Hi Team,

It seems the recent additional of local network access permission can impact the extension. I've encountered this in Chrome 142 and while i was unable to make the extension prompt for access - I could mainly set it to allow to restore connection.

More info for chrome / firefox changes here:

I assume you just need to add support for the "ask" request so users are at-least prompted?

Interesting, thanks for the heads up. Looks like that hasn't landed in Firefox yet.

I couldn't find any info how browser extensions are treated here though. If anybody has any insights, please share.
