  "textContent": "GloriousDuck:\n\n> Was looking into this browser, what exactly is the big issue with supporting Manifest v2? Is it just that some extensions can end up being sketchy? Firefox supports it too right?\n\nMV2 on Chromium has hit its end of life. It’s like sticking with Windows 10, the system isn’t going to get updated anymore, and anyone who still has it enabled on Chromium is essentially just running obsolete software that gets more outdated by the day.\n\nAs for Mozilla, they can afford to keep maintaining it because they actually have the money, the infrastructure, and the manpower to do so, not to mention that Gecko is a completely different engine anyway.\n\nI know someone from the brave team had mentioned before that they have some of the extensions hosted on another server for whenever they’re deleted, and maintaining it for right now is pretty much a full time job and they’ve been encouraging people to move away from it.",
