Extension currently broken on Vivaldi Windows (almost certainly a "me" problem)

Vivaldi is a Chrome-based browser that can install extensions from the Chrome Store. Previously (a week ago?) L1Chess Tools was working well. Now something odd is going on:

  • the Lichess Tools toggle in the profile menu is gone
  • the move list is gone on the analysis board page
    This is what I've noticed so far; there may well be other issues.

Things I haven't tried yet:

  1. Clear the browser cache
  2. Disable all extensions except LiChess Tools

I'll update when I have a chance to try the above. This is mostly a head's up just in case it's not just a "me" problem.
The extension still works flawlessly in Firefox on both Windows and Android.

Aggressively clearing the browser cache has fixed the issue.

@hannibal66 , the Chromium extension update system has an occasional bug. I've got several people that had random issues after the auto-update. The simplest way to solve the problem is to reinstall LiChess Tools (the preferences are saved in the Lichess context, so you won't lose anything - even so, I recommend backing up your LiChess Tools Preferences from the Backup button). Sometimes, though, there is a corruption of the user profile - if you use this in Chrome, which is a more complicated thing to fix.

I have no fix for you, as this is not something related to the code of the extension, but the update process. Why other extensions don't suffer the same issue, I have no idea, though... I have been publishing a lot of updates, that is for sure.
