Resilient MV3 Processing Pipeline
Chrome Extension · Manifest V3 · Service Worker · Offscreen Document · ffmpeg
| May 2026 - Jun 2026
A client-side architecture that implements a reliable, long-running processing pipeline within the strict execution constraints of Chrome Manifest V3.
Engineering Challenges
- Designed a multi-context architecture using Service Workers and Offscreen Documents to bypass Manifest V3 execution limits for long-running computation.
- Eliminated unreliable inter-process communication by moving computation directly to the data instead of transferring large binary payloads.
- Optimized the processing pipeline for predictable job completion rather than maximum concurrency to prevent memory exhaustion.
