Chrome says "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions. (Learn more)"

Needs an update soon, I would assume?

i guess there's still the option to manually re-enable it then... but yeah, this has been coming for quite some time and i guess i should tend to migrating it to v3 at some point. last i checked, this is not a trivial task, so it'll take some resources. i'll update this issue once i'm done

You could also assist with migrating instead of asking for an update. There are tons of browsers (other than Chrome!) that support manifest v2. I tried to do the migration myself on a fork but it's much more daunting than you'd expect. They really do not want us loading multiple scripts simultaneously. This may mean the addon needs to become more modular.

This would take more time and could require a re-write of several areas unless v3 becomes more lax.
