Types are provided by webextension-polyfill-ts. I've attempted to reach out and ask if I could help maintain and release changes, but didn't get a response... I would like to update the types since chrome has been adding more APIs with MV3, but an update to these types haven't been reelased in 6 months.

Maybe it's time to move on from the polyfill and use chrome and https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/chrome instead... Not sure if these types support cross-platform APIs, but the types are constantly getting updated. But IMO the polyfill is still necessary, so I'm hesitant to switch from it.

It looks like they claim that these types are auto generateed. So I submitted an issue about this over there as well. Maybe somebody will up date it.

Just released an experiment feature in [email protected] to switch to @types/chrome, which has this type in it. Try it out and let me know how it goes: #868
