Description

Update to various details as a consequence of migrating notify-link-clicks-i18n to MV3. Changes include:

  • update of all references to extension.getURL to runtime.getURL. It was noted during the migration that extension.getURL is not a function available to Manifest V3 extensions.
image - update of all references to `extension.getBackgroundPage` to `runtime.getBackgroundPage`. During the investigation into `extension.getURL` it was noted that the [Manifest V3 migration guide](https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/manifest-v3-migration-guide/#developer-preview-changes) (under Event-driven background scripts) includes a step to update this API. - as advice was provided (by @mixedpuppy) that support for deprecated APIs was removed from Manifest V3 the documentation was checked for other references to deprecated `extension` methods. None were found, however, the description of `runtime.lastError` as an alias of `extension.lastError` was reversed.
