[Discussion]: Should I fix ` unrecognized manifest key` in this project?

See original GitHub issue

Many people in the community are currently experiencing the following error:

(node:22308) ExtensionLoadWarning: Warnings loading extension at xxx:
  Unrecognized manifest key 'browser_action'.
  Unrecognized manifest key 'minimum_chrome_version'.
  Unrecognized manifest key 'short_name'.
  Unrecognized manifest key 'update_url'.
  Permission 'activeTab' is unknown or URL pattern is malformed.
  Cannot load extension with file or directory name _metadata. Filenames starting with "_" are reserved for use by the system.

The reason for this error is due to the combination of chromium and electron

I have submitted a PR for the fix to electron and it has been merged as well, see: https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/29695

However, it is not clear which version of this PR will be carried. electron@v16.x

As a project affected by this issue do much, should we fix it temporarily in the project?

just like this: https://github.com/MarshallOfSound/electron-devtools-installer/pull/177

I would like to know what is the reason why you have not made any comments about https://github.com/MarshallOfSound/electron-devtools-installer/pull/177 and this issue so far? Because 267 days have passed since I brought this up and you have not made any comments. Although the project is personal to you and open source itself represents freedom. Wouldn’t it be more polite if you could respond to comments?

I’m not moral coercion, I just have some questions about your long period of non-response.

We’re stuck on an older version of Electron for the time being, so I agree with @agentschmitt

I would like to see this merged still: https://github.com/MarshallOfSound/electron-devtools-installer/pull/177
