For a while now the transition away from Manifest V2 (MV2) to MV3 has been on-going and it looks like it is entering its final phase of deprecation, at least, in the case of Google Chrome. A recent discussion thread in the w3c WebExtensions Community Group GitHub repo has highlighted how the latest and upcoming versions of the most popular browser are expected to be its final releases with support for MV2 extensions.

What this essentially means is that the tricks and bypasses that were used to keep MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin and others alive will not work any more on Chrome, or at least not for very long. For example the Windows Registry mod that could extend MV2 availability will cease to function after Chromium version 151.

    There is no good reasons to use brave

    I use it because it has Tor and Web3 components built-in.

      I would highly recommend to NOT interact with the deep-web with anything other than an unaltered actual Tor client.

      Especially not with a client as untrustworthy as brave. (I used to be a brave fan too before i learned)

        True. For dark web anonymity brave has too unique a fingerprint. I just use Tor as a low bandwidth vpn.

      So, you agree there’s no good reasons to use it, thanks.

      If you want Tor use Tor. And if you need Web3… that is a legit use of Brave
