Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DevLARLEY/WidevineProxy2/issues/23

since edge is based on chromium I assumed the extension would work with it, but when importing the extension into edge I get the following error message:

'background.scripts' requires manifest version of 2 or lower.

I saw a similar issue with the kiwi browser here https://github.com/DevLARLEY/WidevineProxy2/issues/5 and tried the solution of removing "scripts": ["background.js"] from manifest.json but that results in another error when trying to get a key:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Identifier 'fnproxy' has already been declared

Yes, errors when importing the extension are expected but they should not stop it from working.
Verified on Microsoft Edge Version 133.0.3065.69 (Official build) (64-bit) with Microsoft WIndows 11 Pro 10.0.22631 Build 22631
