For better security and user experience
Dear Ziniao Browser Extension Developer:
Hello!
To ensure the final data security of Ziniao Browser users and improve the user experience, we hereby publish an important technical migration notice on upgrading the browser extension Manifest V2 (MV2) to Manifest V3 (MV3).
Google has gradually abandoned support for Manifest V2 to promote a safer and more efficient expansion of the ecosystem. As a browser based on the Chromium kernel, Ziniao Browser will synchronize this important update. In order to ensure that the extensions you have developed can serve the majority of users continuously and stably, we strongly urge you to start the migration work immediately.
All official information, technical documents, latest updates and FAQs for this migration will be released through the Ziniao Open Platform. Be sure to use this platform as your number one source for information.
After the transition period ends, the Ziniao browser will start batch-disabling the still running Manifest V2 extension.
We will completely remove support for the Manifest V2 extension in a future release based on Google's official final timeline. By then, all unupgraded MV2 extensions will not be able to run in Ziniao Browser.
Learn about the official complete deprecation plan.
Here is the main technical guide to converting your extension from V2 to V3.
Use this list to track your migration progress and ensure that everything is foolproof.
We will continue to update relevant support documents and announcements here.
We know that migration requires your time and effort. This is a key step to ensure the future availability of your extensions and jointly maintain the health and safety of Ziniao’s ecological environment. Please take action now!
If you have any questions, please contact us through the open platform's work ticket system.
Thank you for your understanding and support!

Make your browsing experience safer and smoother
For your data security and a better browsing experience, we are working with extension developers to upgrade the extension to a safer V3 version. It's like giving your extension a security check and performance optimization.
In most cases, you don't need to do anything. The browser will automatically handle extension updates.
In the coming months, you may find that some older versions of the extensions need to be updated to continue using them. When this happens, you will receive a friendly reminder.
Please rest assured that this is to provide you with better service.
Thank you for your understanding and support!
