With Manifest V3 being rolled out to most people after the recent update, a lot of people are finding that extensions that they like to use haven't been updated and won't be available to use when Manifest V2 support ends.
Since we've been getting a lot of posts asking for extension alternatives, we figure it'll be easier if most of the suggestions are all in one place.
To start with the obvious:
uBlock Origin: Can be replaced with uBlock Origin lite.
Don't forget you can change the filtering level up from its base.
uBlock Origin (Element zapping): Click to Remove Element.
I personally prefer this one out of all the ones in the web store.
I previously recommended an element zapper to replace that functionality in uBlock Origin lite, but uBlock Origin lite has since added custom filters and an element zapper, so a separate extension is no longer needed.
This is not a thread to recommend other browsers, it should be a given that if you don't want to use Chrome, you don't need to use Chrome, and there's plenty of other sources to help you decide what to switch to.
Edit: This megathread is still able to be used, will remake it if needed but it's not necessary yet.
This megathread has been closed for a refresh of the post, please go to the new post for extension alternatives.
Does anyone know an alternative for [Count me up lite - Word and character counter]
I just need a simple "Highlight + R-Click" that displays the word count of what I highlight.
Alternatives that I have found require me to open a new pop-up window to show the word count.
I just want a Light word counter that shows up on my right-click menu.
For the Imagus extension, there is an Imagus Mod version that works on Manifest V3: https://www.reddit.com/r/imagus/comments/1j6ifcf/what_to_do_if_chrome_disabled_imagusimagus_mod/
I updated the "Watchmarker for Youtube" extension and republished it here:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/youtube-watchmarker-v3-re/phoakahhndaanafnmallehjodhldlkgp
Old version is https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/watchmarker-for-youtube/pfkkfbfdhomeagojoahjmkojeeepcolc
Note: I am not the original author. The extension was abandoned and it wasn't supporting manifest v3.
RIP Chrome. Today it disabled "ExtensionManifestV2Availability" for me. It took me an hour to migrate to Brave. Frankly, I should have done it a long time ago. I was just putting it off because Chrome continued to work with my favorite V2 extensions. But not anymore. Thank you Google!
https://i.imgur.com/CjK4oE2.png
with those except the third one that is not related, they still work.
anyway, with brave will happen soon also, just months later.
I've used nothing but Chrome for the last 16 years but today, that has come to an end. I restarted my computer, which made Google update Chrome, which dragged that V3 crap with it. I'm now with Firefox and I'll stay there until they change back(they won't).
i uninstalled chrome and went with firefox. google want to play games, let them win prizes.
REALLY need an alternative to Simple Mass Downloader. It was great, I could use it to manage downloads, if I had 10 downloads going and all were super slow, I could use it to make chrome do one download at a time. It could also download all the images from multiple tabs of my choosing all at once.
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/simple-mass-downloader/abdkkegmcbiomijcbdaodaflgehfffed
Redirector extension V3 alternative.
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/redirector/lioaeidejmlpffbndjhaameocfldlhin
Looking for an alternative to Fuskr, if there’s one out there. It was removed from the Chrome store a few years ago but didn’t stop working until Manifest V2 went away. I’m assuming that because of this there’s no extension (or no official extension) but I’d still love to find something.
[removed]
no 🥰
Does anybody know alternative to "Favorites - New Tab Page" ?
Does anybody know alternative to "Grayscale the web"? It made pages black and white, literally my most important extension
I used to use a similar extension called "Midnight Lizard" that let me change colors on the webpage with preset themes. If you find anything similar please let me know, I have no alternative yet.
Midnight Chameleon https://github.com/tamir-nakar/Midnight-Lizard#
Albeit you have to build it yourself but it doesn't take too long to get through. It is going to be published to the webstore soon.
Thanks! I have no idea how to build it myself, so I will wait for the webstore version. But I'm glad to see the extension is still being worked on.
So, as of today 24/7 manifestv2 is permanently disabled. How much worse is ublock origin lite? Is there any point in trying to use chrome anymore or is the only reasonable move to swap to Firefox?
Do you happen to know which version of chrome you were updated to where it finally removed all support for manifest v2? I wanna know so I can download a more updated ungoogled chrome and still use manifest v2
https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-binaries/
I don't know, but honestly I would recommend against that. It means you can never upgrade your browser, which is not a good thing - you won't get security updates that patch exploits and vulnerabilities. You will also be using old versions of extensions which can have additional vulnerabilities. At that point it makes more sense to just swap browser to non-chromium or look into something like Brave which iirc is trying to keep some of the manifestv2 AdBlock abilities
I did confirm that version 138.0.7204.183-1 from https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-binaries/releases/windows/64bit/ does in fact support v2 manifest.
If you're worried about security, I'm sure you could sandbox/jail Chrome on Windows somehow and utilize MS firewall/defender and maybe even something like Portmaster from https://safing.io/
Plus, running uBlock origin should stop any dodgy sites from ever reaching you.
Also, it is open source, has 23k stars on Github and the patches are like 500 lines of code max, and I'm sure you can compile it yourself if you really wanted to.
Obv if you're in a secured network like at your place of work, you wouldn't use a patched version of chromium, but at home, I can't possibly see the issue.
If the repo maintainers keep the old versions updated manually it might work for a while, but sooner or later security patches won't be applicable because the code base will shift. And the browser patches won't help protect you against insecure extensions which sooner or later won't be able to update since you're running an older browser version. Ublock origin is not a security extension and won't protect you against browser/application vulns, but sandboxing the application would provide an additional layer of security. It's not unbeatable though, and the longer you keep running like this the less secure it will be.
Basically, it might work for a while but it's not a long-term solution to the problem. And if you're gonna go to the trouble of sandboxing etc, why not just swap to Firefox or something instead?
I just use brave browser with ublock origin (MV2 is still allowed there)
How long will they be able to keep MV2 running? Did they provide any date for that?
I didn't have any issues with the lite version.
I need help finding an alternative to replace Automatic Twitch drops

I would like to say I just switched over to Firefox yesterday on my computer and android, and I'm so damn happy. All of those "how do you remove, and how do I go back to" questions you've had to find workaround fixes for over the past 5 years? Well, holy crap... no more. I should have switched back forever ago.
I know this is not a thread to recommend other browsers, but I'm just here to urge you all that these workarounds are not worth it. Just bite the bullet.
I just switched, thanks to uBlock not working anymore, and there's lots of things I like a lot more than chrome so far. I really like how video pop-out works on YouTube specifically, I can see the video time in the pop-out and other things.
Use a systemwide adblocker like Adguard or Portmaster or use brave or opera That's all we can do right now
UBO Lite is like using a condom with only one hole in it.
RIP Chrome.
Much like a sock, a condom is supposed to have a hole in it.
Well, topologically speaking, a condom doesn't actually have a hole. A "hole" is something that prevents a space from being continuously deformed into a simpler one without tearing or gluing, or if you want the "smart" definition, it is a topological feature captured by nontrivial homology or homotopy groups, representing an obstruction to contracting cycles of some dimension (which probably doesn't mean much, so I prefer the former). In that sense, the "hole" you speak of in terms of a condom can be thought of as more of a "really deep indent that doesn't pierce".
Picture a bowl full of dough. You can tap the mixture gently with your finger to create a small indent, right? Well, if you keep pushing your finger down, the indent will keep getting larger and larger. This is a continuous process, so at which point does the indent turn into a hole? Well, topologically, it doesn't. Not unless you *pierce* your hand all the way through and create a 2nd opening.
In that sense, the opening of a condom is really just a dent.
Touche!
As a streamer I use the twitch DVR player constantly, and apparently it's no longer supported. I'm not seeing any alternatives, any suggestions?

Any alternatives for Remote Torrent Adder? Unfortuntately, the developer doesn't seem too keen on updating the extension to V3.
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/remote-torrent-adder/oabphaconndgibllomdcjbfdghcmenci?hl=en
https://github.com/bogenpirat/remote-torrent-adder
TIA!
The dev says he's started a rewrite but not to expect anything soon.
https://github.com/bogenpirat/remote-torrent-adder/issues/353#issuecomment-3065967732
yeah, I just saw that too, but since he's been sitting on it while people have been opening tickets about it for so long, that I have very little hope that he will actually come through with it... especially given how much of the codebase will have to be re-written, if it is actually even possible to do using Manifest V3.
did you find another solution yet?
Unfortunately, no.
What do?

thanks so much for this! worked post new july 2025 chrome update!
I had to replace Violentmonkey with Tampermonkey. Tampermonkey is not open-source, which is a concern, but I care more about being able to use userscripts. At some point a V3-compliant open-source script-applier will appear. It may even be Tampermonkey.
You can try scriptcat
How to Add UBlock Origin Back to Chrome (DO NOT FOLLOW THIS VIDEO)
https://youtu.be/P0F7muWbQa8
Try "alternative solution" listed in OP.
https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1j2ec76/ublock_origin_is_gone/?sort=new
SOLUTION
This change to Chrome will allow you to use Manifest V2 Extensions. Here is how you can still use Ublock Origin by changing a few settings in Chrome.
Open Chrome and go to chrome://flags/
In the search bar type "manifest". Enable the feature "Allow legacy extension manifest versions". Then relaunch Chrome. This will allow you to load ANY older manifest V2 extension.
Now download the latest stable version of Ublock Origin from it's Github. The current version is uBlock0_1.65.0.chromium.zip. Extract the zipfile to a folder.
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases
Next go Chrome Extensions at chrome://extensions
On this screen in the right corner toggle DEVELOPER MODE.
You can now manually load any extension.
Click on LOAD UNPACKED. Then go to the folder where you extracted Ublock Oriigin and select it.
Chrome should manually install Ublock Origin. You should see it in your list of extensions. Make sure it's toggled on. If not manually toggle it on. Now just restart Chrome and it should work perfectly.
I just did this so if you have any questions or issues reply to this post and I will try to help.
Thank you
I came here to post my video noticed it follows your post almost word for word. I spent some time looking around at how to dl and update ublock the INSTANT it stopped working for me.
Hope it helps! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0F7muWbQa8
Absolute chad.
This fixed a few of my extensions at once.. without having to edit them one by one.
Disclaimer: I don't know anything about anything, proceed accordingly.
I got snoozz to work again to recover my snoozed tabs by following the instructions given by /u/GamerFan2012 above (thank you!) and pointing to the existing plugin's directory1 as the source for the unpacked extension.
I had to edit the manifest.json file to change the line
to
That was enough to get me into the extension settings and to the snoozed tab list (which is all I care about).
1) This was
for me, but you can find it by searching for the directory where the file nap_room.js is and then go upwards from there.
Tried this on Alternate Twitch Viewer.. didn't work. Some error about security settings. I had to flag for legacy manifests. Works now.
Man, what an absolute shitshow this is.
Trimless for gmail,
because having to click and expand every second email into a new window is workflow killing (to the degree that I'm about to abandon my gmail address of decades and move to microsoft 365).Code is here: https://github.com/alecmev/trimless-gmailThis code makes it Manifest V3 compliant, but hasn't been merged and published to the store.I bumped the github thread asking for manifest V3 merges to be done.Dev has updated to Manifest V3.
Image-Toolbar, because multiple clicks just to download images is another workflow killer (to the degree I'm being forced to dump chrome for brave where said extension mostly still works).
Code is not open, I've emailed the developer.
Image Autosizer, because being able to scale an image up to actually see it shouldn't be a big deal.
I can live without this one, but it would be nice to have.
Any alternative to Plain Text Linker ?
Please TT_TT
Any viable V3 alternative for Sci-Hub X Now!? For the moment I have been able to reenable V2 using flags but that will soon be impossible...
It doesn't already support manifest V3?
The readme has instructions to install from source if the web store version isn't up to date:
https://github.com/gchenfc/sci-hub-now?tab=readme-ov-file#manual-installation-instructions
That it quite curious why it didn't work for me. Well, I will retry if my Chrome updates (for the moment I have managed to stop it from looking updates up). Thanks for the heads-up!
I need something to replace Web Search Navigator Link
Are there any good alternatives to Font Changer with support for custom fonts? I wanted to like change the font for the site on my end while others have to stick to the site's default font.
any Picarto notifier alternative?
I have the Lite version but everything seems to cause problems :(
This thread seems to be 3 monts old, anything new?
edit: Twitch is kinda unusable for me since the latest update in particular, Youtube gives me problems too. I am a boomer for stuff like this so i usualy come here to see help, this place helped me in the past
Is there a working alternative to Violentmonkey? I know about Tampermonkey, but it doesn’t work well. It keeps crashing and stops working all the time.

AutoplayStopper
Linkclump
The Marvellous Suspender
Twitch Fullscreen Plus
I am hanging out for a replacement for AutoplayStopper too. the internet is a cesspool of intrusive HTML5 crap without it.
For The Marvellous Suspender, Tiny Suspender, etc. See:
https://github.com/rkodey/the-great-er-discarder-er
It can do both discarding and suspending, and it can migrate tabs from other extensions (even when they are disabled).
I tried The Great-er Discarder-er, but it was either missing features or it wasn't functioning properly for auto unsuspending tabs. I tried multiple alternatives so I can't remember which was the gamebreaker.
The Marvellous Suspender thankfully found some help and is in the process of being rebuilt for Man v3
The Greater Discarder was heavily updated recently. When I tried a couple of months earlier it only supported discarding, now it also supports suspending, and there are a lot of other features, you may want to check it out again in the meantime that The Marvellous Suspender gets updated (if it ever happens - I certainly hope they complete the update).
New version (8.x) of The Marvellous Suspender that is compatible with v3 is now publicly available - https://github.com/gioxx/MarvellousSuspender/discussions/254. The developer of The Greater Discarder provided help and support to make this happen, which is awesome for everyone who uses it. Make sure to save current session prior to updating to recover from any failures during the (major) update.
welp figure I would ask for this one
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/image-toolbar/cpgaepnhfockgofcejphihfafgmenofb
Image-toolbar, effectively all it does is add a little place to click on an image to click so the image downloads. I have no idea how such basic function is so hard to find an alternative for.
This is a huge part of my workflow and whilst it installs in Brave I cannot get it to save without prompting for filename when it doesn't have to.
Edit - it works perfectly in edge.
Since this hasn't been updated to comply with Manifest V3 as of yet, is there an alternative for this extension?
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/alternate-player-for-twit/bhplkbgoehhhddaoolmakpocnenplmhf
Adguard (desktop version)
Hi, is there an alternative for this one?
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/new-domain-in-new-tab/nokdeeoiaiicgnonknihiccadnnmpeoh
I was using word counter plus extension which was used by a lot of people. But it is no longer supported. So I made my own extension which is similar to original.
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/word-counter-plus/ockonfdfcanonnajjchhapbiahlhjeej
Is it possible to add an option to simplify things even more? Instead of a pop-up menu.
Just have the word and character counter appear on the right-click menu instead.
Snoozz can be replaced with Delayo https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/delayo/egbfkigkgocjmahcdmigccelneabbajh
Any idea how to retrieve my snoozed tab data from snoozz?
edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/1j6ne35/megathread_manifest_v3_extension_alternatives/n2vyyhw/ is the method I used.
You can also try Snoozr https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/snoozr/neanmknihhggolpkilgbcjhnijhnabdl
a lot of people asked me about yet another speed dial -- google doesn't make it easy on us indie devs, but it's back with manifest v3!
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/yet-another-speed-dial/imohnlganmafcmidafklgkgfgaagiohn
I made Scribble - an extension to auto-save text you write in textareas.
I know there were some extensions that did this but were no longer supported and then unavailable from the Web Store with Manifest v3.
So if there was anyone using something like that, here you go: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/scribble/mieidolpkiphdijnikagjbdpfphahpoo
There are some useful extensions which need an update to MV3: Disqus Downvote Hider, Force Custom Fonts, Full Width Image, AutoPlay Stopper and Open Links in the same tab.
There are replacements for the latter two but they're not as good as the original extensions.
So are there any easy ways to totally transfer my Chrome user experience to Firefox to its best ability to provide it? I.e. profile import/export with extensions etc. I'm sure it works for 90% of things already, but extensions are probably a no-go?How about that, it's already supported out-of-the-box. Could not get all of my extensions but the majority of them. Awesome!
Any alternatives for the marvelous suspender?
You should switch to suspending using Chrome/Edge's built in Tab Discarding mechanism.
The best extension I found was called "The Great-er Tab Discarder", I just bound alt+s to suspend current tab and set the suspending timing in the settings and it's working great.
There are some differences but you won't lose tabs because of this tab unlike with the older suspension method.
Guys, I should recommend the best alternative to Webtime Tracker

Any suggested alts for "Snoozz - Snooze Tabs & Windows for later" ?
I used it to open half dozen tabs every morning including my emails, and anything I wanted to be checked daily.
I was able to group entire projects of research into a window then Snooze that window for a month until I had more time to invest.
I just switched to this one that seems really nice, but time will tell: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/anysnooze/mebjcmajkcccdjbonefhlbkledilfnjj
The natural language parsing of when you want to snooze until is impressive, and being able to attach notes is very handy too.
Tab Snooze is back: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tab-snooze-manifest-v3/kgnigbfnfjgpfaiaafcbgdkpalapiinb
thanks for suggesting this. I tried it for a few days and am disappointed mostly by not being able to snooze multiple tabs at once (unless I'm missing something). probably just going to add the tabs to a group I can open and close.
Anyone have a good alternative to "awesome new tab page"? i just want to be able to have an easy way to create a ton of bookmarks to my frequent sites when I open a new tab.
Hi u/supergman007 - I'm the developer of Awesome New Tab Page. Sorry for being so terribly late about it, but it has been updated for Manifest v3 now. Some issues remain and I'll be uploading an update to address them in the coming weeks (like import/export), but it is mostly ok now. Stay awesome! :)
Firefox with new awesome tab or vanilla firefox
With Chrome 134 Google offers a flag allowing extensions with legacy (unsupported) manifest versions to be loaded as unpacked extensions.
Just use Firefox, for years you have been told that Google's plan with Chromium was to come to this, but for convenience you turned your backs on Firefox. Now, it's time to get back on the right track.
It's the truth. Things will only get worse from here on out, just look at how much they crack down on Youtube.
Currently using Chrome, Vivaldi, Opera and Firefox, each one for something. I still want Chrome to keep working.
Any alternative to Video Resumer ? It does not seem to be working
Firefox
Switched from ffox to brave after years of ffox use.
back to firefox, it will be liberating.

A better alternative to uBlock for MV3 is AdGuard: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/adguard-adblocker/bgnkhhnnamicmpeenaelnjfhikgbkllg
It has console logger, element picker, custom rules etc.
Basically most stuff that MV2 uBlock has, keeping in mind the restrictions of MV3.
AdGuard Extra troubleshooting plugin comes handy to deal with the MV3 limitations.
Yeah, Adguard is quite active in developing the MV3 version. And it works pretty well.
Why was uBlock Origin lite unable to port this feature over but Click to Remove Element can?
UBOL can have element pickers and custom filters under MV3. They just haven't bothered to make a MV3-compliant version of UBO and the Lite is meant to be lite. There's also nothing stopping them from forking their own version of Chromium that has UBO built in, similar to Brave's blocker.
Personally the ONLY site I frequent (and I only frequent it because I have to for work) that I miss the custom filters for is X. UBOL works perfectly on every other site. But I hate seeing trending topics on X and that was how I used to hide them. Thankfully there is an X extension that does this instead.
It requires permissions. uBlock Origin Lite was designed to be permission-less. It asks for permissions if you put it on Optimal or Complete mode.
Also, note this: Manifest V2 deprecation timeline
Anyone know good alternative to Pushbullet
For notifications or messaging?
Notifications, sending tabs and messaging. I know you can send tabs natively but it does not as reliable especially if you send multiple tabs, does not automatically open sent tabs, if you close the popup it is gone forever, and there is no sent links history.
Re: Messaging, I've fully switched to Beeper. It's a separate .exe, and it hooks into Google Messages so I don't need to install anything on my phone. Only PC. I highly recommend it.
For tabs, I usually just check the history on my phone (it's like, 3 extra steps), but it works just fine as a stopgap. There probably is some extension that makes pushing to mobile easier, but I'm fine with just sticking to history.
More like Microthread... So many things are permanently broken or hobbled by this "improvement".
Searching for alternatives for these two:
Tabman Tabs Manager (deleted, vertical tabs)
Tidy Bookmarks (last updated 2017!)
They were so simple and worked fine. I tried a couple alternatives some years ago and were terrible: slow, cluttered with unnecessary features. One even opened an error page in the popup...
I don't know Tabman, but from what I've quickly seen, isn't it the same as what Chrome now has by default? (Image)
Almost, but no. Tabman keeps the tabs ordered, and you can manually sort them. It also opens the popup scrolled on the current tab. In Chrome they are sorted by recent.
I have like 300 tabs right now. With this other addon: Tab Position Customizer - Modified, new tabs are opened at the right of the current tab, so they all are already in related sections. For me, it's easier and faster that groups or similar (from vivaldi/opera).
When Firefox Panorama was a thing (2013?), I used Pano, another addon that did exactly the same (vertical tabs weren't a thing back then!) I changed to Chrome after the old FF addons were dropped, so I'm really used to this.
Any viable alternatives to HoverZoom / Imagus ?
I've searched the WebStore and could not find any (which is mindboggling to me).
If it helps, Edge has it natively, just double press Ctrl key when hovering an image.
It looks like r/imagus has some workarounds listed on their subreddit. I don't personally use that extension but would probably choose the non MV2 version listed, since the MV2 workaround is temporary. (Cannot vouch for privacy of these options mind you).
I second this, I was coming back to Chrome, but not having Imagus sealed the deal.
Ublock Origin lite is enough for my usage.
