Important: Upgrade to Manifest V3 Required (MV2 End of Life - Let's Save This Extension!)

[jacobshilitz]

This extension currently displays the message: "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." This is due to the upcoming end of support for Manifest V2 (MV2). I love this extension and I would hate to see it disappear! Let's work together to upgrade it to Manifest V3 (MV3) and ensure its continued functionality.

Key Dates:

• January 2024: Chrome Web Store stops accepting new MV2 extensions.
• June 2024: Chrome stops updating existing MV2 extensions for general users.
• October 9th 2024 and on: MV2 slowly phase-out.

see https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate/mv2-deprecation-timeline

Action Required:

Migrate this extension to Manifest V3. This involves updating the manifest file and likely adapting the extension's code.

Migration Resources:

• Manifest V3 Introduction: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/intro/
• Migration Guide: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate

Impact of Not Upgrading:

Failure to upgrade by the deadlines will lead to the extension being unusable in Chrome. Let's prevent this!

Checklist:

• [ ] Review the Manifest V3 documentation.
• [ ] Assess the necessary code changes.
• [ ] Update the manifest file.
• [ ] Test the migrated extension thoroughly.
• [ ] Publish the updated extension to the Chrome Web Store.

This issue will be used to track the progress of the Manifest V3 migration. Please comment below if you have any questions or require assistance. Community support is also available via the Chrome extension developer forums and Stack Overflow.

Let's keep this great extension alive! I'm happy to contribute when my schedule allows.
