Hello everyone,


We wanted to provide an update on the progress of the Manifest V2 deprecation.


Over the last few months, we have continued with the Manifest V2 phase-out. Currently the chrome://extensions page displays a warning banner for all users of Manifest V2 extensions. Additionally, we have started disabling Manifest V2 extensions on pre-stable channels.


This week, we will start disabling Manifest V2 extensions in Chrome stable. This change will be slowly rolled out to all Chrome users over the following weeks. Users will be directed to the Chrome Web Store, where they will be recommended Manifest V3 alternatives for their disabled extension. To give users time to find alternatives, they will still be able to turn their Manifest V2 extensions back on for a short time. 


You can find more details about the Manifest V2 deprecation process in our Manifest V2 support timeline documentation.


Thanks,


Sebastian Benz, on behalf of the Chrome Extensions Team
