Support for Manifest V3 about web-scraper-chrome-extension

[stvhanna]

@Yatskov Any plans to make this extension compatible with Manifest v3 since the current release and manual build from master are v2 and cannot be installed on Chrome?

Hi!
We do plan to eventually move to manifest v3, however, due to the fact that the dates for the end of support for manifest v2 have been postponed, this task is not a priority for us now.

The current version of the extension with manifest v2 can be installed in developer mode. I tested the 0.4.8 release on Chrome 111.0.5563.65 and Edge 110.0.1587.69 on Windows 11. Did you follow the installation instructions? Are there any errors displayed on the chrome://extensions page?

Installation in Chrome results in the following error regarding Manifest version 2:
Unrecognized manifest key 'browser_specific_settings'. Line 61 - 67
"browser_specific_settings": {
"gecko": {
"id": "[email protected]",
"strict_min_version": "66.0"
}
},
Manifest version 2 is deprecated, and support will be removed in 2024. See https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate/mv2-deprecation-timeline for details.

An extension manifest converter is available at:

Any time frame for completing the conversion?
