After nearly four years, TGD is back, and fully up to date. Version 1.0.0 brings the long-awaited migration to Manifest V3, ensuring the extension keeps working as Google phases out Manifest V2 support on the Chrome Web Store.

What's changed​

Manifest V3 migration​

The entire extension has been updated to comply with Chrome's Manifest V3 platform. This was the primary, and almost sole, focus of this release: keeping TGD alive and functional as Google enforces the new extension standards across the Web Store.

Huge thanks to Mike Frysinger (@vapier) for doing all the hard work on the migration.
