>>105867581 (OP)no, Google disabled the extension manifest V2 from the public branch, because manifest V3 has been out for a good while and no one wanted to update their extensions to use it
you can use
$path = "registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome"; New-Item $path -Force; Set-ItemProperty $path -Name ExtensionManifestV2Availability -Value 2
in admin powershell to fix it and have everything working again, until Google removes V2 from the client for good
or alternatively do what this anon said
