Selenium IDE extension not available on Chrome

Hi Team,

We have synthetics monitoring in place and I could see today that selenium IDE extension in removed from Chrome browser and even I am unable to download the extension now.

Getting a message 'This extension is no longer available because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome Extensions'. 

I am not sure if LM has any other plan for this. I have even raised a case with LM support.

For now, we are unable to test any existing checks or even can't create new website checks.

    You should be fine to continue to use the ChromeDriver and Chrome browser for testing (just not recording).

    Most likely this is due to the Manifest v2 deprecation that Chrome is pushing. Have you looked into Firefox?

      Haven't checked on Firefox. But Manifest v2 deprecation showing timeline as of June 2025. https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate/mv2-deprecation-timeline

        You have to manually enable stuff from what I was reading. They killed uBlock Origin for example and the way around it is to manually enable it again.

        This issue is a Chrome issue, not a LogicMonitor issue.
