This can now appear in the manifest:

 "content_scripts": [{
    "js": ["content.js"],
    "matches": ["<all_urls>"],
    "run_at": "document_start"
  }, {
    "world": "MAIN",
    "js": ["page.js"],
    "matches": ["<all_urls>"],
    "run_at": "document_start"
  }],

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the extension currently registers content scripts and add support for the 'world' property in Manifest V3 content script definitions. Modify the code to parse and apply the 'world' attribute from the manifest.
