Manifest v3 update: Vivaldi is future-proofed with its built-in functionality


Google is forcing an update from manifest v2 to v3. With the most important functionality built into Vivaldi, it will have a limited impact. Those running extensions not supporting v3 will be affected.

Chromium, the open-source engine on which Vivaldi is based, has announced that its extension format has changed. But inevitably, this means that any extension whose author hasn’t updated their code to the new format will stop working. Here at Vivaldi, it’s always been our policy to build the most important functionality into the browser, so you don’t have to trust an unknown third party and worry that it’s in danger of going away.
