    I haven't been able to get it working on Chrome, but it still works on Firefox, so there's that. I doubt we'll get it back on Chrome.

    Since Chrome updated this morning I can't use MTS, and that would be fine, but I can't find Hit Forker or Panda Crazy in the Chrome store. Are those something I have to add from somewhere else? I've been using MTS so long I can't remember. I do still have Tampermonkey as an extension.

    Note: This is only for those of you whose MTS doesn't work at all anymore (or you accidentally deleted it). If your MTS still works, don't worry about this for now, just keep using it. Make sure to backup your HIT Tracker data and all those include/block lists in Finder, while you still can. There's a way to move that data over even if your MTS doesn't work anymore, but I won't tell you how caz it's gonna take too long to explain and I'm lazy and fuck you anyways.


    Want to use MTS in Chrome but it doesn't work anymore and now you're depressed and cry yourself to sleep every night? Here's how you can get it to work again (at least for some time, my guess is until at least Chrome version 137-139):


    Step 1.

    Go to chrome://extensions/ and remove MTurk Suite if you still have it installed. Not just disable, but remove.​

    Step 2.
    Go to chrome://flags/ and in the "Search flags" field at the top of the page paste this (w/o quotes, obviously) - "Allow legacy extension manifest versions", then change that flag from Default to Enabled in the dropdown box. Now search for another flag "Extension Manifest V2 Deprecation Unsupported Stage" and change that from Default to Disabled. You'll get a pop-up at the bottom that says you need to restart Chrome, click "Relaunch".

    The two flags you changed should look like this (notice how one is Disabled, the other is Enabled):

    Step 3.
    Once your Chrome restarts, go to this link (it will start a download, wait for it to finish) - Download link

    If after it finishes downloading Chrome suddenly says it can't install this extension, that's fine, just click OK and move to the next step.​

    Step 4.
    Now go to chrome://extensions/ and in the upper right corner toggle Developer Mode ON (if it's not already on).

    Then open your File Explorer (or Finder if on macOS) and go to the folder where you downloaded that file from the last step (probably your Downloads folder; file name is "IGLBAKFOBMOIJPBIGMLFKLCKOGBEFNLF_3_3_2_0.crx").

    Just drag and drop that file from that folder straight into the chrome://extensions/ page in Chrome and then click "Add extension".​


    That should do it. I haven't tested MTS specifically, but this works for other extensions for me (Chrome 134.0.6998.89), so I'd imagine it should work for MTS too.

    P.S. If Chrome at some point disables the extension again and gives you the "MTurk Suite was turned off" pop-up, just click "Manage extension" and then re-enable it.

    Firefox just took it down on my end, but I don't know if a newer version still works. I've been using a previous edition of MTS because I didn't care for the newer one that was launched several years ago. Sigh. I hoped they would leave it alone.

    This is kind of funny, I have an old computer with Windows 7, and Chrome stopped updating at some point because of that. I was able to install MTS from the web store on that old version of Chrome.
