Manifest V2 support #51

Open trimechee opened 5 days ago

Hello, the catastrophe manifest v3 is generalized to many extensions and will make extensions less powerful and censored limited weak, like ad blockers which become weaker less effective, and perhaps this limitation also applies to video download extensions , so my request please make a special specific version compatible with manifest v2 for supermium web browser and catsxp web browser and thorium legacy, vivaldi, brave which are compatible with modern Windows 10/11 os and which will keep support for manifest v2 so the extension video downloader will no longer be limited censored by the very restrictive manifest v3, or make a special version for palemoon/basilisk web browsers if the apocalypse manifest v3 is generalized to all web browsers!

so we can continue to install the video downloader manifest v2 extensions in supermium browser, catsxp browser.... outside the dictatorship of the stores and without the unfair limitation of manifest v3!

Thank you so much!

Hey. Right now I don't think there is any benefit to using manifest V2 unless I'm missing something. The existing extension works with manifest v3 just fine. However, there may come a time when the manifest v2 might be the only solution to more complicated browser extension features. So, unless I run into issues moving forward, I don't think adding the v2 support will be necessary. That said, given the nature of the future features of the browser extension, I believe using manifest v2 will be the only option.
