Greetings extension devs,

As we head towards Manifest V3 migration, we are intently monitoring
comments from the developer community to help inform our timelines.
We've heard your feedback on common challenges posed by the
migration, specifically the service worker's inability to use DOM
capabilities and the current hard limit on extension service worker
lifetimes. We're mitigating the former with the Offscreen Documents
API (added in Chrome 109) and are actively pursuing a solution to the
latter.

We're committed to providing developers solutions to migration
challenges with new functionality, bug fixes, and adequate time for
adoption. For this reason, we're postponing any January experiments
to turn off Manifest V2 in pre-release channels of Chrome and changes
to the featured badge in the Chrome Webstore, and we'll be evaluating
all downstream milestones as well. Expect to hear more about the
updated phase-out plan and schedule by March of 2023. Our guiding
principle will be to give developers sufficient time to update and
test their extensions after the launch of these new capabilities
before turning off Manifest V2.

Thank you for all the feedback and passionate discussion thus far,
and we wish you a happy start to 2023.

Simeon - @dotproto
