this solution will not last forever, those flags will get removed within a few months most likely(most flags I used to get rid of a bad update were gone in 1-2 months), time to swap browsers or to script version... for me the tampermonkey version happens to be even faster to.

Wait, I did use linkclump for a long time.... Where is the working version? What did you leave here? Do not tease an old man! ;D :D
(Currently using Grabbit... but Linkclump will always be on my heart.)
Edit: oh, I see, I was lacking in reading skills -- you gave the info, I just had to search for linkclump PLUS. "Plus" was the key. Thanks! :D

I can - and have no freezes. Perhaps just a time for a good ole' restart?
Also: When following the instructions you sent the links to, I restarted Chroe after each and every one. Not sure it makes any difference (don't have enough knowledge about these things) but if you didn't then maybe try that if the issue persits?

for those that don't have those flags... go back 1 page in the thread to elions comment

Actually, seeing all the linked posts and the information given there - it does seem like this is only a temp-fix. Google seems adamant to shut us down here....
Firefox already installed. However, I hate change. I'm an old stubborn ass of a man (50+), and I have ADD/ADHD/slight autism issues... Change is HARD for me....
But this?! This pisses me off, and being pissed off comes easy to an old stubborn ass of a man, and drives change in spite of other issues.

That was me also but the other way around. I was already using Firefox and preferred their way of handling bookmarks, but there was a time a while back where some extensions would only release on Chrome or the Firefox version was somewhat limited compared to the chrome version, but was used to firefox already, so ended up sticking with it. Now it's looking like it was a good idea.

From one old stubborn ass of a man to another - Good job.
It doesn't really matter to me that you chose another path than I did - but the fact that you went stubborn on your choice and stuck with it? That shit garners respect. I may not approve of your choices, but I do approve of you and how you protect those very choices - Hahahahahahaha!

I must have missed that time. I've stuck to Firefox for 20+ years (and previously used Mozilla). The most irritating changes I had to endure was when they copied some features from chrome, like moving the tabs to top. The only time I launch chrome is for all these apps like geforcenow or luna (so a couple times a year).

I had the same problem, nearly switched to Firefox... but still managed to install ESGST using SquishedPotatoe' userscript version with Tampermonkey.

Either once the solution above stops working for you or now:

Yesterday, ESGST stopped working for me on Chrome, but I applied the "--disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled" Target input and it was working again.
Fast forward to today and even though the Target input is still there, ESGST isn't working anymore. Any other ideas? :(

As far as I know, Manifest v2 extension can still work if "Allow legacy extension manifest versions" (and maybe m138 and m139 as well) parameter is enabled (in chrome://flags/#temporary-unexpire-flags-m137) and the extension is loaded as unpacked
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I just enabled the parameters but I'm not sure what you mean by loading ESGST as unpacked.

With development mode on, you can load and install extension from a folder. I believe I saw a link to the zip file around
P.S. ...Or maybe I'm wrong and there's no zip version of extension :(
You can use userscript version as mentioned just above. This is probably the easiest solution

Unfortunately, it did not work as I am met with the following message:
"Cannot install extension because it uses an unsupported manifest version."
Comment has been collapsed.
Both flags (m138 and m139) are enabled, but now I have also enabled the "Allow legacy extension manifest versions" option and the "Cannot install extension because it uses an unsupported manifest version." error disappeared, which allowed me to load the unpacked version of ESGST that I found on GitHub.
However, even though Chrome finally installs the unpacked version of the extension, I now have an "Errors" button right next to "Details" and "Remove" and upon entering the "Errors" section, I am met with the following message:
"Manifest version 2 is deprecated, and support will be removed in 2025. See https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate/mv2-deprecation-timeline for details."
And the above message is then followed by a huge raw error message text under it.
And no, the extension is still not working.

Just ran REGEDIT as an Admin, tried both Hexadecimal and Decimal options, restarted Chrome both times and it's still not working.
EDIT:
IT'S WORKING AGAIN!
I had missed one zero, specifically the very first one, upon the copy-paste process.
THANK YOU!

I honestly have no idea what combination from everything you suggested ended up solving the issue, but what I do know is that after following every single step you mentioned, it's working again.
Appreciate the help.

That's also a good way to go about it.
I just followed @jm's instructions above and it's working again on Chrome.
For how long, though? That, I do not know, which is why I have already set up Opera with everything SteamGifts related, just in case.

Google completely shut off ESGST, cannot switch it back on anymore.
