You can send the file's URI to your server. Then your server-side code will download it from the page into the server and process it.

Then proceed to the following steps:

  1. Add file path to the web_accessible_resources property in the manifest.json file
  2. Get the URL of the file using chrome.runtime.getURL('path/to/file').

  3. Make a GET request to the URL:

    const url = chrome.runtime.getURL('path/to/file'); fetch(url) .then((response) => response.json()) //assuming file contains json .then((json) => doSomething(json));
