>Vivaldi's latest update shows them deprecating Manifest V2 extensions as well It's over Chromium bros. What do we do now? Will Edge be the only one that will keep Manifest V2 on Chromium using Microsoft's funding or will they also give up? Will Google eventually strong arm Mozilla into dropping it on Firefox and its forks as well?

Anonymous · 2026-07-09 14:22 [#5758][report] >>22164 It's not just about adblocking. Apparently, userscript deploying extensions (whatever they're called, Tamper/Violent/Greasemonkey) are affected as well.
Besides, uBlock Origin isn't just about adblocking either, you can use it to block and bypass all kinds of things.

Anonymous · 2026-07-09 14:29 [#5765][report] Of course Microsoft will yeet it from Edge too eventually. Have you learned nothing you fucking braindead NPCs. Do you really have ZERO pattern recognition?
Anonymous · 2026-07-09 14:31 [#5767][report] >>22167 It's their best chance to give Edge an advantage over other forks (Copilot and other slop doesn't count). You're probably right though, there's no way Microslop would side with the consumers.

Anonymous · 2026-07-09 15:19 [#5793][report] >>22171 chromium forks will probably be able to support mv2 until january 2028 because google's stated commitment to supporting enterprise mv2 chrome apps until then. enterprise chrome is the same codebase with a few feature toggles that the forks are enabling. not surprised vivaldi pozzed itself tho. vivaldi's blocker comes with whitelisted sponsored ads, they don't actually care, privacy is just a marketing term to them.

Anonymous · 2026-07-10 05:17 [#6166][report] I used vivaldi for twitch and some other streaming websites since FF didn't play well with them for some reason, but now userscripts are fucked and twitch bypassers got shot in the head. Opera still supports everything but it's sketchy and feels like active spyware.
What's a good firefox fork? I recall one called librewolf being very security and privacy focused? Is that one good?
Anonymous · 2026-07-10 05:24 [#6173][report] >>22197 >>22198 Biggest problem for me is that a large feature of it is that it FULLY integrates twitch without needing tabs for it, so you get notifications for your streamers on any tab and can watch it on any tab as an overlay, which is nice I guess but it makes it so any adblocking for twitch won't work and you're stuck with their VERY ugly ui.

Anonymous · 2026-07-11 11:53 [#7236][report] >>22208 I doubt it works better. I have an extension that I ported to V3 and all the manifest change really does it heap a bunch more restrictions onto what you want it to do. It brings no benefits to the end user. Reduced access to web content, short-lived workers with no persistence, greater lockdown on dynamic code. Ostensibly it forces extensions to behave better, but in practice it wipes out a bunch of capabilities you actually want your extensions to be able to have.

Anonymous · 2026-07-12 12:11 [#8402][report] All browsers disable it by default for "security". You can bypass it but you are giving up security. It's like running Thorium browser yeah its the fastest browser but its also outdated and full of security holes.
Anonymous · 2026-07-12 12:24 [#8404][report] >>22226 they might remove it at some point, also mv2 support without a mv2 extensions "store" is less than ideal and they already said they don't have resources to maintain one.
I'm thinking on going to a ff fork once they drop support but I've to see if it's still possible to inject an userchrome.js (js not css) on ff.
Anonymous · 2026-07-12 12:28 [#8407][report] >>22228 I doubt any browser even if one should emerge to actually support MV2 long term will have a MV2 extension store. Besides "compiling" an extension from source is laughably easy in any chrom* based browser. Literally just enable dev mode and select source dir. What really sucks is that its not unlikely that all browsers will eventually give up on MV2 legacy support.
Anonymous · 2026-07-12 12:43 [#8413][report] >>22229 And there's already a release page on github to donwload precompiled stuff, but that's not the point, I doubt any browser will maintain mv2 just for people that know how to install extensions from outside the store. And vivaldi team is making pretty clear they won't support it forever.

I've seen anons mention working with it in the past so I assume that it is possible, but I don't really have a use case for it, unlike .css where I've made some really useful changes such as disabling the close (x) button on tabs to prevent misclicks and adding scrollbars to all bookmark folders.
