Extension problem in new Google Chrome v127 #118

Hi there, I've got an important message from Google Chrome when I upgraded to version 127. it says: This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions. Are you aware about this isuue and are you going to fix it ASAP? Thanks in advance

I have made this location-guard-ng: https://github.com/SukkaW/location-guard-ng

This is a rewritten version of Location Guard and it is now a userscript (that you can install with Tampermonkey/Violentmonkey). Currently, only the per domain level feature is missing.

Are there plans to bring a "lite" Extension version after Google enforces the extension changes? Sadly the fixed location per domain setting is my main use case 🥲

IMHO MV3 doesn't really affect the extensions' feature. This extension only injects a script that overrides navigation.geolocation, and MV3 still allows that. The only thing the extension needs to do is to migrate its manifest, that's it.

It is just the extension is no longer maintained anymore. And since I have no way to contact the maintainers and I want to spoof location on my Android devices (using AdGuard), hence my userscript project.
