I’m curious how, if at all, this will affect Brave browser who is chromium based but natively bakes in ad block and tracker block. I assume manifest v3 is an API change, so unless Brave uses the API under the hood they should not be affected. But their performance is pretty stellar so maybe they have something more native to achieve this.
EDIT: WOW! checked the bug tracker and manifest V3 announcement goes back to 2018
Brave plans to continue supporting Manifest V2 after Google kills it. For Ungoogled Chromium, however, it’s still undecided, likely depending on whether UG contributors are willing to maintain it.
welp! thanks for laying it out.
