The code is TypeScript, with the UI panels built on Vue.

Greasemonkey and AdGuard won't run it, and Safari or reskinned browsers aren't guaranteed.

But every component or plugin has full access to your data, so third-party ones are at your own risk.

It imports your old settings and automatically downloads and installs the v2 components matching what you had enabled.
