On: Google postpones MV2 shutoff in Chrome stable to June 2023

Too late, already switched to brave...

Has Brave announced how they're dealing with this change? I've been using it for years and am generally happy, though I've been trying Orion recently to get vertical tab support.

MV2 should be supported even after the shutoff. As far as ad blocking is concerned, the built-in ad blocker doesn't depend on MV2.

You meant the non enterprise shut off? Brave committed to MV2 as long as it's in Chromium.

They also apparently will stand up their own MV2 store after Google's deprecation is complete.

> During the deprecation period, we can keep this functionality via patch (since it's there for Enterprise). After V2 is pulled from store, we'll need to stand up our own extension store for manifest v2

Complete deprecation means shut off for enterprise. MV2 items will be unlisted before.

Support will be continued.
