A very good W3school tutorial can be found here.

Javascript – Is there way to query multiple urls using chrome.tabs

I am writing a chrome extension and it needs to work on multiple sites.
Is there away I can modify this tabs.query to detect additional urls other than amazon?

It would be better if there was a way to detect website tags like for shopping or video related websites. Im very new to chrome extension programming.

chrome.tabs.query({ url: 'https://www.amazon.com/*', }, (tabs) => {
      alert("site detected");
      tabs.forEach(tab => {
        chrome.tabs.remove(tab.id);
      });
    });

    Just filter them out later. Since you’ll be using MV3, you can do it like this:

    (await chrome.tabs.query({})).filter(t => 
  ['https://www.amazon.com/', 'https://www.example.com/']
  .some(m => t.url.startsWith(m))
).forEach(t => chrome.tabs.remove(t.id))

    You can pass multiple URLs as an array.

    chrome.tabs.query({ url: [ /* array of URL patterns */ ]}, tabs => {
    // ...
});

    See the documentation. It states the following for the url property of queryInfo:

    Match tabs against one or more URL patterns. Fragment identifiers are not matched. This property is ignored if the extension does not have the "tabs" permission.
