Isn't every chromium browser going to lose manifest v2 eventually, causing the real ublock origin to stop working?
I don't know about every Chromium-based browser, but I can tell you that I went back to Firefox and regret nothing (I was on Brave). Firefox has gotten a lot better lately, especially on desktop. For example, they added a native auto-PiP option, which is super helpful for those of us who watch YouTube/videos while flipping through tons of tabs.
I'm using Vivaldi, and ublock origin seems to be still working for me.
June 2025 is when manifest v2 is supposed to die for good. I think the issue is that it's not really possible for Vivaldi or Microsoft or whoever to keep the code in there long term even if they wanted to.
