"Cannot install extension because it uses an unsupported manifest version."

Getting this error while trying to install the extension on chrome version 142.0.7444.135 (Official Build) (arm64). Am I missing something?

[dhowe]

have you followed the instructions here?

Yes I get this error under the "Install AdNauseam" section, step 5.
I extracted the file in my user profile folder where chrome stores user data. Does that matter?

When the error occurs:

• Chrome is loaded as admin after running the command to disable the unsupported extension manifest
• The Zip extension is loaded in my user profile under chrome userdata
• Developer mode is ticked

The instructions here worked for me today. Can you give that a try?

If you're on Windows (not mac, so 'open' doesn't work), then I'd recommend changing target in your Chrome shortcut to:

""C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled"

(Or Program Files(x86) depending on where your install is)

And then open chrome with that shortcut.

Sorry I haven't responded. I will try this and get back to you.
