Please check with security team that they are ok putting an extension API in chrome-untrusted. As far as I can see, this defeats the point of using chrome-untrusted. If we deem the code in the frame is not trustworthy and could be susceptible to being abused, then we would want to limit the abuse surface - and chrome.tabs has some things we might not want to be abused (e.g. opening a tab to a phishing site).

Actually; let's do with handlers as we discussed 😄

Marking as "Request changes" until we have a security review or take a different approach. I think a preferred approach would be to add Mojom methods for UI actions, e.g. VisitSupportPage would open the necessary URL in a new tab. That would be better for cross-platform too.

brave_vpn.mojom's ServiceHandler also seems like a good cross-platform place to put the handler's for these UI actions.

This looks great! There are a few other places where chrome.tabs.create was used (doh; my bad). I think we can effectively remove this panel from that whitelist after this change is complete (no reason to keep brave://vpn-panel.top-chrome/)

Here are the places:

  • src\brave\components\brave_vpn\resources\panel\components\contact-support\index.tsx
  • src\brave\components\brave_vpn\resources\panel\components\error-subscription-failed-panel\index.tsx
  • src\brave\components\brave_vpn\resources\panel\components\settings-panel\index.tsx

You think PanelHandler is a better place than ServiceHandler?

yes, we need access to chrome/browser/ui and VPNPanelHandler has it. ServiceHandler is on component level. Also that seems just click handlers, not the service logic

I guess it's fine and if android needs similar we can think about it or duplicate it. But it's a click handler just as much as any other buttons which result in calls to service handler.
