Upgrading ChromeOS to a version that supports MV3

As of June 2024, Google will stop allowing Chrome Extensions based on the Manifest V2 (MV2) framework to run and only allow those using Manifest V3 (MV3). ChromeOS version 110 (released in January 2023) is the minimum version that can support Linewize Connect for Chrome Extension using the MV3 extension framework.

You can manually determine the ChromeOS version of all your devices by visiting the Google Chrome Auto Update Policy page.

Updating the ChromeOS version

• If your devices are not supported, follow Deploying Linewize Connect for Chrome Extension to update your devices to the Linewize self-hosted MV3 version, which Linewize will provide extended support.
• If your devices are supported, follow Update your Chromebook’s operating system to update the ChromeOS version manually.
• If your devices should support later versions of Chrome but cannot update it, follow Manage updates on ChromeOS devices to ensure your settings are correct.
