Microsoft will remove MV2 support in Edge in the coming months.
Beginning in August 2026, Microsoft Edge will start the consumer transition away from Manifest Version 2 (MV2) extensions and toward MV3. Our goal is to complete the consumer transition by the end of 2026, with enterprise deprecation following in early 2027.”
In Firefox (and Derivates) and Safari there is still uBlock Origin? Chrome based browser have MV2 problem?
Safari doesn’t have uBlock Origin, only uBlock Lite. Firefox stated they will continue supporting uBlock Origin. Brave has explicitly stated they will support uBlock Origin as long as possible. Chrome has disabled support for MV2 and removed all the MV2 extensions from the web store but it’s still in the codebase for now, Brave says they’ll try to keep support even if it gets removed from upstream.
That’s not correct. They are still present, for example uBlock Origin https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm
What they have done is remove them from search listings, so you need to know the URL. Still, this means the extension can continue to update fine.
Also, Opera has said they will keep support, while Vivaldi has kept support but made fewer promise. Not that any of those two browser are recommended here.
Just use mullvad browser?
For the record, the internal Chromium PDF Viewer is still embedded into the browser as an MV2 extension (check in chrome://extensions-internals), so the support is still right there in the code, just disabled for 3rd party extensions.
Interesting, so they’re not even following their own recommendations. I was going off the Chrome MV2 timeline where they say it’s fully disabled now.
