Ok, this worked:

❯ rm -r /usr/local/share/jupyter/labextensions/jupyter-matplotlib
❯ jupyter labextension uninstall jupyter-matplotlib       
Uninstalling jupyter-matplotlib from /opt/homebrew/Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.12/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/share/jupyter/lab/extensions

❯ jupyter labextension uninstall jupyter-matplotlib
No labextension named "jupyter-matplotlib" installed
❯ jupyter labextension list
JupyterLab v3.3.2
/usr/local/share/jupyter/labextensions
        @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager v3.0.1 enabled OK (python, jupyterlab_widgets)

But I’m still getting the same error.

~~Do you have an error in the JavaScript console?~~

Oh I see it. jupyter-webrtc could be the culprit. I would suggest creating a new environment without ipywebrtc which does not support ipywidgets 8. If you really want ipywebrtc, you could downgrade to ipywidgets 7.
