Each time I try to use window.close(); I just get the error Scripts may only close the windows that were opened by them, is there any way to bypass this?

CodePudding user response：

Looks like it’s not.

See the documentation:

This method can only be called on windows that were opened by a script using the Window.open() method. If the window was not opened by a script, an error similar to this one appears in the console: Scripts may not close windows that were not opened by script.
