Hi folks,
I'm trying to learn coding with a series of projects. I'm stuck on the first one and could use some help. 🤦♂️
I'm trying to create a Chrome extension that adds an image as the background for Twitter. I've successfully been able to do this for the Google homepage, but I can't get it to work on the Twitter page.
Could someone please help me to understand what I'm doing wrong?
The code is open in my GitHub: https://github.com/Kasi21/TwitterBackground
Thanks in advance, and looking forward to getting involved with this community!

I played around with this a bit and eventually realized that the issue isn't with your code - it's that Twitter is blocking the image URL from being loaded!
You can tell it took a while from the "156" times the error showed up in my console 😅
Ah, thanks so much for looking at this Tyler! 🦸♂️
Is that something Twitter is doing on purpose? Is there an alternative way to load the image URL so that it can be used as the background?
Hi Tyler,
I managed to sort it out!
Thanks for your help - I wouldn't have been able to do it if you hadn't pointed me in the right direction regarding the error code! I posted in a couple of other forums, and I updated them with the answer and saying that I got it with help from the CodeNewbie Forum - so hopefully, that drives some traffic this way!
If anyone else is interested, basically, I had to load the background image locally by adapting the code from: github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-ext...
Cheers
Glad I was able to get you in the right direction!
That's a neat way to resolve the error - glad you shared it so I can have it as a resource if I ever need it! 🥳
