Manifest Version 2 gets deprecated

Open gamebeaker opened this issue 2 years ago • 10 comments

Hi Manifest Version 2 is "soon" end of life on chrome. https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/mv2-sunset/ To prevent issues it should be updated to version 3.

@gamebeaker I'm aware of this. The problem is, Firefox currently only support Manifest v3 in the dev builds, when the user explicitly turns it on. I haven't quite figured out how to support both.

@dteviot Ok thanks for the answer.

Reopen, hopefully will stop people asking about this again.

@gamebeaker The Chrome test build should now be using Manifest v3, if you want to give it a test drive. Firefox should still be using v2.

Hi thanks, as info google has pushed back the end of live date to june 2023 (before you were unable to update your extension on january 2023).

I think you can close this. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/manifest_version

@gamebeaker I still need to change build to make Firefox with version 3.

Manifest v3 on Firefox is a pain. Need to explicitly request "Access your data for all websites" from user. And without this WebToEpub doesn't work well. Refer to below for notes on work required. For time being, staying with v2. Note, did manage to get Firefox to run with v3 manifest. Have committed those changes to a branch.

For my notes: 83 minutes work
