For example: </p> <pre>{ "name": "My extension", ... <b>"permissions": [ "tabs" ]</b>, ... }</pre> <p> The two methods that don't require the "tabs" permission are <a href="#method-create"><code>create</code></a> and <a href="#method-update"><code>update</code></a>. </p> <h2 id="examples"> Examples </h2> <p> You can find simple examples of using the tabs module in the <a href="http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/common/extensions/docs/examples/api/tabs/">examples/api/tabs</a> directory.
