  Manifest v3 will be pushed into Android and the Android Webview component and as such become the standard browser for a lot of people. Android makes it possible to change the Webview to something else but most people just leave it as is. Android also doesn't restrict browser choice like iOS does but most people still go with the last version of Chrome since that is what the device came with. With Firefox being led astray due to its activist CEO deeming it more important to use her position to promote identity politics and other destructive ideologies, Brave tainted by its shady crypto/currency ties and most other Blink-based forks - Bromide, Ungoogled Chromium et al - being marginal players at best and Safari being "the new IE" it is to be expected for Manifest v3 to become the default standard bar the rise of a viable alternative. Where is the new Firefox, or maybe Ouroboros - the snake that eats its own tail in a perpetual cycle of birth, destruction and rebirth - is a better name? Where is the GNU browser engine, built to serve the user instead of its master?

      Ah, yes, I see. Well, it won't for the reasons I stated here. I'll modify my reply to clearly state that I'm talking about Manifest v3 becoming the norm, not any fork of Blink.
