Is chrome.extension.onRequest deprecated?

I'm building a chrome extension and attempting to attach an event listener to this, but I'm not seeing anything in the console of the background page.

chrome.extension.onRequest.addListener(function(request, sender, sendResponse) {
          console.log('REFERRER', request.ref);
        });

This code is in my main.js background page, all my other event listeners (chrome.tabs.onUpdated, chrome.extension.onMessage, etc) are all working fine though.

Yes, Request was deprecated in favor of 'Message'. So instead of onRequest you should use onMessage, and sendMessage as a replacement for sendRequest.
