    Does anyone know how this could affect Brave? I’ve suggested it for non-tech Google Chrome refugees who find Firefox difficult to use.

      who find Firefox difficult to use

      WTF? HOW? How is it difficult to use? It works like any other web browser?!

      There is absolutely nothing difficult to use in Firefox. If anything it’s easier, as most of the settings aren’t arbitrarily hidden to prevent you from changing them. There are also fewer bullshit settings because they aren’t harvesting your data.

      MV3 won’t affect inbuilt ad-blockers such as Brave’s one (or Vivaldi’s, I guess), as those are not extensions. MV3 is exclusively about extensions.

      I’m not a user of brave, but I did a quick Google and it looks like they’re ad blocking will be unaffected. As for other extensions, I think that at least some will be supported for a year, while others may break immediately but I didn’t take too deep TBH
