Most Ghacks regulars do not use Chrome as their main browser.

Firefox will continue to support Manifest V2 but also Manifest V3 this means, that Manifest V2 extensions continue to be supported for the foreseeable future. Vivaldi offers plenty of integrated customizations and a mail client, Brave has a good content blocker and a different business model than many other browser makers, and Opera maintains a browser focused on gaming.Īs far as non-Chromium browsers are concerned, there is Firefox, which relies on its own codebase, and Safari, which is maintained by Apple. There are plenty of Chromium-based browsers that offer more than Chrome.

Microsoft with its Edge browser is an example, but it seems that Microsoft Edge will support Manifest V3 only going forward. Only some browser makers have the resources to do something about it. Especially privacy improving and content blocking extensions are impacted by this, and some have suggested that the change is a deliberate move by Google to strengthen its advertising business. Manifest V3 changes core APIs that extensions have used for a long time. With Google's stronghold on Chromium development, all Chromium-based browsers face a tough decision: either follow Google's lead and drop support for Manifest V2, or invest resources in keeping Manifest V2 supported. The introduction of Manifest V3 is just one example of that.
