Custom Integrations have disappeared

[willrowe]

• OS version: MacOS 12.6.5
• Browser version: Chrome 112.0.5615.137
• Extension version: 3.0.3

Relevant integration (if any): custom integrations

🐛 Describe the bug

After updating to v3 of the extension all of my custom integrations and the development mode option have disappeared. This completely broke my daily workflow.

Expected behaviour

Able to have custom integrations.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Open the extension option and go to 'Integrations'.
2. There used to be a 'Custom Integrations' section with an 'Enable development mode' checkbox and the ability to 'Add integration'.

Other details or context

I ended up rolling back to v2.0.20, but lost all of my custom integrations in the process.

I'm on 3.0.5 and there is still no "Enable development mode" checkbox.

Could someone from Toggl give some insight into whether this functionality will be restored in v3? The abrupt auto-update wiped out all my settings and constantly tries to update back to v3 after I roll it back to v2. It is becoming increasingly frustrating and reduces the usefulness of Toggl for me.

Where did the feature of adding custom Integrations go?

We recently had to perform a mandatory update to our Browser Extensions (both at Chrome Web Store and Firefox Browser Add-ons) in order to comply with Manifest v3. Manifest v3 is currently not supporting custom scripts on the user's side.

This is really unfortunate. The only reason why I'm using toggl was the feature of being able to add the toggl button wherever I need it.
I really hope there will be an update on this soon.

Is there any update on this?

It looks like they are trying to get the browsers to add support back in: https://support.toggl.com/en/articles/2206984-toggl-track-browser-extension#:~:text=We%20acknowledge%20this%20is%20an%20important%20limitation%20for%20the%20Track%20Extension%20and%20we%20are%20coordinating%20with%20Google%20Chrome%20and%20Mozilla%20Firefox%20support%20to%20provide%20us%20with%20an%20alternative%20solution%20to%20the%20earliest%20possible.

It also looks like Toggl also just killed access to people using 2.0.20...the old version of the extension isn't detecting my login anymore or working properly for me on either Mac Chrome or Windows Edge now...see #2308

Well that sucks, thanks Google, Mozilla, et al. It's not like they didn't know for a long time that Manifest v3 was going to bork loads of popular extensions, and people were begging them not to change it. But they just plowed on ahead heedless of warnings.

It looks like Tampermonkey was able to work around the issue: Tampermonkey/tampermonkey#644

See: https://www.tampermonkey.net/faq.php#Q209, https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/userScripts.

Howcome this has also been removed for extension users in Firefox, which is not removing Manfest V2?

"Firefox, however, has no plans to deprecate MV2 and will continue to support MV2 extensions for the foreseeable future. And even if we re-evaluate this decision at some point down the road, we anticipate providing a notice of at least 12 months for developers to adjust accordingly and not feel rushed."

I was hoping to write up and contribute an integration for Google Tasks but can't see it being worth the effort with no dev mode.

This is a real blocker, how are we supposed to test updates to extensions?
