According to Brave Search (Answer with AI):
Current Development Status - has changed
OLD NEWS:
Official Stance: The official Violentmonkey website states that a Manifest V3 rewrite “is not planned for the foreseeable future” due to the “considerable effort involved and the potential for losing existing features.”
GitHub Activity: The primary feature request for Manifest V3 support (Issue #1934) has been open since October 2023 with over 150 comments but no commits or branches indicating active migration work. Recent issues (e.g., #2340 from July 2025) confirm the extension remains stuck on Manifest V2 and is now disabled in modern Chromium browsers.
Developer Sentiment: Community discussions and forum posts indicate the developers are reluctant to update, citing technical hurdles such as Manifest V3’s ban on remotely hosted code (a core feature for userscript managers) and the complexity of rewriting the extension without losing functionality.
