In order to support the ongoing effort to migrate to Manifest v3 (see #107), the content_security_policy field of the manifest file needs to be formatted as an object, instead of a string like in the v2 specification.
Right now, there are a number of lines in the manifest processing script which operate under the assumption that the field will always contain a string value. This section will need to be re-written in order to accommodate object values when using the v3 spec.
Honestly, this doesn't seem like a very difficult thing to fix. I'd be happy to do in myself in a PR later this week.
