Bump the minimum supported Chrome version to 128 (#2786) A bug in the chrome.declarativeNetRequest API[1] meant that extensions could block requests initiated by other extensions. This cross-extension request blocking wasn't supposed to be possible[2], and led to lots of issues for users with multiple browser extensions installed (for example, see this Privacy Badger bug report[3]). These cross-extension requests weren't associated with a tabId, and so could not be differentiated from other such requests - including ServiceWorker initiated requests. As a workaround, to avoid breaking the other extensions our users might have installed, we stopped blocking any requests with no associated tabId. Since then, we have fixed the bug in Chrome[4], and that fix was release with Chrome 128. So let's increase the minimum supported Chrome version to 128, so that we can re-enable ServiceWorker initiated request blocking in the future. 1 - https://crbug.com/40896400 2 - https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/369 3 - https://github.com/EFForg/privacybadger/issues/2968 4 - https://chromiumdash.appspot.com/commit/486d638e6977dad73bd207dc914df9319afac152

Add support for the "toggle reports" feature (#2731) When the user clicks to disable protections for a website, the "toggle reports" feature prompts them to also send a website breakage report to us. This helps increase the number of user reports we receive for website breakage issues, in turn helping us fix or mitigate them. The feature also takes care to not prompt the user too often, at the time of writing only prompting one to three times (depending on the user's response) every 48 hours.
