Manifest v3

[Manvel]

Background

In order to keep CBA functioning, it needs to be converted to MV3.

What to change

• Follow migration document.

Challenge

The biggest problem is that MV3 doesn't yet support User Scripts, below are threads to follow:

• https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/279
• https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/pull/331
• https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1429408&q=userscript&can=2

Threads to follow

• https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-extensions/c/bdnjlMNzQqA/m/LpNChrueAAAJ

TODO before migration

• Test MV2->MV3 switch with old funtions and the migration introduced by https://github.com/browser-automation/cba/pull/140
• https://github.com/browser-automation/cba-website/issues/64

[Manvel]

Currently it doesn't look like that new userScripts can help us with inject and cs-inject actions, currently it uses userScripts.register in order to load script to the pages matching the pattern, what we are looking for is a one time execution, something similar to scripting.executeScript, but with the possibility of specifying custom user code.

There is a Execute user scripts one time proposal, which in case implemented, may help here.

• Proposal: userScripts.execute() method
• Proposal: Re-evaluate userScript and userStyle API
