At the moment, this will not work with MV3. However, we plan to release this functionality in the near future.

The end of life of V2 reaching in a year and google started to slow down reviews of V2 starting this month....

@rushilsrivastava Do you need any help implementing the V3 Support?

[rushilsrivastava]

Hey guys, thanks for being patient. Let me address a couple of things real quick:

The end of life of V2 reaching in a year and google started to slow down reviews of V2 starting this month....

Yup, MV2 end-of-life (no new updates will be allowed to existing MV2 extensions) is slated for January 2023. I predict that Google will probably end up delaying this, but nevertheless definitely pushes the need for V3 support. While I couldn't find any announcement for slow release of V2 extensions (anecdotally, all our reviews have been approved within 24-hours), as of January 2022, no new extensions with MV2 will be allowed. All this information can be found on Google's Support Page.

@rushilsrivastava Do you need any help implementing the V3 Support?

Here's my roadmap:

• Publish new version v1.1.9 with latest bug fixes for Firefox and listeners. This will probably be the last release for 1.x granted there are no new bugs.
• Start a new 2.x branch to start working on Manifest V3 changes. Once this is stable, this will become master.

As far as I know, there shouldn't be much work to get this to work in V3 other than reworking how background listeners work. I have no specific timeline to when I will be able to start work on V3, but if others are able to contribute PRs, I can commit to reviewing them and accelerating the roadmap accordingly.

There seems to be a fix for it already, maybe you can use this https://github.com/rubenspgcavalcante/webpack-extension-reloader/pull/139/files @rushilsrivastava?

It's described more here: rubenspgcavalcante/webpack-extension-reloader#125

Hey guys, I just submitted a PR to fix this issue. My setup is MacOS Chrome + MV3. Both the extension and background page are working fine with this PR, leaving the content script untested. Feel free to use my fork before the PR merged.
