v0.1.0-beta

This is a pre-release of the chromium-based SCION browser extension. Please note that, this pre-realease uses Manifest V2 for the extension. We are aware that V2 is getting deprecated in Chrome. However, the SCION-strict navigation would likely be impacted if we migrate to Manifest V3. Other chromium-based browsers, like Brave, are demonstrating some resistance to the Manifest V3 migration and still support V2 by default. On Chrome, one can also temporarily allow Manifest V2 https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/#ExtensionManifestV2Availability.

The documentation can be found here: https://scion-browser-extension.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

The browser extension must be used together with the HTTP Forward Proxy
