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.
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate/mv2-deprecation-timeline
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.
You are right, my bad, last change seems to be a year ago.
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".
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.
