Way to simulate Manifest V2 deprecation #87

Is there a way to simulate Chrome Manifest V2 deprecation?

What is the expected result?

Chrome PDF Viewer is Manifest Version 2, among other extensions shipped with Chrome. See chrome://extension-internals

So is this

{
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "name": "Chrome Screen AI",
  "version": "121.3"
}

in CfT Version 121.0.6167.0 (Official Build) (64-bit).

I don't see how Chrome is allegedly deprecating Manifest Version 2 for developers in the field yet shipping new internal extensions written using Manifest Version 2 without even describing what the code is doing in the extension manifest.

I would expect the browser to still launch ok, just with the MV2 extensions no where to be found

As of Chrome (Windows 64-bit) 120.0.6099.63, these are installed by default with manifest_version < 2

"manifest_version": 1,
   "name": "Web Store",
"manifest_version": 2,
   "name": "Chrome PDF Viewer",
"manifest_version": 2,
   "name": "Google Network Speech",
"manifest_version": 2,
   "name": "Google Hangouts",
"manifest_version": 2,
   "name": "Chrome Web Store Payments",

It just seems wrong to me to announce a depreciation date for MV2 extensions and there are still 4 preinstalled extensions that are still on MV2

"manifest_version": 2, "name": "Google Network Speech",

Note, on Chrome, when Google voices are used for Web Speech API SpeechSynthesisUtterance() a network request is mader that sends user text to external Google cloud servers. See https://github.com/guest271314/GoogleNetworkSpeechSynthesis.

On Chromium Google voices are not available. A local speech synthesis engine is used through SPeech Dispatcher. TTS/SST should be shipped in the browser. It's not right now.
