title: how to limit chrome extensions to certain domains?
body: <p>As an end user, I would like to restrict the extensions to run only on certain domains.  Like an extension that needs to enhance gmail, to only trigger on mail.google.com.</p>
  
  <p>I am reposting this question from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10504239/limit-chrome-extension-to-certain-urls">Limit Chrome Extension to certain URLs?</a></p>
  
  <p>The OP wanted it for extension developer.  But as an end user, I wanted this for protecting myself from rouge extension or just to make the page load faster without triggering all the extensions.</p>
  
  <p>I found that the original post had the answer for this at <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/53315464/1500545">https://stackoverflow.com/a/53315464/1500545</a></p>
  
  <p>since the OP's need was for developers, I was not highly upvoted.  Will post the answer here and accept it.</p>
