@mneunomne pls check this asap

mneunomne commented 2 months ago

Seems to be a Linux specific problem. weird because we do have "default_locale" on our manifest file. Monday I will get my hands on a Linux then I can test it.

Hey, I am running into the same issue on Chrome + windows; so not linux specific it seems :/ Did you find a fix ?

russelld58 commented 2 months ago

not yet, though works nicely in Firefox ;-)

rexd-lgtm commented 2 months ago

Yes it works like a charm on firefox indeed ! I tried redownloading it + reloading it into Chrome and it worked without the "manifest" error ! So it does seem to work on chrome as well, just a bit finicky

It works on the following for me

fedora linux + brave windows 11 + brave
