"Uncaught (in promise) Error: The 'activeTab' permission is not in effect because this extension has not been in invoked." in Chrome Extension

I have the <all_urls> host permission and the activeTab permission but this error appears on chrome://extensions/. Here is my manifest (with non-important detail removed):

{
    "action": {
        "default_icon": {...},
        "default_popup": "...",
        "default_title": "..."
    },
    "author": "...",
    "background": {
        "service_worker": "./some-js-1.js"
    },
    "content_scripts": [{
        "matches": ["<all_urls>"],
        "js": ["./some-js-2.js"]
    }],
    "description": "...",
    "host_permissions": [
        "<all_urls>"
    ],
    "icons": {...},
    "manifest_version": 3,
    "name": "...",
    "options_page": "...",
    "permissions": [
        "activeTab",
        "storage",
        "tabs"
    ],
    "short_name": "...",
    "version": "..."
}

In my background script (./some-js-1.js), this is the code that takes the screenshot:

browser.windows.getCurrent().then(function(win){
    browser.tabs.captureVisibleTab(win.id,{
        "format":"png"
    }).then(function(dataURI){
        console.log(dataURI);
        // do something with it
    });
});

It works in most places, but on chrome://extensions/ it doesn't work - even with the <all_urls> and activeTab permissions.

To quote the documentation (emphasis mine),

In order to call this method, the extension must have either the <all_urls> permission or the activeTab permission. In addition to sites that extensions can normally access, this method allows extensions to capture sensitive sites that are otherwise restricted, including chrome:-scheme pages, other extensions' pages, and data: URLs. These sensitive sites can only be captured with the activeTab permission. File URLs may be captured only if the extension has been granted file access.

I have both <all_urls> and activeTab, but still chrome://extensions is unavailable. When I tried putting <all_urls> into the permissions key I got a warning that said,

Permission '<all_urls>' is unknown or URL pattern is malformed.

I have it in the host_permissions because I want access to all of the hosts, but it still seems that the permission isn't given (or that I'm doing something wrong).

How can I fix this? If you need any more information please ask in the comments.

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
