This extension may soon no longer be supported in Chrome

Chrome is phasing out support for Manifest V2 extensions. In order to continue working in Chrome this extension will need to migrate to Manifest V3: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate

Hope never dies but the latest update dates back to January 9, 2022. Sadly, I think it's time to consider this project abandoned.

There's a Draft PR started back earlier in this year on the v4 branch (#86) that appears to be an attempt to fix the issue @badsgahhl is there anything the user community can do to help get that over the finish line?

I hope I find the time to look into it the upcoming weeks.

Hi @badsgahhl and thanks! PiHole Browser Extension is very useful and well done.

yes very useful

just wondering if there is any update on this as 2024 is closing.

As mentioned, I really don't use PiHole on my own anymore and therefore I reprioritize this project further low in my daily schedule. I started with the V4 Implementation but still needs fine-tuning. Mostly Manifest V3 ist breaking a lot of stuff. Really have no time when this is going to be released, sorry to say.

@badsgahhl Are you open to contributions to the extension? Since I actively use PiHole, I wouldn't mind daily driving the V4 implementation that's WIP and opening a PR to fix whatever breaks.

[t1m0thyj]

Since the V4 branch has a lot of WIP refactoring, I've forked master branch instead and migrated it to use Manifest V3: master...t1m0thyj:pihole-browser-extension:master

With the changes I've made basic functionality is working. I'll keep testing my branch and see if I hit issues. All behavior should be same as original, except the check status interval changed from 15 to 30 seconds due to limitations of the chrome.alarms API.

Will look into that!
