I was under the impression that @Vivaldi is going to support Manifest V2 plugins after Chrome drops support, but this message is alarming. What's going on?

#ManifestV2
0 posts0 participants0 posts today
I've just noticed my @Vivaldi browser saying that uBlock Origin and ScriptSafe are going to stop working in the near future, which is disappointing as I thought they were going to keep support for them.
So my question is... what #browser can I use now? OR, what plugins do I need to replace the soon-to-be-dead ones?
I've got Safari for a backup, but that's got pretty terrible #plugin support so I've never really used it as a primary browser.
#Firefox seems to be enshittifying as fast as they can, #Chrome and #Edge are both crap from a privacy point of view. All the other #Chromium browsers are based on Chrome and thus also lose the #ManifestV2 support.
I don't have millions of plugins I need, but blocking scripts seems a fairly essential feature in the web of 2025 and I don't know what other options there are at the moment...
Oh, and if the Safari mention earlier didn't give it away, I'm on an Apple Silicon Mac (and have no intention of moving to Linux ;) )

control the market. It also means its not going anywhere anytime soon.
3. Manifest V2 is dead. Yes, it is supported by Firefox but it'll be dropped eventually. Maintaining V2 and V3 simultaneously will be exhausting for the Firefox team that's already severly undermanned.
There's no guarantee @brave will support Manifest V2 after Google drops it in Chromium (which it already did I think?).
If you really want Manifest V2, use @firefox (or a fork) where its being maintained officially.

#uBlockOrigin dead for many as #Google purges #ManifestV2 extensions
#Chrome #adblocker stopped working? Time to look elsewhere
#uBlock recommends a move to #Firefox and use of the extension uBlock Origin, a switch to a browser that will support Manifest v2, or downloading a different extension – #uBlockOriginLite, for example.

@paninodesu all Chromium Browser are unuseable garbage since #ManifestV2 got killed!
#Google warns #uBlock Origin and other extensions may be disabled soon
#Chrome Web Store is now warning that the #uBlockOrigin #adblocker and other extensions may soon be blocked as part of the company's deprecation of the #ManifestV2 extension specification.

@BleepingComputer Doesn't fix hiw the removal of #ManifestV2 bricked many critical extensions to do #ITsec.

@jon @Vivaldi Hi! Opera will keep to support #ManifestV2. What does Vivaldi have the plan about this problem? Will Vivaldi support Manifest V2, too? Or other plan?

merci pour le lien, Il m'a permi de trouver une solution pour #macos https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/1d799pa/tutorial_on_how_to_enable_manifest_v2_extensions/ #manifestv2 #manifestv3 #chrome #ublock_origin
You can supposedly make Google #Chrome support #ManifestV2 for a while longer with this registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome]
"ExtensionManifestV2Availability"=dword:00000002
Use that extra time wisely and migrate away from Chrome.
on chromeOS, do you miss having a full screen launcher for your internet bookmarks?

There is an extension which does this, but I'm nervous that it's going to go away because the developer has not updated it to manifest v3...if someone can please reach out to him...here's my current review:
Fellow users - Guys, what do we do to save this extension? Does anyone know? I can't seem to reach the developer...can someone please reach out to the developer to update their extension to manifest v3?
hi, your excellent chrome extension Favorites - New Tab Page is still on manifest v2 which google has seemed to add to a sort of chopping block.
can you please update it to manifest v3 to save it? thank you
if it helps, you could add a tip jar/donation or payment function. if not that, then can you open source it and release it to github? thank you.
if the developer doesn't do this, can developers who code make a clone of this app? feel free to reward yourself with tip jar/donations/payment functions. if not that, then can you open source it and release it to github? thank you.
the best. Its your existing bookmarks, but instead of a tiny sliver, you get a nice full screen grid layout with icons imported automatically, also allows drag and drop. you can also right click settings > themes > choose any dark background for a night mode / dark theme, easier on the eyes.

NeowinOfficial Windows Registry hack extends uBlock Origin support on Google Chrome, EdgeAn official Windows Registry hack exists that allows users to keep using uBlock Origin as well as other similar Manifest V2 extensions that are no longer supported on Google Chrome.
Und hier nochmal eine Erinnerung, warum wir von #Google unabhängige Browser brauchen: #uBlockOrigin, was die Browsernutzung erträglich macht, fliegt nun wegen der lang angekündigten Umstellung auf #ManifestV3 endgültig aus #Chrome / #Chromium raus. #uBlockLite ist leider komplett kastriert und kann nur rudimentär Werbung blockieren.
#Firefox unterstützt weiter #ManifestV2 und ist die Empfehlung des uBlock Origin Entwicklers gorhill. #Librewolf hat das Add-on vorinstalliert.

Ah les enflures...
Il est important de souligner que cela va toucher tous les navigateurs se basant sur Chromium. Donc je vous invite fortement, si ce n'est pas déjà le cas, à retourner sur #Firefox ! En effet, Mozilla conservera #ManifestV2 en parallèle.

NextChrome prévient : uBlock Origin ne sera bientôt plus supporté - NextGoogle avait prévenu : d’ici la fin 2025, Chrome aura entièrement migré vers le Manifest V3. Comme nous l’avons vu début juin, ce mouvement va s’étaler dans le temps, Google commençant désormais à épingler les extensions utilisant l’ancienne version. C’est le cas pour uBlock Origin, dont un message affirme que l’extension pourrait ne plus être bientôt […]

@trentskunk Welp, not surprised.
Vivaldi experiencing, as they put it, "a performance drag" from considering a proper implementation is the probable result of trying to pluck so much stuff in the browser, so they choose a status quo of OBEDIENTLY following Google's version of the Manifest V3 spec. How come they don't take a page from Firefox that keeps both Manifest V2 and V3 that doesn't impede extensions' capabilities as much as Chromium?
