can't open tree popup with chrome 124.0.6367.201

TabFern was working with 123.0.x but I accidentally upgraded to 124.0. and now clicking on the tab fern icon does not bring up the window tree. Right click shows "Can't read or change site's data". It still has the 'Read your browsing history' permission.

I'm still trying to find a 123.0.x chrome package to revert to.

Also, I don't seem to be able to build tabfern anymore. npm looks for python3 when building node-gyp v3.8.0 and then fails trying to run "import sys; print "%s.%s.%s" % sys.version_info[:3];" which fails. Not sure which of the deps is depending on node-gyp.

I reverted to 123.0 and TabFern still isn't allowed to view my history. I guess 124.0 restricted the 'read your browsing history' permission to chrome://favicon/* & file:///* and that setting is still present when I switched back to the previous version.

Sorry you're having trouble!! What OS type and version? I'll try to repro if I can.

Re. building, do you have Python 3 installed but npm can't find it, or is Python not installed at all? Edit and could you post your console log showing the commands you ran and the output you got that included the error?

I unfortunately can't repro on main on my home system --- it loads fine for me there (Ubuntu x86_64 with Chromium 124.0.6367.155 (Official Build) snap (64-bit)).

Re. building, I just pushed the results of npm update to main.

By the way, if you haven't, would you please try double-clicking the tabfern icon? If your TF window somehow wound up off-screen, double-clicking will summon it to the current window.

can't read or change site data

I don't think this is probably the cause of the issue. The manifest specifically asks for some host permissions but not all (since it doesn't need all), and that message appears on sites not listed in the host permissions.
