Recently I installed the Tampermonkey IMDb Script in Google Chrome and I'm getting an error when I opened the IMDb site, then my chrome immediately pop-up an error message "IMDb Scout Mod (Warning) I think it detected an bug, so kindly check it out and fix the issue. I'm uploading the error message in this description panel.

I'm getting an error

It's not "error", it's a warning that a bugged malware is detected aka Chrome.

I think it detected an bug, so kindly check it out and fix the issue.

The bugged malware is on your computer, so it's up to you to fix it. Install a secure browser which follows the good practices.

As a temporary fix you can install Violenmonkey, fix will work till VM will be banned or till it reverts to MV3 bugs/"features". But I strongly recommend you to uninstall that Chrome ASAP.

Chromium-based browsers are transitioning to Manifest V3, while Firefox is not. As this script is based on Manifest V2, it is recommended to switch to a non Chromium-based browser. Is that right ? This, I can understand.

But then I have two questions :

  1. What technically makes the script slower ? Do these browsers now handle MV2 differently ?
  2. Why not port this script to MV3 ? Is it technically impossible, or is that too much of a hassle ?

As this script is based on Manifest V2...

No, userscripts are not based on any manifests.

What technically makes the script slower ? Do these browsers now handle MV2 differently ?

Chrome/Chromium makes it slow. Google will disable MV2 so it can push on to you more ads, Firefox says that it will not.

is recommended to switch to a non Chromium-based browser. Is that right ?

Yes.

Why not port this script to MV3 ? Is it technically impossible, or is that too much of a hassle ?

Read the first answer. I guess you don't understand what that MV3 is. Do you know a country named North Korea? That's what MV3 aka google mangling with www standards is.

An "early" enlightenment that google mangles with the www standards like they own the internet: chrome-is-the-new-ie6

Funny that the author himself jumped from one virus to another, when the good browsers at the time of chrome introduction were Opera and Firefox. :D
