Changing the default list of trusted/whitelisted sites

Hi,
I am automating the installation of Chrome on a Fedora system, along with the installation of noscript. I have the chrome and noscript extension installing working nicely from a script, what I'd like to be able to do next is be able to modify the default list of permissions on sites as part of this. Is this possible? Is there a file that can be bundles into the package (in this case the crx) that can customise the list of trusted/untrusted sites?

(Oh, don't really know, but...

thinking, that given we're talking Quantum, you wouldn't be able to change the default list in (within) the .xpi itself?
but, would (does) a user.js (still) work?)

Thanks for the response. XPI is for firefox. I am talking about Chrome based browsers here. I will look around in the CRX file for user.js, thank you.

Heh.

While I've "used" Chrome, While I've installed (.xpi) extensions into Chrome, just figured (actually didn't even give it any thought) that it also used user.js, but now thinking that's not going to be the case.

So, I'll stop now, lol.
