What's new in Videochat Extension?

Added an alternative IP geolocation API, which works via HTTPS. However, it is less robust than the previous HTTP counterpart, offering only 1k requests per day and lacking the ability to detect mobile Internet.
Added a detailed guide on activating the better API to the wiki on GitHub. If the HTTP API is unavailable, a link to the wiki will appear in the IP tab.
Replaced the donation button with a button encouraging users to leave a review in the Chrome Web Store.
Clicking on the 'Stop' button now resets the IP section.
The default map display in the English version now shows Europe.
The extension has been adapted to manifest v3 and will continue to work in Chrome in the coming future.
Renamed the English extension name to 'Chatruletka (ome.tv) extension'.
The control panel header now displays the version of the extension.
Upon login, a warning displays to clarify that videochatru.com and ome.tv belong to the same platform.

Section 'IP'.

Added an alternative IP geolocation API.
It works via HTTPS but is much inferior to its HTTP counterpart (1k requests per day, cannot detect mobile Internet).
Added a detailed post on how to make the better API work to the wiki on GitHub.
If the HTTP API is unavailable, the link to the article will be in the IP tab.
Replaced the donation button with a button with a call to leave a review in the Chrome Web Store.
When you click the 'Stop' button, the IP section resets.

Section 'Map'.

Europe is displayed on the map (in the English locale) by default.

Section 'Stats'.

Fixed a decrease in manual skips during auto-start due to too long connection.

Section 'Settings'.

The 'Settings' section now expands to half the screen. You can turn it off in settings.
If you change an important setting, the extension will remind you to reboot only after clicking the ' buttonStart'.

Section 'Info'.

Telegram extension groups/chats have been cut/deleted.

Miscellaneous.

Extension adapted to manifest v3 (Will work in Chrome in 2023+)
The extension in the English version is now named 'Chatruletka (ome.tv) extension'.
Added the extension version to the control panel header.
A warning now appears on the login screen that Chat Roulette and ome.tv are the same chat platform.
Many people have deleted the extension because they probably could not realize why they can't use it on their Chatruletka instance.
