it's still show up for me, but maybe becasue i have "Allow legacy extension manifest versions" enabled on chrome://flags, and thanks to that i'm still able to use old extention as well.
next, watch how they will remove this to kill them for good.
Yeah, allowing a legacy extension manifest versions is a temporary fix, but they hint that this will also be disabled in the near future, so switching to the likes of Firefox right now and getting familiar with them before it's too late is the best thing to do.
I can't imagine going back in time where different adds have to pot up on my browser just because I visited some site or clicked on some link.
Is firefox and others are less resources hungry than chrome? To be honest, I have been using Chrome and TOR for years and never though about changing it anytime sooner until this manifest issue arrived. I always preferred these two browsers. But nowadays I'm having it hard just to keep using the extensions I used to use. Many of them cannot be found anymore and some doesn't have manifest V2 versions of them, so I can't use them. I tried using forked version of chrome (example bromite) but they too had issues, so I stayed at the original.
