Description:
After updating to Chrome 133.0.6943.60 (Feb 6, 2025), the Marinara Pomodoro extension no longer displays a pop-up when a Pomodoro cycle ends.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Start a Pomodoro timer.
  2. Wait for it to complete.
  3. No pop-up appears.

Expected Behavior:
A separate popup (window) should notify users at cycle completion.

Actual Behavior:
No pop-up appears, causing missed notifications.

Proposed Solutions:

  • Use chrome.windows.create() to explicitly open a pop-up.
  • Or implement a Native Messaging Host to trigger OS-level notifications.
  • Double-check the manifest file for necessary permissions and ensure background scripts are correctly configured under Manifest V3.

System Info:
Extension Version: 34 from January 20, 2021 (last version in Chrome Store)
Chrome Version: 133.0.6943.60
OS: Windows 10/11 (10.0.26100.3194, 10.0.19045.5371)
