AFAIK some of the other chromium forks (brave and/or edge?) were committed to backporting manifest v2 (or more specifically the webRequestBlocking API) for future chromium versions.
- bjord 3mo agothis is not correct. neither brave nor edge has committed to that. as of yet, there's no (publicly stated) contingency plan if the upstream mv2 code is excised, but I could be mistaken.
- rpdillon 3mo agoBrave has integrated uBO directly into their core logic. Visit brave://settings/extensions/v2 and you can download it, even with no MV2 support. I'm not aware of any other browser adopting this approach.
- eipi10_hn 3mo agoThey said until they can't afford to maintain it.
- rpdillon 3mo agoThe exact misimpression I was trying to counter.
- bjord 3mo agofirefox 149+ actually bundles brave's adblock-rust as well, it just doesn't really use it. waterfox does enable it and use it, though they're still testing (https://github.com/BrowserWorks/waterfox/issues/4182 https://github.com/BrowserWorks/waterfox/issues/4182). all of that being said, I was answering the question about mv2 broadly, not ad blocking.
