• MDN - manifest.json

  It is a JSON-formatted file, with one exception: it is allowed to contain "//"-style comments.

• MDN - icons

  You can use SVG and the browser will scale your icon appropriately. There are currently two caveats though:

  1. You need to specify a viewBox in the image. E.g.: viewBox="0 0 48 48" [for size "48"]
  2. Even though you can use one file, you still need to specify various size of the icon in your manifest.
