Replacing webRequest with declarativeNetRequest API manifest v3

[Sangeetha Panneerselvam]

The below is the highlevel code structure for chrome extension development I am working on. For some functions, I have mentioned the function name alone, instead full code, as it huge code with more than 1500 lines of code.

But this where webRequest API involves, where I need to replace declarativeNetRequest API. I don't see anywhere declarativeNetRequest will be useful for involving this complex code with so many function blocks nested in.

Anyone please provide the suggestion on manifest migration to v3 in case of webRequest and webRequest blocking. 

Note: ExtensionInstallForcelist cannot be used for my extension.

function fnBlockC() {

  chrome.webRequest.onCompleted.addListener(

    function (details) {

       // some code here

          fnBlockE()

          fnBlockF()

})

}

fnBlockD()

fnBlockG()

fnBlockH()

fnBlockA()

fnCallback

fnBlockB()

fnCallback

fnCallback

fnBlockE()

fnBlockF()

function   fnBlockA() {

  chrome.webRequest.onBeforeRequest.addListener(

      fnCallback,

    {

      urls: ["<all_urls>"],

    },

    ["blocking"]

  );

}

function  fnBlockB() {

  chrome.webRequest.onBeforeRequest.removeListener(

      fnCallback,

    {

      urls: ["<all_urls>"],

    },

    ["blocking"]

  );

}

This is a very inefficient and redundant method of building web request functions. 90% of this code could have been shortened down programmatically, but now there is no way for you to conveniently migrate the code over due to it being built, I hate to say badly to begin with. 

Your own really option is to build the code from scratch - I advise you to read the documentation for declarativeNetRequest seriously and this time build it in an optimised fashion.

Thanks,
