Description

It would be great to be able to disable popup settings mode

Monosnap 2021-03-03

and allow settings to be changed only in full, chrome-extension:// mode.

I use focusme app which can block certain urls for me. If I could disable popup mode and block ImprovedYT chrome-extension:// url this would make my settings unbreakable.

Research direction

Start by locating the popup settings mode and the full chrome-extension:// settings entry point in the extension. Determine how popup access can be disabled while keeping settings available in full mode, then verify manually that the popup no longer opens settings and the full settings page still works.
