6. Browse to and select the directory where you unzipped the extension release.

Than i got this Error:

Error loading the extension
File

Error
Manifest file is missing or unreadable
Manifest could not be loaded.

Here's a possible solution to reducing the scope of the manifest.json file for the Thingiverse Downloader. My approach was to develop a helper HTML and JS file to check for the dark mode theme being enabled/disabled. It then forwards that as a runtime message to the background service worker and that will then adjust the constant/icon.

Let me know what you think about this approach, but hoping it helps (used to TypeScript mostly these days, so was trying to solve this without introducing more packages/dependencies).

Hi,

Great extension and idea. I've been pretty bummed with Thingiverse continuing to deteriorate their platform, so I'm a huge fan of this idea!

Looking at the content script injection approach, the permissions are a little over-scoped IMO given the intention of this extension (it wants access to any and all websites).

Would it be possible to modify the content script matching to https://*thingiverse.com/* and/or https://www.thingiverse.com/*. This will restrict the extension to only injecting the content script into Thingiverse webpages. In the current approach, I believe this is injecting the JS into every single webpage you are visiting.

More on this here https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/content_scripts/#static-declarative.

Happy to make a pull request if you're open to that also.

As the title says, it would be useful if the extension allowed you to also download .scad, .f3d, .3mf and other common formats that people might have uploaded.
