How to enable MV2 extensions on Chrome (most likely for Ad-Blockers)

Chrome has recently disabled MV2 extensions, but there’s still a working method.

1. Manual (use each time)
   

Press Win + R and paste:
chrome.exe --disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled

Or open CMD and paste:
start chrome.exe --disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled

Chrome will open with MV2 back on. Enable or Load Unpacked MV2 extensions.

1. Automatic on startup
   

Open the Start menu and search for “Chrome.”
Right-click the icon and choose “Open file location.”
Right-click the Chrome shortcut there and select “Properties.”
Under the “Shortcut” tab, find the “Target” field.
At the very end of the path (after the quotes), add a space and this:
--disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled

Example:
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled

Make sure you add it after the quotes, not before them. Save and now whenever you open Chrome, it will support MV2 extensions.
