MV2 June 2023 deadline under review, any news?

[Manvel Saroyan]

According to https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/migrating/mv2-sunset/ deadline for all existing Manifest V2 items with visibility set to Public at that time will have their visibility changed to Unlisted, which is 1 week from now is under review. Is there any update to that? 

Have an extension, with around 900 users weekly visiting the public listing, which yet can't be migrated to MV3, because of User scripts execution not being available in Chrome yet, at least as far as I know the specs are ready, but browsers still need to implement it. Currently anxious about the timing and hope to make the extension somehow compatible with MV3 in future without losing SEO ranking.

Any news on timing and relevant info about User scripts implementation ETA will help on this stage.

Hi Manvel,

the MV2 deprecation is currently on pause and there are no updates yet on a new timeline. You can find more detail in this year's I/O talk. You can also find a list of things we plan to address before announcing a new timeline on the MV3 known issues page (this includes user script support). 

Hope that helps,

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for the prompt reply, this definitely helps. According to the commitment section of talk it seems like deadline mentioned above will at least be extended for 6months after the known issues you mentioned are fixed. This should be enough for my use-case and the timeline sounds reasonable to me for the extensions that only support Chromium.

Thanks,

Manvel

It's a bit hard to see, but all of the support timeline dates on or after 2023 are crossed out and labeled either "Postponed" or "Under review". 

Chromies, it would be great if this table could be updated to more clearly communicate the current status of the migration timeline. If nothing else, making the date for a set of changes normal weight and making "under review" bold might help with legibility. I just opened PR 6400 to address this.
