Does this apply to chromium browsers too?

[-] zewm@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Yes. In the article it links to a blog post made by chromium.

Browsers based on chromium do not have to follow exactly what the main branch is doing. If they want to keep supporting MV2 or support different rules for MV3, they can. Albeit it's a bit cumbersome.

Nope. Won't happen to those having inbuillt ad-blocker, as those are not extension and thus aren't affected by MV3.

It depends. It will not affect many of them until 2025 when enterprise support for v2 ends and by then other arrangements and fixes might be. Brave in particular I would not worry yet.

Maybe. Who the fuck knows?
