Google Chrome breathes new life into extensions with latest update

Google Chrome’s transition to the Manifest V3 browser API has been delayed yet again, keeping Manifest V2 extensions alive for a while longer. While Chrome ceased to accept new Manifest V2 extensions last year and stopped visibility changes for existing ones, the planned switch to Manifest V3 in 2023 and 2024 has been postponed.

In an email to developers, Google’s Developer Relations Engineer, Oliver Dunk, explained that the company is still working on a phase-out plan for Manifest V2, and the changeover is still several months away.
