How to adjust the with-firebase-auth to work with Arc (other chromium browsers)

I'm encountering issues with the example for using Firebase Authentication when extending the scope beyond Google Chrome. Has anyone successfully implemented it on other Chromium-based browsers? It appears the problem stems from insufficient SDK support in these browsers. I'm considering either developing my own OAuth popup or experimenting with WebAuthFlow. Has anyone had success with either of these approaches?

Solved it from the background script like this, works for all Chromium browsers that I have tested:

import type { PlasmoMessaging } from "@plasmohq/messaging"
import {
    GoogleAuthProvider,
    signInWithCredential,
    signOut,
} from "firebase/auth";
import { app, auth } from "~firebase";

const handleSignIn = async (request, sender) => {
    try {
        const redirectUri = chrome.identity.getRedirectURL();
        const clientId = process.env.PLASMO_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_CLIENT_ID  
        const authUrl = `https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id=${clientId}&response_type=token&redirect_uri=${encodeURIComponent(redirectUri)}&scope=email openid profile`;
    
        return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
          chrome.identity.launchWebAuthFlow({
            url: authUrl,
            interactive: true,
          }, (redirectUrl) => {
            if (chrome.runtime.lastError || !redirectUrl) {
              reject(new Error("WebAuthFlow failed: " + chrome.runtime.lastError.message));
              return;
            }
            const params = new URLSearchParams(new URL(redirectUrl).hash.substring(1));
            const accessToken = params.get('access_token');
            const credential = GoogleAuthProvider.credential(null, accessToken);
            
            signInWithCredential(auth, credential).then((userCredential) => {
              resolve(userCredential.user);
            }).catch((error) => {
              reject(new Error("Firebase signInWithCredential failed: " + error.message));
            });
          });
        });
      } catch (e) {
        throw new Error("Sign-in failed: " + e.message);
      }
};


const handleSignOut = async (request, sender) => {
    try {
        await signOut(auth);
        return "Signed out successfully.";
      } catch (e) {
        throw new Error("Sign-out failed: " + e.message);
      }
};

const getUser = async (request, sender) => {
    return auth.currentUser;
}

import type { PlasmoMessaging } from "@plasmohq/messaging"
import {
    GoogleAuthProvider,
    signInWithCredential,
    signOut,
} from "firebase/auth";
import { app, auth } from "~firebase";

const handleSignIn = async (request, sender) => {
    try {
        const redirectUri = chrome.identity.getRedirectURL();
        const clientId = process.env.PLASMO_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_CLIENT_ID  
        const authUrl = `https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id=${clientId}&response_type=token&redirect_uri=${encodeURIComponent(redirectUri)}&scope=email openid profile`;
    
        return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
          chrome.identity.launchWebAuthFlow({
            url: authUrl,
            interactive: true,
          }, (redirectUrl) => {
            if (chrome.runtime.lastError || !redirectUrl) {
              reject(new Error("WebAuthFlow failed: " + chrome.runtime.lastError.message));
              return;
            }
            const params = new URLSearchParams(new URL(redirectUrl).hash.substring(1));
            const accessToken = params.get('access_token');
            const credential = GoogleAuthProvider.credential(null, accessToken);
            
            signInWithCredential(auth, credential).then((userCredential) => {
              resolve(userCredential.user);
            }).catch((error) => {
              reject(new Error("Firebase signInWithCredential failed: " + error.message));
            });
          });
        });
      } catch (e) {
        throw new Error("Sign-in failed: " + e.message);
      }
};


const handleSignOut = async (request, sender) => {
    try {
        await signOut(auth);
        return "Signed out successfully.";
      } catch (e) {
        throw new Error("Sign-out failed: " + e.message);
      }
};

const getUser = async (request, sender) => {
    return auth.currentUser;
}
