Google delays execution of doomed Chrome extensions
have said they intend to continue supporting Manifest v2 extensions for an indeterminate amount of time. How long that will last is anyone's guess.
Brave, like other privacy-oriented companies and advocacy groups, has made it clear this regime change is not to its liking."With Manifest V3, Google is harming privacy and limiting user choice," the developer said ."The bottom line, though, is that Brave will still continue to offer leading protection against invasive ads and trackers."Google, on its timeline, suggests MV3 is approaching"full feature parity with Manifest V2."
Extension developers appear to be skeptical about that. On Friday, in response to Google's timeline revisionto the Chromium Extension Google Group, a developer forum member who goes by the pseudonym"wOxxOm" slammed Google for posts full of corporate lingo about safety and security and pushed back against its statement about feature parity.
"[T]his definitely sounds reasonable if you don't know the context, but given the subsequently plotted timeline it becomes a gross exaggeration and a borderline lie, because with the progress rate we all observed over the past years it'll take at least several years more for MV3 to become reliable and feature-rich enough to replace MV2, not half a year or a year," wOxxOm posted.
