run chrome extension on page load

i have found this extension Behind The Overlay which removes the overlay on the webpage that we visit. for doing so we have to click on the extension icon.

i want to do this programmatically. i.e on page load the extension should run automatically

https://github.com/NicolaeNMV/BehindTheOverlay

i want to add delay before this line

 chrome.tabs.executeScript(null, {file: "overlay_remover.js"});

how to do this?

chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener( function (tabId, changeInfo, tab) {
  if (changeInfo.status === 'complete' && tab.active) {

    // add some delay here


    chrome.tabs.executeScript(null, {file: "overlay_remover.js"});
  }
})

You can do that by editing your background.js replacing alert() with chrome.tabs.executeScript(null, {file: "/js/overlay_remover.js"}); and include the overlay remover in your files:

chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener( function (tabId, changeInfo, tab) {
  if (changeInfo.status === 'complete' && tab.active) {
    setTimeout(() => {
      chrome.tabs.executeScript(null, {file: "overlay_remover.js"});
    }, 3000); // 3000 = delay in milliseconds (3 seconds)
  }
})

Note that you should keep your manifest the same and keep your background.js
