Google PlayStore tells that IDM extension may soon no longer be supported. Why does it happen? Will IDM keep working in Chrome?
IDM Integration Module extension still works! Do not worry, IDM will not stop working and we will keep supporting Chrome.
This warning is shown for plugins that do not support Manifest 3 standard yet. We will release extension update with support of this manifest in nearest time. So, our extension will continue to work normally and there is no reason to worry.
Please note that the functionality of Manifest 3 is worse than the current Manifest 2 version of extension. Google limited many functions in Manifest 3, they took them away from extension developers.
For example, we cannot try to take over downloads on request and then return the download back to Chrome if it's not IDM download. Google specifically disallowed it in Manifest 3. That's the reason we are still not switching to Manifest 3 version of extension.
