SUMMARY Google has started officially disabling Chrome Extensions that don't use the new Manifest V3 standard. As a result, the Chrome Plasma Integration Extension is no longer functional. Seeing this in the Chrome dev build on desktop. (See attached screenshots.) Link to extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/plasma-integration/cimiefiiaegbelhefglklhhakcgmhkai KDE git repo for extension: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-browser-integration KDE wiki page with link to extension page: https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Browser_Integration STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install the Google Chrome developer build (on arch, it's available from the AUR as "google-chrome-dev" 2. Install the Plasma Integration extension from the above link (if you are still able to, otherwise, you'll need to sideload a copy from the KDE git repo, or your distro's repo) 3. Navigate to chrome://extensions via the url box 4. Observe that it states that "Plasma Integration" has been disabled (see screenshot) 5. Clicking on the 3-dot menu for the entry offers you an option to "Find alternatives", however there are no KDE-related alternatives available OBSERVED RESULT Plasma Integration is automatically disabled by chrome, with no option to reenable, and the related functionality is not available anymore. EXPECTED RESULT It works.
Time to switch to Firefox!
So far it’s only dev builds, right? I will update p-b-i to Manifest v3 within the next few weeks.
Please give this a try: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-browser-integration/-/merge_requests/78
Version 2.0 based on Manifest v3 has been released on the Chrome store
