Wide permissions request in Chrome #53

Closed jeromebaum closed 1 year ago

jeromebaum commented 1 year ago

I got the following notification in my Chrome:

Clickbait Remover for Youtube is disabled

To re-enable it, accept the new permissions:

  • Block content on any page

Do you know what's happening here?

I checked manifest.json in the master branch and don't see a reason why this would be happening. That said I am not too familiar with extension development. Seems like it might be related to manifest v3.

Hey,

Kind of messed up on my part. I had to re-write most of the extension to support the new manifest v3 before the end of the year. With that Google changed how the permissions work, mainly for intercepting and redirecting network requests.

I didn’t really pay the closest attention to the new permissions, so I gave the extension more than I should have. Namely declarativeNetRequest was not needed. I’ve now corrected the mistake and published a new version (0.7.1) with that permission removed, which should be live as soon as its approved. The extension seems to work fine without it.

Wow that was quick. Seems to work fine on my end as well. Thanks!
