Major rewrite to support Google's Manifest V3 requirements
Google started a project to change how browser extensions work in their browser. This project, often referred to as Manifest V3 (referencing the version number used in the file that describes an extension), required major rethinking and reimplementation of portions of the Library Extension. Users may already have noticed warnings in Google's Chrome indicating the many extensions are "not following best practices" and may soon be discontinued. Those messages are related to this mandated effort by Google. These changes took longer than originally hoped, in part due to the complexity of maintaining support for other browsers (such as Firefox). *** Note - this version replaces both 2024.803.1 and 2024.806.1 which included bugs related to the Manifest V3 migration. These bugs should now be resolved, and going forward, user configuration should not be lost. Apologies for the earlier releases and for the problems that were caused.
