I created a simple Chrome extension that simply tells a user how many notifications they have on Facebook, and then displays those notifications when the address bar icon is clicked. I don't precache notifications because doing so would cause them to be marked as viewed on the Facebook site, so instead I wait until the button has been pressed and then initiate an XHR request to the Facebook servers to get the notification count.
My problem is that even though the request was implemented asynchronously, for some reason the popup won't open at all until it has been fully processed. This causes the window to seem laggy which is obviously undesireable. I believe that my code itself is not at fault, because when I view the popup page through the chrome- extension:// protocol it seems to load the local HTML first and then load the notifications only once they've been parsed, as I intended. Should I be doing something differently, or is this an issue with the extension framework? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chromium-extensions" group.
