On Fedora Workstation, it must be possible to install and remove
extensions by visiting https://extensions.gnome.org in the default web
browser, after installing the required browser extension.

Do folks think this is important enough to block Final release on?
Assuming the desktop folks don't say "OMG there's no way we could
handle this", then I'm on board with making this a final criterion.
This is one of those "we'll get dragged in reviews if it doesn't work"
sorts of things.

The wording looks good to me. I'm trying to think of an escape hatch
we can give ourselves if it goes particularly sideways at some point,
but maybe the "difficult to fix" exception would be good enough.


As I explained previously to Adam, you *can* install the few extensions that have been updated for GNOME 43, but what you *can't* do is use any of the other new functionality on extensions.gnome.org. They used to show you what those functions were, but they were greyed out (IIRC, one of them allowed you to disable compatibility checks so that you could install any extension - broken or not). I don't recall what the other one was, because the options are removed for anyone not on the current API.

This message currently appears on the website with GNOME 42 in Fedora 36 and 37.

"Your native host connector do not support following APIs: v6. Probably you should upgrade native host connector or install plugins for missing APIs. Referdocumentation <https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeShellIntegrationForChrome/Installation>for instructions."
