A little bug in Showflake browser addon?

Hey everyone, I wanted to bring up something small. Has anyone else noticed a UI glitch in the Snowflake browser addon for Edge and Chrome? I have been using Snowflake for a while, but I removed the addon when I thought it stopped working, and I assumed it was because of my Edge or Windows hardening settings. When I tried installing it again, I realised it was probably a UI glitch and the addon was actually working.

Earlier, the Snowflake icon used to change color, green when someone was connected and purple when no one was connected. It also showed a badge with the number of people connected in the last 24 hours. Now the icon stays the same all the time, no matter if someone is connected or how many people have connected. The information still appears when I click the addon. I tested this on Edge and Brave and it behaved the same.

So, I am wondering if this is happening only on my devices or if everyone is seeing this. I do not think it affects functionality, but is this a new feature where the icon and badge no longer update or a bug?

Indeed the icon color used to change, but now it’s not the case, after the Manifest V3 migration, Manifest V3 Migration (!78) · Merge requests · The Tor Project / Anti-censorship / Pluggable Transports / Snowflake WebExtension · GitLab. This is unintentional. I thought that there is an existing issue, but apparently not.

Oh, I actually see the issue has been fixed btw, thank you very much! fix: Restore icon status and badge in MV3 extension

if (totalClients > 0) {
  badgeText = `${totalClients}`;
}


else {
  if (clients > 0) {
    path = {
      48: "assets/toolbar-running-48.png",
      96: "assets/toolbar-running-96.png"
    };
  }
}
