chrome 109.0.5407.1 can not use v6.0.1

[tcc-123]

Hello!
I am using Windows 7, and the Chrome version is 109.0.5407.1. It can be used in 5.7.x (it seems to be this or 5.x.7), but now when I update to 6.0.1, it prompts that the background script is unavailable.
How can I solve it to make it available again? Thank you for your answer.

I found a similar problem in issues, but the solution said that it had already been adjusted. I checked and my version is indeed the latest 6.0.1, which confuses me.

I downloaded version v5.0.7 and it works fine again.
I'll record it here, if other win7 can't be used, you can replace it with this version.

Could you install 6.0.1 and screenshot an error in console of service worker please (the same window where you run command above).

@tcc-123 there is no visible an error message

[tcc-123]

[tcc-123]

Oh, is this it?
And this is on the settings page

[vitonsky]

@tcc-123 we need the first error, before you insert and execute the code.

Example of such error is:

It is important to figure out why extension fails initially.

We need next actions to debug the problem

• restart extension (disable and enable it back)
• open service worker console and just take screenshot it. Ensure the first error is visible
• run next commands one by one on this console:
  • chrome.offscreen
  • chrome.offscreen.createDocument
  • chrome.offscreen.Reason
• take one more screenshot

Your screenshot should looks like that (it's my result, your probably will have another error):

@tcc-123 okay, it means Chrome 109 does not support an offscreen API, so we can't run custom translators and Bergamot translator.

It is bad news, a chrome force developers to use ManifestV3, but their browser that released 1.5 years ago even does not support offscreen API.

I will think how to make Linguist works for your use case, maybe we may disable custom translators feature for legacy chrome version, but it may takes time to hack it. For now you may use https://github.com/translate-tools/linguist/releases/tag/v5.0.17 that should work fine on your chrome.

Thank you for report. It is important to know how Linguist works on different Chrome browser versions

Ok, thank you very much.
This is a great plugin
