browser.permissions.remove(permissionToRemove).then(result => {
    console.log(result);
  });
}

document.querySelector("#remove").addEventListener("click", remove);
