Bug: Chrome native UI preventing JSON Formatter

[tippold]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [x] I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

Chrome seems to have introduced a new feature called "pretty print" when opening JSON files. It seems that this is blocking the JSON formatter from working properly. The usual UI elements and formatting are not displayed.

Using Chrome version 117.0.5938.62

Your extension is the most convenient JSON formatter out there, so a fix would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Expected Behavior

JSON Files in browser are formatted and extension UI is displayed.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open JSON feed in browser
2. Top of page shows Chrome pretty print option
3. JSON is not formatted and extension not displayed in browser window

System Info

- OS: Mac OSX Ventura 13.5.2 (22G91)
- Browser: Version 117.0.5938.62

Additional context?

I have submitted it for review, would take a bit time to be published on the Webstore due to review process,

I'll notify you here once its live on webstore,

Once updated you'd see this popup when you open a json file to confirm

By the way, Thanks for Notifying Early ✨, its been a week since chrome 117 released and the uninstalls already increased due to this issue, i wonder how bad it would have been if it was left unnoticed for more time.
