How can we modify this for people not using webpack or node?

[benlieb]

I'm using esbuild, and requiring the node process seems unnecessary.

I piggy-backed on your utils files and am using this

const manifest = chrome.runtime.getManifest()

// When you load an extension directly from a local directory(unpacked), the manifest 
// file doesn't have a valid update_url as it's not meant to be updated through the store.
// use this as a proxy to determine if the extension is in development mode
export const isDev = !!!manifest.update_url
