SimpleExtManager 2025.4.2 (Beta)

A minor update.

Fixed feedback link that was pointing to the wrong page.

Updated the keyboard shortcuts assignment steps.

SimpleExtManager 2025.4.1 (Beta)

Finally published the MV3 version of SEM!
Put out as a separate entry for everyone to test as beta first.
If theres no problems reported for a period of time I'll update it to the main entry.

But for the new MV3 build, it will be a fresh start.
As in it will not carry over settings from the old MV2 build.
This is because the MV3 code cannot access the old MV2 storage API anymore.

Some changes and quirks.
Moved out the changelog to the web.
Pinned icon should be visible in dark mode.
For white icon select the 'dark' theme in Options.
Simplified the version number too [year.month.build of month]

Now up at the link below:

Manifest V3 progress

 A quick update.

Currently SimpleExtManager has the most progress in the Manifest V3 update.
Perhaps I can release within the year? Hope.

But I urge all SEM users to backup your extension groups as the transition to the new update may not be smooth. Backup to file, screenshot group details etc.

Will post again when I have further updates.

Manifest V3...

So its finally coming.

I have been working on it on and off.
The new coding style required is extremely unintuitive so progress is very slow.

Working on SimpleExtManager.
Not ready yet, can't say when I will put it out.
Will announce on this blog when ready.
