Thanks. I'll start migrating to Manifest v3 as soon as I can.

Thanks for reporting Please retitle this to something like "No support for Manifest version 3, Chromium (Google Chrome, etc) 138+" and "pin" this ticket.

Hi, is it possible to create a sideloaded extension and upload it to your GitHub release page? uBlock Origin has developed one that is compatible with Chrome v140, and works enabling the following options in chrome://flags/:

• Temporarily unexpire M138 flags • Temporarily unexpire M139 flags • Allow legacy extension manifest versions

Thanks!

Is there a difference to you whether the extension is packaged or source? Both can be sideloaded, presumably, using those flags.

I've mentioned this elsewhere, but making this extension manifest v3 compatible breaks a lot of functionality. Like uBlock Origin did, I can make a nerfed v3 version but most people will find it severely limited and lose a lot of the core functionality.

Ok, I agree, thanks!

Well Context search for me is the only reason why I won't update my current Chrome until there is a v3 version (the other would be Ublock, but the Lite version works good enough, combined with an addon like "Click to Remove Element".)

But on the other hand, I only use a fraction of the functionality, that is searching by hotkey, which is such a great timesaver I cannot miss any more and won't give up on.

So I would gratefully welcome a nerfed version as long as it has some core functionality left.

New branch is ready for testing ( manifest_v3 )

If you're able to test, I'd appreciate it.

Manifest v3 versions are going up on AMO and Chromestore now. There may be issues, but for Chrome especially, I felt a release needed to happen ASAP.

(edit)

I had to revert the Firefox version back to v2 because of lack of some critical functions

Thanks, Ssborbis! I just tested the manifest_v3 branch on Google Chrome Version 140.0.7339.128, and it works great. Much appreciated!
