The bundled manifest is version 2, but the published manifest on the Chrome Web Store is version 3 with the additional 'scripting' permission. This mismatch may indicate that the extension has been updated in the store but the analyzed source code is from an older version, or the publisher has deployed a manifest v3 update without updating the bundled code. The missing 'scripting' permission in the bundled version could affect functionality, and the outdated manifest version may lack modern security controls (e.g., service workers, limited host permissions).
