manifest v2 -> v3 migration

[Marek Király]

Hi, i am currenlty finishing my coputer science studies and as my diploma thesis i am creating a chorme extension. I am unfortunatelly a bit confused with the whole migration to manifest V3 being postponed.

- What is the latest official message about this ? 

- Is it worth it to create a manifest V2 extension ?
- Will it work in June when my studies end ? 

I am planning on manipulation some header values and setting various proxy connections and currently i am having trouble douing theese things in MV3 :/ 

With that said, could someone please help me understand this situation a bit better ? :) 

Thank you,
Marek

// - Is it worth it to create a manifest V2 extension ?

No. Create a Manifest V3 Chrome extension. Because the Chrome Web Store does normally not accept new Manifest V2 Chrome extensions.
