[QUOTE="South Park, post: 966018, member: 73194"] Thank you all for your answers. It turns out that when I install a .crx extension in developer mode and then turn developer mode off, auto-update depends on the Chromium variant and the platform. Chromium 96 stable (not ungoogled) on Windows 10: Shows an error message on update, disables the add-on until permissions are re-granted. Kiwi 96 on Android 9 phone: Auto-updates without errors, asks for new permissions Kiwi 96 on Android 5 tablet: Does not try to update, must be updated manually. [/QUOTE]
