Issue
The Chrome Manifest V3 extension prior to version 12.61 had issues displaying certain web pages and Google Slides. As a result some customers used the MV2 version as a temporary work-around.
Details
A work-around of side loading the MV2 version of the extension worked as a temporary solution, however MV2 will be disabled by Google beginning July 30, 2025. Chrome 139 will NOT load MV2 extensions.
Using the store version of Netsweeper Client Filter is preferred so updates and fixes are automatically available.
Action Required
