I am trying to figure out how I can use JQuery in my background.js for Google Chrome extension development for Manifest 3. All of the other answers I have found are for Manifest 2.
Thank you in advance for the help.

After some more research and time spent trying to figure out how to make this work I figured it out.
To add jquery to your background.js through the use of content functions, you need to add the following to your manifest.
"content_scripts": [ { "css":["/css/jquery/jquery-ui.min.css", "/css/jquery/jquery-ui.structure.min.css"], "js":["/js/jquery/jquery-3.6.0.min.js", "/js/jquery/jquery-ui.min.js"], "matches": ["*://*/*"], "run_at": "document_end" } ],
