I assume that it is for chrome. I have read that I can set the permissions in that file to avoid XSS errors while developing.
First check if manifest. json is applied in the browser. For that open developer window by pressing shortcut F12. In Application tab, click Manifest option and see if it displays information that you have set.
Using manifest. json , you specify basic metadata about your extension such as the name and version, and can also specify aspects of your extension's functionality (such as background scripts, content scripts, and browser actions).
Yes, you should be completely fine deleting the manifest.
The web app manifest is a JSON file that tells the browser about your Progressive Web App and how it should behave when installed on the user's desktop or mobile device.
There are many json files for your chrome experience from Native chrome json files to json files for chrome extensions. Most of them can be found at
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\
Most manifest.json files are found for extensions in
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions
In linux mine are located in .config directory:
./.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/bjnkloegafmkhgpjglcbldhaokjpandj/1.0.0.0_0/manifest.json
