An urgent priority task. Drop everything and work on this!
In MV3, an 'extension service worker' replaces 'background scripts' from MV2. Both are currently referred to as 'background scripts. As a consequence, developers (specifically those on StackOverflow) can be discussing different things and not realize it because both are called 'background scripts'.
To provide clarity, the strings '
background.js
' and 'background script' will be replaced with 'service-worker.js
' and 'extension service worker' respectively.This has these subtasks:
background.js
' with 'service-worker.js
' in all MV3 documents.Old
