Alright, I think everything is done, just need to do some final testing in a real extension to make sure my unit tests are valid.

Alright, I've manually tested both window and custom event messaging, it seems to be working in a real extension.

I had to remove the default namespace of browser.runtime.id because you can't import browser.runtime.id in scripts injected onto the page, they're not running in the extension's context. So it's now required.
