Bug? No reaction on: "This webpage is not available"

[DapperTayra]

Hi,

I'm so used to this tool, it is truly great. And I found a potential bug.

The shortcuts do not work if I navigate to a website which says: "This webpage is not available". Closing it with 'x' doesnt work. I usually CTRL+W or similar the tabs, but I felt this might be interesting for this project.

Chromium: Version 29.0.1547.57 Built on Debian 7.1, running on Debian 7.2 (217859)
Vimium: 1.43

Cheers!

This is a chromium bug. The "This webpage is unavailable" page admits the URL data:text/html,chromewebdata, and hence Vimium is unable to activate on it.

Allow content script insertion on about:-URLs.

Adds a new key content_scripts[*].match_about_blank and
InjectionDetails.matchAboutBlank.
If true, content scripts will also be inserted in about:* frames
provided that its origin matches a pattern in the extension permissions.

Looking at the documentation added by the commit, this flag has no effect on the data: schema, and so can't help us here.

Since the tor project is also pushing for this to be resolved, there is still hope for a fix in the future.
