Drop support for outdated browser versions for Manifest v3

Background / User story

Before we can release a Manifest v3 version of Adblock Plus (see eyeo/adblockplus/abpui&7 (closed)), we need to make sure that we drop support of our Manifest v3 version for browser versions that don't fully support Manifest v3 yet.

What to change

  • Design: N/A
  • Research: Manifest v3 support timeline
  • Spec: N/A
  • Legal: N/A
  • Development:
    • Update minimum supported browser versions for Manifest v3 extension to:
      • Chrome 100
      • Firefox N/A
      • Microsoft Edge 100
      • Opera 86

Hints for testers

  • Verify that the minimum supported browser versions for Manifest V3 align with the ones mentioned above and that remain unchanged for Manifest V2.
  • Verify that the i18n strings are shown accordingly in the UI for the Manifest V3. No need to verify the content, only that they are shown.
