Google on Tuesday announced the stable channel release of Chrome 88, which includes support for an extension platform revision known as Manifest v3.

Manifest v3 was announced in October, 2018, as part of a broad effort to overhaul the security of various Google products and services. The term refers to the manifest.json file, one of several files in a Chrome extension, through which the developer declares the APIs and permissions necessary for the extension to function.

Version 3 redefines the scope and capabilities of the APIs available to those creating extensions for Google's Chrome web browser.
