Manifest v3 deadline

[Taylor Chan]

Hello, our company Seismic (https://seismic.com/) manages a Chrome extension that is widely used by our customers and is already on manifest v3.  

We have acquired a company that has several Chrome extensions that are still on manifest v2.   Our intent was to rebuild their feature sets onto the parent company Chrome extension and then delist the legacy extensions.  We did NOT plan on upgrading to v3 given our intention to sunset. 

Per this timeline, is it true that our legacy extensions will be removed from the webstore in January 2024?   If yes, we have a few questions:

• Would this only block future installations, or would it also make existing installions stop functioning?
• Is there any exception process we can apply to given that we intend to sunset these extensions anyway in the first half of 2024?

The extension in question are:

1. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/seismic-learning/mnhkflppfjijmbkjngdfebdmchobhcom
2. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lessonly-recording/ehlfmibfbjdfgempfpalhaoobjgfegfc

Hi Taylor,

We actually paused the timeline last year and posted some more details about that in March: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-extensions/c/zQ77HkGmK9E/m/HjaaCIG-BQAJ

Given that, there are no changes planned for January 2024. Hopefully that gives you some peace of mind.

Let us know if you have any further questions.
