Release notes for 1.0.3
Version 1.0.3 adds UI to let the user know what their permissions status is and if permissions are not accepted, there is a button that will prompt them. These permissions are required for the extension to work.
Developer Note: Users should be prompted on extension install to accept these permissions, but it seems the new manifest v3 does not do this prompt on install, therefore requiring users to manually accept these permissions after install. The UI makes this process much simpler for the user.
