So that means they are just supporting it as long as it is easy to do, and that they are not brave enough to fork chromium.
They're already a fork of Chromium... Also it doesn't matter much since they use the Google extension store, which disabled uBO.
You could probably install and handle a manifest V2 extension by installing the xpi file manually. But as a developer, the users who would actually do this is a small fraction of the previous user base.
So how do you justify your limited manpower to be spent on that increasingly obscure user base? It may as well be removed anyways at that point.
Also like Brave has their own adblocker, I dont think you need ublock origin in Brave
And guess how soon Chromium will break compatibility with v2...
Ha! Ha! The browser name is "Brave" and yet they all have nuts the size of raisins!
