Beta 0.23.0

Chrome release

With this release, FoxyRecon finally lands on Google Chrome!

The release of this version didn't come easily. Significant changes were required to migrate to Manifest Version 3, as Chrome no longer supports Version 2 (https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate/mv2-deprecation-timeline).

I decided to keep manifest version 2 for Firefox. With this release, the repository will have the following structure:

• main – this branch contains the latest stable version for Firefox
  • develop – this branch contains the latest changes, currently under development for Firefox
    • chrome – this branch contains the Chrome version code
      • chrome-dev – this branch contains the latest changes, currently under development for Chrome

Below are the most important changes introduced with this version.

Migration to storage API

Manifest V3 does not support the localStorage API. Therefore, a conversion to the storage.local API was necessary to handle the data saved locally by the extension. During the update to this version, the migration will occur automatically and be completely transparent for Firefox users.

These migration activities also allowed for improvements in the organization and use of local storage.

Load JSON files using fetch

Now, the fetch function is used instead of XMLHttpRequest to load local JSON files.
