I care deeply about how links look like.

This is ugly:
chrome-extension://jnejifelmoaaoghdgaoikmblgcbmgcdn/app.html#/aaa/bbb/ccc

Suggestion:
chrome-extension://[extension name]/app.html#/aaa/bbb/ccc

My local Vue app with a lot of routes would look better and easier to navigate.
It would be so good if I could get rid of .html extension too, but I know that's probably not possible. Anyways, if there are maybe multiple extensions with the same name, just add a number or a version, but that's really rare. 

Thanks! Chris

Maybe even better solution: use the already existing " short_name  " property from extension manifest as a path, if available.
