Unmaintained extensions aren't really a loss. It would just be a bit more time until a user found out the maintainer was MIA. This forces the issue. Anyone that cares at all will have their extension updated by the deadline. I'm not convinced MV3 is the disaster everyone is saying it will be. Gorhill said he's looking into all the uBlock Origin features that he can fit into MV3, and the most recent updates sounded pretty positive. uBO is very likely to live on in MV3. If not, ABP is very positive on MV3, and AdGuard has been the only newer entrant that has impressed me. They'll likely figure out MV3 as well, the only reason to keep one eye on them due to their Russian origins. Who knows what ties may exist with the Kremlin.
