Manifest V3 (MV3) FAQs

What is the Manifest V3 (MV3) transition for Chrome extensions? Manifest V3 is the latest update to Chrome's extension framework, which introduces more stringent security, privacy, and performance standards. Securly is preparing to transition its extensions to comply with these new requirements.

Why do Securly users need to enable MV2 extensions for now? Securly is currently developing versions of its extensions that comply with MV3. Until these are fully tested and released, users need to enable the setting in Google Admin Console that allows MV2 extensions to ensure continued functionality of existing Securly extensions.

What happens if I don't enable MV2 extensions in the Google Admin Console? If the setting to allow MV2 extensions is not enabled, there might be disruptions in the functionality of current Securly extensions, as they are not yet compatible with MV3.

When will Securly release MV3-compliant extensions? Securly is actively working on updating its extensions to MV3. Release dates for these updates will be communicated as they become available. Securly aims to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption to users.
