Abstract
The world of browser extensions is undergoing a major transformation. Google Chrome is spearheading a transition that changes how extensions work and what they are capable of doing, and the rest of the major browsers are likely to follow suit. Some of these changes are controversial, as they have significant implications for many very popular chrome extensions. The changes are embodied within a refashioning in how the manifest.json is written (by defining a new manifest_version 3); thus, these changes are commonly referred to as “manifest v3.”
