Manifest V2 updates in Chrome Web Store #359

Closed ShivanKaul closed 1 week ago

Will NoScript continue to publish updates for Chrome Web Store once MV2 extensions are deprecated? Brave browser would like to support it since we plan to allow MV2 extensions but it would be great we can update via Chrome Web Store, at least until Enterprise policy supports it.

We're experimenting with a feature flag (brave://flags/#brave-extensions-manifest-v2) on Brave Nightly that will add a brave://settings/extensions/v2 page where users can manually install NoScript and a few other extensions.

Hello, the transition to Manifest V3 is in undergoing, but the necessary APIs are not there yet so it will take some more time.

Thanks for caring!

Could continue to support MV2 extensions on Chromium if possible

Currently running beta: Google Chrome Version 127.0.6533.43 (Official Build) beta (64-bit)

Chrome 127 is scheduled to be released as stable for general availability sometime next week. (It is supposed to be released today as early stable according to the release dashboard)

...and the extensions management page already shows: "These extensions may soon no longer be supported"

Are there any updates about support of Manifest v3? I dont'want back to Mozilla from Chromium ((

Chromium 129.0.6639.0.

Any updates? :)

I'd hate to see this extension go away... I find it very useful in protecting my privacy and helping with my ADHD (rotating ads are very distracting)

JShelter 0.19, released last month, is a proof of concept / test bed for the MV3-compatible NoScript Commons Library, which NoScript is largely based on .

Last week I've merged the NSCL mv3 branch into main, and at this moment I'm both maintaining NoScript 11.x and working on a mv3-compatible NoScript 12.

Please notice, though, that the extensions APIs on Chromium are already inferior to those offered by Firefox (even on MV2), causing NoScript and other Privacy Enhancer Tools (PETs) to suffer limitations on Chromium-based browsers.

Therefore, even though a MV3-compatible NoScript is coming by the end of the year, I still strongly suggest to switch to Firefox.
