Recently, Google has introduced Chrome Extensions Manifest Version 3. One major change was the consolidation of the Browser Action
and Page Action
popups into one single "Action" popup. This change is reflected throughout most of the APIs.
One feature of Chrome Extensions is to allow the user to press hotkeys from throughout the browser to trigger an event in the extension. These hotkeys are registered in the Extension manifest.json
file. In the past, each command would be named with either a custom name you would listen for in the code, _execute_browser_action
to use this command to open the browser action popup, or _execute_page_action
to use this command to open the page action popup.
I would expect that the two old popup command names would be replaced by one: _execute_action
. However, the specifications, which have been updated for manifest version 3, still shows two command names. Could you please tell me what I should do?
