webextensions.manifest.action - Chrome does not support "theme_icons" key

[monyxie]

What type of issue is this?

Incorrect support data (example: BrowserX says "86" but support was added in "40")

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

action.theme_icons key is listed in the comatibility table as support by Chrome since version 88.

What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?

No response

What did you expect to see?

action.theme_icons key should be listed as unsupported by Chrome.

Did you test this? If so, how?

I tested this in Chromium v125.0.6422.41 with a manifest.json file that look something like this:

{
  "manifest_version": 3,

  ...

  "icons": {
    "16": "icons/qrlite-16.png",
    "32": "icons/qrlite-32.png",
    "64": "icons/qrlite-48.png",
    "128": "icons/qrlite-128.png"
  },
  "action": {
    "default_icon": {
      "16": "icons/qrlite-light-16.png",
      "32": "icons/qrlite-light-32.png",
      "48": "icons/qrlite-light-48.png",
      "128": "icons/qrlite-light-128.png"
    },
    "default_popup": "popup/popup.html",
    "theme_icons": [
      {
        "light": "icons/qrlite-dark-16.png",
        "dark": "icons/qrlite-light-16.png",
        "size": 16
      },
      {
        "light": "icons/qrlite-dark-32.png",
        "dark": "icons/qrlite-light-32.png",
        "size": 32
      }
    ]
  },
  
  ...

}

The action icon does not change when I switch between light and dark mode.
