I saw the bitcoin app, but I was talking about the "Ledger Manager" Chrome extension.  It's a plug-in that works with the Google Chrome web browser.  It'll also likely work with Chromium.  That has an option to access your Ethereum wallets.
"Ledger Manager" was only useful for updating firmware and/or adding/removing "coin apps" from the device. It has no wallet functionality.

The "ETH wallet" chrome app , simply brings up a screen telling you to install Ledger Live... and indeed, that support download page says:
No longer supported

Ledger Ethereum Chrome app has been deactivated. Please use Ledger Live to manage your ETH. Learn more
This happened way back in December of 2018... So, it's not a recent occurrence.

One other thing might be trying an "old" version of MEW or MyCrypto? You can check the GitHubs here: https://github.com/MyEtherWallet/MyEtherWallet/releases and here: https://github.com/MyCryptoHQ/MyCrypto/releases

If that is a bust, Ledger Support is your last best option Undecided
The old MEW versions are a pretty good option, I bet that will work. If only I knew how to deploy the github code. It is as simple as getting a webhost and FTP'ing the files over?
