The Chrome & Edge browsers [and any other browsers based on Chrome] are moving from Manifest V2 to Manifest V3. That means some browser extensions, notably uBlock Origin, will stop working. Google however will allow enterprise users to continue using Manifest V2 for another year. Here's how to enable the enterprise policy:
Here's what you'll need to do, as highlighted by TeamDJ on Reddit:Open up the “Registry Editor” Program
Navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome
With the Chrome folder on the left highlighted, select Edit/New/DWORD (32-Bit Value) <<<or, if you prefer, on the right side of the screen in a BLANK SPOT, you can RIGHT CLICK New/DWORD (32-Bit Value)>>>.
Name it ExtensionManifestV2Availability and hit enter.
Right click what you just created (ExtensionManifestV2Availability) and click Modify. Set the Hexadecimal value to 2, and click OK.
You’re done, but check your work by opening Chrome, and pasting chrome://policy in the URL Address bar and hit enter. You should see the ExtensionManifestV2Availability policy, and the value should be set to 2. If you don’t see it, click “Reload Policies” and/or review your work.
You'll also need to restart your PC to apply the change. Your system will now have the ExtensionManifestV2Availability policy for Enterprise customers enabled, allowing you to use classic extensions on your browser until June 2025.
