Hi community!

Today, as I've installed chrome with version 113.0.5672.92, me and my peers have became to face the next problem when we load unpacked extension: chrome just falls and completely closes.

Our manifest has version == 2, i thought maybe that was the case, but i cannot prove these with info i have, as browser doesn't expose any errors or something.

Is anyone there who experience same problem or you can say where I should look at?
Write if you need more info and I'll try to provide it.

Thank you!

Hi Illia,

On a wild guess, does the extension call `chrome.runtime.requestUpdateCheck()`? We recently fixed a bug in M113 where this can cause an unpacked extension to crash the browser. It should be fixed when we release a 113 "refresh" next week. In the meantime, you could remove that call and it should hopefully stop this from happening.

If that isn't the case, it would be useful if you could go to chrome://crashes/ and make sure you've uploaded a crash report. If you then share the ID I can take a look on our end.

Thanks!
