Memex Extension 3.18.5-3.18.12: Mostly MV3 related fixes

As noted a few weeks ago we had to do the switch to finally fully support MV3, and as expected there were a few issues cropping up that we were mostly focused on fixing up in those, with some great performance improvements in the process, and reducing the overall memory footprint!

Product Fixes

  • Fix summary button on Youtube not adding the prompt to the chat every now and then

  • Fix bug where an old image upload implementation caused the sync to block for some users with older data.

  • Fix youtube removing video with rare combo of in-video shopping and memex UI having a blurred background (weird!)

  • Fix email invites not being able to be accepted by recipient

MV3 Related Fixes

  • Move from RPC calls to messages (that was a big one with a few iterations)

  • Greatly reduce startup time of service workers, leading back to pre-MV3 reaction times when saving/annotating

  • Fix bug where multiple dashboards open would cause the browser to freeze bc of a circular message sending between the dashboards

  • Fix bug that would cause the in-page UI to be injected multiple times
