The longer they put it off, the more unnoticed it will go when they finally do it.

Exactly, every time it's close the roar against it gets quieter. They're banking on that

Wait, it's not supposed to do that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

But if the extension is removed from the store you will not get updates.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Good thing you can add extensions from places other than the store.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But uBlock Origin does not set update_url in it's manifest.json so it won't update automatically. You'd have to do it manually every time.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh no, I guess it's impossible for that to ever change.

It's a good thing to be able to communicate without sarcasms when it's not called for.

But I don't think it'll change, feel free to try and make a PR but you'll also need to setup a server to host the releases and update.xml.

I don't get it, the timeline has been known since 2021 and has not changed. We are in the middle of the phase-out. All of this is really predictable.

Actually, as someone whose company has been working on updating extensions from MV2 to MV3 for the past four years, the timeline has changed. A couple of times, I think. Originally, MV2 was supposed to be entirely deprecated by the beginning of this year, but they've pushed it back twice and extended enterprise support even further.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

You are right, my bad, last change seems to be a year ago.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It isn't? I just read that the "Chrome MV2 deprecation enterprise rollout" is in June 2025. When is the exact date for the end v2 support? "The changes will be rolled out over the coming months to Chrome Stable, with the goal of completing the transition by the beginning of next year." is not "predictable". It can be any time between 2024 November to 2025 April, maybe even May.

Imagine giving that kind of a time to friend "yeah, I'll show up probably at the beginning of 2025, but that's the plan, it may be all the way until June 2025". Very "predictable".

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

It's really standard to leave some time for users to adapt when making a big change. Especially end users. It's actually a good thing, the "friend showing up" analogy makes no sense.

End of support for users is June 2024.

But it did seem to have changed a year ago or so, my bad.
