The line

if (currURL = 'https://www.example.com')

should be

if (currURL === 'https://www.example.com')

Remember that,

= is assignment, not comparison.
== is comparison without type check.
```
1 == '1'  // true
1 == 1    // true
```
=== is comparison with type check.
```
1 == '1'  // false
1 == 1    // true
```
