I really hope some team has been following the changes in Chrome/Chromium by Google to remove Manifest v2, and has been keeping a patchset that will undo the damage? Time to make a hard fork and get some funding to try to keep it going?
-
Multiple browsers have said they will keep support while the code is still there (in Chromium it's still there, only disabled for now).
When it is removed from Chromium, it's probably going to disappear for most or all major Chromium browsers.
-
Well I would seriously consider paying money to a team that keeps it there, if Chromium actually removes the code. I hope others will consider it as well. We need to fight this, even if it means paying some money to a foundation to do so.

Use Firefox and you don't need to worry about that. Everything being Chromium comes with a whole lot of different problems.

i expect at least the 'big' 'non megacorp' chromium based ones like vivaldi, opera, brave to keep mv2 as long as it is possible.
but i can totally see google doing some serious mangling of the codebase to make patching-in mv2 difficult.

There's the futile hope I suppose that antitrust cases going on against Alphabet might force Google to divest Chrome from its advertising arm, so that there's no pressure to make this whole thing worse. Hah, in my dreams.

On paper they gave the keys to the Linux foundation, but since they still pay most of the developers working on it the only thing it might achieve is taking resources away from Servo.
-
that would be funny, won't happen--but funny af. google loses chrome, new owners revert mv2's removal and go all-in on user control of their browser experience.
