There's no guarantee @brave will support Manifest V2 after Google drops it in Chromium (which it already did I think?).
If you really want Manifest V2, use @firefox (or a fork) where its being maintained officially.
@notesnook Well, @brave has stated they will maintain V2 compatibility. What there's really no guarantee of is whether uBlock Origin will continue their Chromium development solely for Brave lol
@jonah @brave 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".
@notesnook The question which #browser to choose is getting harder and harder every year. Which one to use?
#Firefox is at rock bottom, weird new TOS hints at a sad future, possibly no more Google money and they keep loosing market share
All the others are #Chromium based and highly dependent on Google, possibly no more Manifest V2 etc.
#Ladybird is still in development and not usable yet. (But I have high hopes here!)
@MarcRnt @notesnook
Kde Falkon, Gnome web/epiphany, and others
@Szwendacz Thanks for the recommendations. I usually prefer browsers that are cross-platform, but I guess I'll have to accept that this isn't possible any more.
@Szwendacz Oh, KDE Falkon is actually also based on Chromium as it's rendering engine.
Do you mean Konqueror (also from KDE)?
@MarcRnt I mean kde Falkon. It does not support standard extensions anyway, so kinda not affected by the manifest thingy.
@Szwendacz @MarcRnt You can actually write extensions in Python which is pretty cool. I may end up doing my own bookmarks management thing so I can save bookmarks to a markdown file and check them into git.
@notesnook @brave i know is not an easy task, but i think the opportunity and need for a new browser engine can raise (: or im just dreaming...
@oohaSTODON @notesnook @brave @servo is being made, ladybird too
@mayhm @notesnook @brave @servo thanks, did not knew about this, is in rust and looks interesting, will keep an eye on it.

For as long as we’re able (and assuming the cooperation of the extension authors), Brave will continue to support some privacy-relevant MV2 extensions—specifically AdGuard, NoScript, uBlock Origin, and uMatrix
@notesnook @brave please use firefox (or a fork) to avoid the chromium monopoly wich is really bad ( you can find info on web).
Using Brave you will only encourage it cause is based on chromium (Google) tecnology.
@sub @notesnook @brave
Firefox have no forks, so its firefox, or dressed up/down firefox, or something entirely different.
Edit: No maintained forks
