Over the next 14 months Google will begin blocking third-party software from injecting code in Chrome. They plan on doing this in three phases with the final phase to take effect in January of 2019. The only vendors that will be allowed to do so after that time are Mircosoft, accessibility software and Input Method Editor type-assist software. Lots of antivirus companies use code injection to scan for malware and they are going to have to update their software if they want it to keep working with Chrome.
The search giant recommends that software vendors update their coding methods and use modern Chrome features such as browser extensions or the Native Messaging API, instead of the antiquated practice of code injection.
