“Your native host connector do not support following APIs: v6. Probably you should upgrade native host connector or install plugins for missing APIs. Refer documentation for instructions.”
PLEASE give a definitive answer how to fix as this has gone on too long with no straight answers.
Thanks to all who care enough to help get it right.
this has gone on too long with no straight answers.
You mean two hours since you wrote the post? And you already resort to sending out private mail?
Anyway, this message looks like a pretty good bet:
Probably you should upgrade native host connector
In particular as the version included in Debian stable is four years old. From the website mentioned in the error message, it sounds like you want gnome-browser-connector nowadays, which is only in Debian testing.
Check your installed packages; if you have chrome-gnome-shell that is too old to work with the website. As Florian answered above you need gnome-browser-connector instead. Availability depends on your distro release.
Or you could install the Extension Manager flatpak, which doesn’t need the host connector.
For “Mr. Müllner’s” part, he is not the corporate point of contact for your service contract. He is free to maintain, not maintain, or maintain intermittently at his personal whimsy. He is not paid by the GNOME Foundation, or the GNOME community, and has no binding obligations here.
In your time here you’ve called people names, demanded service, made condescending remarks about our contributors and generally acted like you are somehow more important than the rest of us. If this is what you call respectful behaviour, then I think you should just find another community to engage in.
