What is Manifest V3?

It's a set of changes to the Chrome extension platform introduced by Google.
With Manifest V3, Google significantly limits the capabilities of browser extensions by removing access to powerful APIs that allowed for innovation.

Expected Timeline:


Immediate Action:


Note: Some time in this process, Google will disable Manifest V2 support by default.  ◄◄◄ WE ARE HERE!
During this time, we won't be able to push updates to the Chrome Web Store until our Manifest V3 update is live.
You may need to switch to ➤ manual installation during this period to install updates!

Enable continued Manifest V2 support via Chrome Enterprise policy

For at least until June 2025 it will be possible to re-enable full Manifest V2 support in Chrome by setting a so-called Chrome Enterprise Policy.
The following steps work in any Chrome or Chromium based desktop browser – they do not require a special enterprise version.

After following this guide your Chrome/Chromium browser will support Manifest V2 based extension again like it did in the past, without disabling them on restart or warning about them!


Quick 3 Step Guide: (Windows)

Linux

Run the the following commands (depending on which Chrome / OS you are using) in your shell and restart your browser.
Check the internal chrome://policy page as outlined above under Step 3.
