Post is rather old and not closely related to Chrome extensions development  but let it be here   I had same problem when responding on message in callback  The solution is to return true in background message listener   Here is simple example of background js  It responses to any message from popup js   chrome runtime onMessage addListener function rq  sender  sendResponse           setTimeout to simulate any callback  even from storage sync      setTimeout function             sendResponse  status  true           1          return true      uncomment this line to fix error       Here is popup js  which sends message on popup  You ll get exceptions until you un-comment  return true  line in background js file   document addEventListener  DOMContentLoaded        gt        chrome extension sendMessage  action   ping    function resp            console log JSON stringify resp                  manifest json  just in case    Pay attention on alarm permissions section        name    TestMessages      version    0 1 0      manifest version   2     browser action          default popup    src popup html          background          scripts     src background js         persistent   false         permissions          alarms

In my case it was a breakpoint set in my own page source   If I removed or disabled the breakpoint then the error would clear up   The breakpoint was in a moderately complex chunk of rendering code   Other breakpoints in different parts of the page had no such effect   I was not able to work out a simple test case that always trigger this error

Looks like the NoCoffee Vision Simulator extension for Chrome will also cause this error  Just adding it as a prospective cause for people looking in their own instance

For those coming here to debug this error in Chrome 73  one possibility is because Chrome 73 onwards disallows cross-origin requests in content scripts   More reading    https   www chromestatus com feature 5629709824032768 https   www chromium org Home chromium-security extension-content-script-fetches   This affects many Chrome extension authors  who now need to scramble to fix the extensions because Chrome thinks  Our data shows that most extensions will not be affected by this change     it has nothing to do with your app code   UPDATE  I fixed the CORs issue but I still see this error  I suspect it is Chrome s fault here

In case you re an extension developer who googled your way here trying to stop causing this error  The issue isn t CORB  as another answer here states   as blocked CORs manifest as warnings like -  Cross-Origin Read Blocking  CORB  blocked cross-origin response https   www example com example html with MIME type text html  See https   www chromestatus com feature 5629709824032768 for more details   The issue is most likely a mishandled async response to runtime sendMessage   As MDN says   To send an asynchronous response  there are two options   return true from the event listener  This keeps the sendResponse function valid after the listener returns  so you can call it later  return a Promise from the event listener  and resolve when you have the response  or reject it in case of an error     When you send an async response but fail to use either of these mechanisms  the supplied sendResponse argument to sendMessage goes out of scope and the result is exactly as the error message says  your message port  the message-passing apparatus  is closed before the response was received  Webextension-polyfill authors have already written about it in June 2018  So bottom line  if you see your extension causing these errors - inspect closely all your onMessage listeners  Some of them probably need to start returning promises  marking them as async should be enough    Thanks  vdegenne

I was sending console log data from one tab to another and did not really needed the first console  However the error message did bug me so I right clicked and selected  don t show messages from x website   Maybe this is the easiest fix

Make sure you are using the correct syntax   We should use the sendMessage   method after listening it   Here is a simple example of contentScript js It sendRequest to app js   contentScript js  chrome extension sendRequest       title   giveSomeTitle   params  paramsToSend      function result            Do Some action       app js  chrome extension onRequest addListener  function message  sender    sendResponse      if message title      giveSomeTitle           Do some action with message params     sendResponse true

I disabled Chrome extension  quot Coupons at Checkout quot  and this problem was solved

User · Answer

If you go to chrome   extensions   you can just toggle each extension one at a time and see which one is actually triggering the issue    Once you toggle the extension off  refresh the page where you are seeing the error and wiggle the mouse around  or click  Mouse actions are the things that are throwing errors     So I was able to pinpoint which extension was actually causing the issue and disable it

If error reason is extension use incognito  Ctrl Shift N  In incognito mode Chrome does not have extensions   UPD  If you need some extension in incognito mode e g  ReduxDevTools or any other  in extension settings turn on  Allow in incognito

I have answered on this      In my case  the problem was because of Video Downloader professional and AdBlock   In short  this problem occurs due to some google chrome plugins

User · Answer

This error is generally caused by one of your Chrome extensions    I recommend installing this One-Click Extension Disabler  I use it with the keyboard shortcut COMMAND       SHIFT       D     to quickly disable enable all my extensions    Once the extensions are disabled this error message should go away   Peace
