Hello, thank you very much for this great magnificent extension which which makes our lifes more comfortable ! 💯 🥇

Please i have request: I sometimes use chromium and chromium-based web browsers, it will be great to add the wonderful awesome Copy-selected-tabs-to-clipboard in the chrome store or add a crx extension in the github page of the extension to manually add this exceptional extension to the ungoogled chromium browser for example, in addition it will be great to add the ability to automatically copy the selected text inside the press articles into the clipboard as plain text because I do academic research and I I often copy extracts and paragraphs from different websites and online books and I need to do these copy and paste operations quickly, thank you very much !

Sorry I have less motivation about Chrome/Chromium support because I don't use them regularly.

PR for multi browsers support is welcome. You'll need to migrate this to Manifest V3 at first to support Chromium.

Sorry again, I have no idea to add any extra feature far from the addon name "Copy Selected Tabs to Clipboard". I design my addons as feature specific and simple, because adding more and more features different from the initial concept will bloat the codebase and shorten the lifetime of this project.

We understand, there is no problem, you have absolutely right to keep the extension as simple as possible 👍 Thank you again for this wonderul extension :)

Ahh just to say about chromium browsers, It seems that recently, Firefox has added an option to import user data from chrome browser which allows to transfer the extensions installed in chrome to firefox because Firefox has become compatible with chrome store ans firefox can directly use Chrome store extensions addons....

The future of the Manifest V2 is unclear on Firefox (it has already dead on Chrome/Chromium.) Mozilla announced that currently no clear plan to deprecate Manifest V2, but I'm afraid of complete death of Manifest V2 due to its maintenance cost, on future versions Firefox. So I think we should migrate our addons to Manifest V3 as possible as we can, whether supporting Chromium or don't.

This project looks easier to migrate to Manifest V2 than other heavily depending on persistent background process like Tree Style Tab, so this can be a good first step to Manifest V3 migration for me - the priority is still low but in the project scope. Pull requests to accelerate the migration will make tasks to support Chromium will be more implementable.
