Leaving that in is just going to expand the attack surface as time goes on. There’s even a lot of speculation right now about Firefox’s next move is, given that they’re supposedly integrating Brave’s built in system for future testing. Brave’s adblocker bypasses the MV2 nightmare without causing headaches, which I’m pretty sure Waterfox has already figured out and implemented it as well.
It’s tough to predict the future, and over speculating is mostly a waste of time. But, my gut tells me a lot of these smaller forks will eventually have to take the L, swallow their pride, bend the knee, and kiss the ring, because Brave’s engine is incredibly effective as a plug and play solution to a massive industry problem of MV2 adblocking dying.
