Gregory's Server@mav @Fruan I actually don't hate Edge. Its aggressive marketing is a problem, but the browser itself works and seems more performant than Chrome. I acknowledge that Google owns Chromium but they seem not to have a say about whether Edge keeps the old extension framework around, which is telling. I'm mostly a Firefox person but my backup browser was Chrome. Now I guess it'll have to be Edge.

Google does have a say unless Microsoft wants to continue the MV2 implementation themselves. There is a build flag in Chromium to include support now, but once thats gone any downstream browser will have to fend for themselves.  |
@simon @mav @Fruan Microsoft also makes money from ads though, so I would not be shocked if they make the switcheroo in Edge as well.
Heck, if anyone, then I suspect that Vivaldi would be the last Chromium-based bastion of functional adblockers, aside from maybe some "specialty-distributions" of Chromium that center on privacy, something comparable to Librewolf and Mull.
