I have an extension that shows it has errors. When I check what the error is, it's just the 'Manifest version 2 is deprecated, and support will be removed in 2023' warning.
I know what it means. I don't like that it keeps showing up as an error.

is there a way to suppress this warning or error? I don't want Chrome to keep flagging the use of v2 manifest as an error.

Agree. This error message tends to distract developers from real errors, since it is always there.

is there a way to suppress this warning or error?

Use Edge browser for development.

Correction: edge browser also shows that error.

A better notification method would be to show the warning at the top of chrome://extensions page when MV2 extensions are present.

That not-an-error message is so annoying!!

The MV3 migration is enough of a nightmare already. We don't need a useless message every time we reload our extensions.
