Fix Unsupported Chrome Extensions

Proxy SwitchyOmega stopped working in Chrome because Chrome 138 fully disabled Manifest V2 extensions. The closest migration path is ZeroOmega, a community fork designed for Manifest V3. FoxyProxy is another established option with advanced proxy management features. Both are available on the Chrome Web Store.

Classic uBlock Origin stopped working in Chrome 138+ because Chrome disabled Manifest V2 extensions. For many Chrome users, uBlock Origin Lite is the closest MV3-compatible option from the same developer, but it does not replicate every feature of the original extension. Firefox remains a practical option for users who need full classic uBlock Origin functionality, since Firefox still supports MV2 extensions. Avoid installing random CRX copies of classic uBlock Origin from unofficial sources, because modified extensions can create privacy and security risks. The MV3-compatible ad blocker space is actively developed, and other options like AdGuard AdBlocker and Adblock Plus are available in the Chrome Web Store.

The original Great Suspender was removed from the Chrome Web Store after a malicious version incident in 2021, and Chrome proactively disabled it for installed users. Users should avoid reinstalling old CRX copies from mirror sites because modified versions can contain unwanted code. For most Chrome users, Chrome Memory Saver is the simplest built-in replacement for tab suspension. Auto Tab Discard is a practical extension alternative for automatic tab unloading, while OneTab is better for manual tab consolidation and Workona is more focused on workspace management. The best option depends on whether you want automatic suspension, simple memory savings, or session organization.

ModHeader continues to work as an MV3-compatible extension for Chrome. It allows developers to modify HTTP request and response headers for testing and development. Alternatives like Requestly offer additional API testing features, while Header Editor provides similar header modification capabilities.

DownThemAll remains available and actively maintained for Chrome as an MV3-compatible extension. It provides batch downloading and download management features. For simpler needs, Chrome native downloads or alternatives like Chrono Download Manager offer different workflows.
