What this effectively means due to Chrome and chromium dependent forks having a major market share is further locking down of the web.
While the security issues that publicly led to the deprecation of manifest v2 are legitimate it is very convenient how neatly it cripples the most capable rendered website modification tool that anyone could have access to for nearly no effort.
