In one of my questions, I was recommended to rebuild my context menu using the new popup-API that google had introduced in early 2024, and while that sounds cool, it seems like the type of context menu I was creating cannot be created to the level it is at when using the popup-API, as a matter of fact not much customization can be done with this API. Sure, you can use CSS, but for some of the really advanced stuff you can do with js.. I don't know. As I looked over the blog google posted, and it seems to just make a simple popup when you click a button. I mean, sure... that's cool and all, but I feel bootstrap with popper.js does a better job at making popups than the new popup-API google has introduced. My main question is, is it worth it to switch over and rebuild everything from scratch to move over for a little extra compatibility, or should we just stick with the old ways of making popups/popovers? (Defining them and creating them from scratch using JS or using bootstrap bundled with popper.js)

It sounds like you're navigating the complexities of updating your context menu using Google's new popup-API. While the API offers some streamlined functionality, it might not meet the advanced customization needs you have compared to using CSS or tools like Bootstrap with Popper.js. Evaluating whether to rebuild from scratch depends on your specific requirements for interactivity and design finesse.

Considering the versatility and user-friendly nature of frameworks like Bootstrap paired with Popper.js, they often excel in creating dynamic popups and ensuring compatibility across various browsers. However, for cutting-edge functionalities or specialized interactions, exploring Google's popup-API could offer advantages in the long run, especially if future updates enhance its capabilities.
