found this checking on my extension (see post)

@VivaLaUSA you can (and should) still use them as long as possible until chromium will be forcibly disable them, one day... but for #9 you can consider stylebot and for #10 adguard beta.
Some extension replacements will be probably appear in the next months,
some others will struggle or disappear (I especially fear for cookie/tracking addons),
some others will be probably converted in modifications, userscripts or boomarklets. -
@luetage No mention of any of this with either the Brave or Epic browsers both of which exclusively use the Webstore for extensions.

@Hadden89 Thanks for the suggestions above.
So as I understand it - Manifest v2 is at some point going to be deprecated - and Google Chrome will (as Manifest v3 gets implemented) have Manifest v2 extensions removed from the Webstore as well as turned "off" in Google Chrome as functional extensions at some point (that is specific to only Google Chrome and independent of all other sovereign "Chromium" code based browsers such as Vivaldi, Brave, Epic etc etc.).
To be specific, Google can't reach-out (beyond their respective browser) and disable extensions of any kind other than in regards to their own proprietary browser hence, specific to "Chromium" based browsers, while Manifest v2 extensions will at some point no longer be available to users in the Webstore - the deprecated extensions will still exist in "Chromium" code based browsers in their deprecated form and as such remain intact and functional to the extent that's possible (that is remain present) relevant to all (non-Google) "Chromium" based browsers (independent of "Google Chrome").
With that in mind, I'm presuming there will be a point where all Chromium browsers (I.e. Google Chrome and/or other "Chromium based" browsers) may have their deprecated Manifest v2 extensions disabled as a result of the respective browsers public build release. And in the event what I'm surmising is correct, as long as that specific relevant public release is not downloaded and installed the Manifest v2 extensions cannot be messed with in anyway in regards to "Chromium code based browser" independent of the "Google Chrome browser" itself.
So assuming my analysis is correct - does anyone know (i.e. Vivaldi support) about what Vivaldi build released to the public will impact Manifest v2 extensions in way they will become disabled?
In the meantime, I've disabled (unchecked) "Automatically download and install updates" at this point in Vivaldi settings.

@VivaLaUSA
Hi, this will happen in 2025, no reason to use a insecure browser until then.
I use uBlock Origin Lite Manifest V3 since a while, work fine to me.
I cant find the source anymore but I read the developer will not maintain the V2 extension further.
It will disappear from the Chrome Store anyway.
The goal of the Vivaldi developer is to improve the internal ad blocker so you don't need an extension anymore. -
@Catweazle
Violentmonkey is also on the "to be discontinued" list. -
@VivaLaUSA
Instead of AutoplayStopper, you could use Disable HTML5 Autoplay & Version 2024
1.1. I wonder if Privacy Badger would be an acceptable substitute for Disconnect? -
@Streptococcus, yes, but there are alternatives, eg Tampermonkey which is already Mv3 and also some others.
-
Unfortunately some of the extensions I use do not have an alternative or any alternative is incredibly inferior and have been a key function for me.

For Tab renamer use the script Title Manager, is far better than any extension:

Look this post for details:

@barbudo2005 I tried the userscript and it seems to only allow one tab name change per domain, but I also could not get it to change the tab name at all. Even if it did work properly it seems to not be as powerful as the extension I've been using. Thanks for the recommend though.

No. You have to use regex. Look this post:

Please post the URL and what do you want.

Okay strangely after I last said it didn't work I removed the script and when you mentioned having to use regex I figured I'd reinstall it and try again. It is actually doing something now, but not what I wanted. I tried it for two tabs on same domain.
Tab 1 - Original Title:
Help with Regex to rename tabs | Vivaldi Forum
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/99849/help-with-regex-to-rename-tabs/9Domain: forum.vivaldi.net
Search for: Help with Regex to rename tabs | Vivaldi Forum
Replace with: Help with RegexTab 2 - Original Title:
found this checking on my extension (see post) | Vivaldi Forum
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/100674/found-this-checking-on-my-extension-see-post/21?page=2Domain: forum.vivaldi.net
Search for: found this checking on my extension (see post) | Vivaldi Forum
Replace with: found this checkingIt has very strange behavior.
I changed Tab 2 first and hit Add as regex and after refreshing the page the title became "found this checking on my extension (see post) |found this checking" which is not right.
I then changed Tab 1 and hit Add as regex and after refreshing the title became "Help with Regex| Vivaldi forum" which is also not right.
Then I refreshed Tab 2 again and the title now was "found this checking on my extension (see post) |Help with Regex" so it is not capable of handling more than one on same domain.I removed the entry in the manage window and tried again the same exact thing but hitting Add instead of Add as regex and the titles displayed exactly what I wanted them changed to, but again it would only remember the most recently changed.
So in this example Tab 2 looked perfect, then after adding Tab 1 it looked perfect, but then refreshing Tab 2 again it was reset to the original title.
It only keeps track of one of them, if it kept track of both instead of seemingly overwriting itself I would be moderately satisfied with it.I have tried at least a dozen of extensions and Tab Renamer which is also known as Tab Modifier is the only thing that has worked well.
