Thank you for the info and I am investigating the V3 transition as seen in the official doc: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/mv3-migration/

I might also need to see if new restrictive APIs can be used to fulfill the purpose of this extension ...

Btw I forgot to pinpoint that the main manifest.json file is only for Firefox and the other manifest_chrome.json is provided for Chrome (this is explained in the dedicated wiki page when you want to package for Chrome)

The manifest V2 deprecation is post-poned by Google.
