Extension summary

Note: this extension is only for browser extension developers.

When users install your extension, some permissions cause a warning to the user. And the extension will be temporarily disabled when upgrading if you add a new warning permission.

This tool provides functionality to check and compare warning permissions. Just copy and paste your extension manifest to the input box.

Helped me find a bug in my extension when i tried to migrate from mv2 to mv3, contentSettings was causing the extension to become disabled following an update, this diff tool helped me find why the extension kept disabling on migration.

Didn't understand the purpose of the second frame. What does pink, what does green frame mean? Frames have no titles, no placeholders and no explanation for them in "Help" -- so, I didn't understand and just used one of them to validate my manifest.json. Warning message was correct, so the app technically works. UX I wished to be improved.
