I'm writing a Chrome extension, I need to get my extension's id in my code, so I don't need to change it manually every time. How can I do this?

You can get it like this (no extra permissions required) in two different ways:

but you don't need it for opening pages, as chrome.tabs.create() (and some others) understand relative paths.

So to open index.html from your extension folder you should just use:

chrome.tabs.create({url: index.html});
