The first half of the year saw numerous updates to the Chrome Extensions platform, including the phase-out of Manifest V2, expedited reviews for safe updates using the Declarative Net Request API, and the introduction of a new action.openPopup API available to all extensions. Chrome 126 introduced origin trials in extensions, and developers interacting with YouTube must migrate to Trusted Types by July 2024. Updates also include changes to the side panel UI and new documentation on content filtering and partial rollouts.
