It had been awhile since I worked on an extension and I thought AI could help me get back up to speed quickly. Then ChatGPT wasted hours and hours of my life. Hopefully this will save us both time.
The internet doesn’t seem like it has a found a good solution for hot reloading during development since manifest v3 was enforced.

Thanks, Google.
For now, we must manually reload the extension after every change.
