May I ask what would be the benefit of doing this migration work? (JS newbie here :)

The benefit of this is to ship one less library.

i.e.:

- extension will be lighter (in bytes)

- extension will be faster: because this code does not need to be injected in the user’s browser and we would rely on browser built-in JS
- we don’t have to update the library in the extension regularly: less maintenance work for us

I think there is clearly a benefit and it would require ~1 hour of work to make that happen.
