Can I install the Intercom Messenger within a Chrome extension?

Inside a Chrome extension, installing the Intercom Messenger script will not work out of the box, mainly because of thecontent security policy.This kind of installation requires re-formatting those options for thecontent_security_policysection of the Google Chrome extensionmanifest.Here is a small tool to convert them easily:var s = ` i _can_t_show_you_because_it_contins_more_than_2_links_and_i_am_not_allowed_to_have_them but copy it from the abose csp help page'`;var o={};var last=null;s.split("\n").forEach(l => { var m; if(m=l.match(/^\ +(.*)$/)) { o[last].push(m[1]) }else if(m=l.match(/^(.*)\:$/)){ last = m[1]; o[last] = []; } });s='';Object.keys(o).forEach(key => { s+= `${key} ${o[key].join(' ')};`})console.log(s);Eventually, this will output something like: onnect-src i_can_t_show_you_because_it_contins_more_than_2_links_and_i_am_not_allowed_to_have_them;This is a good start for the manifest but it will need some additions, mainly related to adding the defaults of your domain or ‘self’ as well as the policies forobject-src ‘self’ your_domain_mask;The final one, for a development environment, looks like this:"content_security_policy": "object-src 'self' i _can_t_show_you_because_it_contins_more_than_2_links_and_i_am_not_allowed_to_have_them"Finally, the Intercom Messenger pops up in a window loaded from the chrome-extension:// space.

@Eric Fitz With the release of Chrome’s Manifest V3 it seems like this is not possible anymore, are you aware of any way to include Intercom within a Chrome extension? Exploring options for a new project to see if we can get the base level information about active users etc not necessarily using the chat support functions within the extension. Thanks for any insights you can provide!
