Chrome compatibility (Manifest V3)

[axellorreyne]

At this point, the extension uses Manifest V2 and is only Firefox compatible.

To make it compatible with Chrome/Chromium, it should be adapted to Manifest V3.

This adaptation includes but is not limited to:

• Using a modular service worker instead of a background script
• Swapping the blocking webrequest listener that adds the headers to a declarativeNetRequest

One could still run a Manifest V2 extensions in Chrome but the Chrome Web Store no longer accepts these. If one would want to make this V2 version compatible with chrome, "extraHeaders" should be added to the extraInfoSpec array at

solid-authentication-browser-extension/src/js/background.js

["blocking", "requestHeaders"]

when a chrome client is detected.
