Pertains to user scripts injected by MV3 extensions. Noticed this when my Tampermonkey extension updated today with this message:

Enabling developer mode will soon become mandatory for running userscripts via Tampermonkey.

Not a big deal for me, I have extension dev mode on all the time, but ymmv.

Some discussion here: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-extensio...

It simply puts up friction for the non-technical user from adopting these user scripts. The stated goal of google is to prevent malware from extensions, but i suspect the real goal is of course, prevent the browser from being changed by the user in a way that google doesn't like.

They already make it hard enough that you need to get an extension to run extensions. That's so lame.
