We have made a number of foundational changes to ensure **the project stays alive, works on latest browser versions, and is easy to contribute to**: -* Completed the Manifest V2 → Manifest V3 transition, which is required to submit a new extension to the Chrome webstore. It will also be long-term required for usage of the extension, as [Manifest V2 extensions will start being disabled as early as June 2024](https://developer.chrome.com/blog/resuming-the-transition-to-mv3/). -* Switched to using ECMAScript modules and npm-sourced dependencies to make for a more modern coding and packaging experience. -* Implemented an end-to-end CI/CD pipeline to make it easy to rapidly iterate and deploy new versions. -* Switched to standard testing frameworks, vitest and playwright, to make it easier to develop more comprehensive tests, and detect regressions. + +- Completed the Manifest V2 → Manifest V3 transition, which is required to submit a new extension to the Chrome webstore.

(_-tan_ is an honorific used for anthropomorphic moe characters.) While we've made some substantial changes, the majority of the extension's functionality is thanks to hard work of foosoft and numerous other open source contributors from 2016-2023.
