Glad to see Mozilla is holding up it's independence on this key issue, whereas Edge chose to implement Google's changes as-is.

There could be a simple explanation for this: Mozilla has its own browser stack whereas Edge is Chrome.

That could be, it's just easier for Edge to follow Google.

They went so far as to write a blog officially taking a position on the issue: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2020/10/14/extension-man...

Another browser that you probably never heard of (Orion Browser) is also holding its independence on this key issue, keeping the support for webRequest API, and on top of WebKit no less. (disclaimer: founder)
