- moved to service worker for Chrome - polyfill removed as we didn't need it - instead added suggested workaround from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/background#browser_support - manifest set to version 3 All in all this is once more a shitty situation: Chrome now requires Manifest v3 and only supports `service_worker` scripts for that, whereas Firefox doesn't support `service_worker` scripts yet and still depends on `background` scripts. Thankfully Chrome no longer seems to refuse extensions that contain a `background` script, it just ignores it. And Firefox ignores `service_worker`. Safari apparently supports both but prefers `service_worker`. In any case, I've rewritten the background script here to work as both and in both Chrome (`chrome.*`) and other browsers (`browser.*`). In other news, fsck Google, Chrome really is the new Internet Explorer...
Accidentally removed too much when getting rid of the polyfill.
And I'm pretty sure I installed it as such, but apparently not.

Refactoring attempt for Manifest v3 support (and thus compatibility to current Chrome versions).
All in all this is once more a shitty situation: Chrome now requires Manifest v3 and only supports
service_workerscripts for that, whereas Firefox doesn't supportservice_workerscripts yet and still depends onbackgroundscripts. Thankfully Chrome no longer seems to refuse extensions that contain abackgroundscript, it just ignores it. And Firefox ignoresservice_worker. Safari apparently supports both but prefersservice_worker. In any case, I've rewritten the background script here to work as both and in both Chrome (chrome.*) and other browsers (browser.*). In other news, fsck Google, Chrome really is the new Internet Explorer...See #65. I tested this only locally, using an unpacked build, but that worked in both Chrome and Firefox. For easier testing by others I've also (hopefully) added a CI build.
