Manifest version 2 to be deprecated for chrome in sometime after June 2024 #1316

Closed TarikGul closed 1 day ago

Currently the manifest version is using v2, this is problematic since v2 will be deprecated come some time after June 2024 for the stable versions of Chrome. This can be seen here: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate/mv2-deprecation-timeline

This entails a few things:

  1. We need to migrate to v3 for the manifest version.
  2. Updates to the store will need to be made.

Linking https://github.com/polkadot-js/extension/issues/310 which was more or less the same. The discussions there may be of interest

Picking up this issue now that it is becoming urgent to update and transition the extension to a new store version.
