Google tends to slowly choke freedom out of its products, with the latest installment a Chromium commit that finally removes Manifest v2 from the codebase. https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+... I was curious what Brave's take was, since I remember someone at Brave quoted as saying they wouldn't be able to independently maintain a patch-set to retain Mv2. I checked again today, and they have instead done something quite cool! They have brought support for the key Mv2 extensions into the core directly, so they don't need to maintain Mv2 separately. Nice move! https://brave.com/blog/brave-shields-manifest-v3/ It looks like that happened almost a year ago, and I had somehow missed it. Glad to find out now!
