Building from Source

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

Due to unreliable Manifest v3 feature support in Firefox, we maintain both MV2 and MV3 versions of HyperChat in parallel. The MV2 variant sits in the master branch, while the MV3 variant sits on the mv3 branch. When contributing, please ensure that you check out to the master branch to implement the features in MV2 first. Once the feature is stable, please open a separate PR to the mv3 branch to port the feature to MV3.
