In a way, you are giving Firefox leeway to do as they want since they are the only thing stopping Chromium's monopoly. That's equally wrong.

Use the better, more secure technology, until we have something better. Don't use Firefox because it's not Chromium - that's definitely not healthy.

There's no guarantee @brave will support Manifest V2 after Google drops it in Chromium (which it already did I think?). by notesnook in c/firefox@fedia.io

@jonah@neat.computer @brave@fosstodon.org manifest V2 is spread all over chromium source. There's definitely a way to maintain it but it'll quickly become a hassle especially between Chromium version bumps. In any case, if they said they'll do it that's still better than nothing.

As for uBlock... I don't think there's anything special to Chromium's version of Manifest V2 that they'll need to support. So it should "just work".

If you really want Manifest V2, use @firefox (or a fork) where its being maintained officially.
