URGENT: Manifest v3

[Malix-Labs]

Urgent

The extension will soon be unusable on Chromium due to the deprecation of Manifest v2

It needs to make the transition to Manifest v3

I have a draft at #298, but Firefox doesn't support offscreen permission yet which is needed to play audio as part of manifest v3.

@notlmn thanks for the notice!

Can you link that issue to the pull request please?

Firefox still supports manifest v2 and seems to have no plan to drop it. So keeping the version unchanged in the Firefox add-on store is ok.

Very nice !

The biggest threat is that the extension will be automatically force uninstalled when chrome will drop manifest v2 support, so a manifest v3 has to be published before that to not drop a huge proportion of its userbase

FWIW, I've seen many extension developers have separate build configs for chrome and ff. I recently upgraded an extension to mv3 while leaving firefox as v2. Here's my manifest generation file: https://github.com/subdavis/Tusk/blob/main/scripts/manifest.ts
