Updating Chrome gets extensions to break (v. 122)

8 pointsby urlwolfabout 1 year ago
After updating chrome (on ubuntu, installed through the google .deb file), several extensions stopped to work.<p>Example: - Autoscroll https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chromewebstore.google.com&#x2F;detail&#x2F;autoscroll&#x2F;occjjkgifpmdgodlplnacmkejpdionan&#x2F;reviews<p>- Dark reader (clicking the icon shows a screen with a progress bar and no options, although it does change css) https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chromewebstore.google.com&#x2F;detail&#x2F;dark-reader&#x2F;eimadpbcbfnmbkopoojfekhnkhdbieeh<p>Anyone knows why? Is this my setup, or happening for everyone? Did chrome make a big breaking change?

Most likely it’s all the privacy changes . Try disabling some of the chrome:&#x2F;&#x2F;flags - they broke BroadcastChannel and many other features in 121, so I wouldn’t be surprised if your issue is more breaking changes in 122… the really shitty thing IMO is because of auto update they now can at a anytime break business applications without any regard to the financial impact.
