You do realize Firefox is going to V3 as well?

Firefox is adding V3 support for compatibility with Chrome but not removing V2 support: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2022/05/18/manifest-v3-in-fi...

That's what they say now, they don't exactly have a good extension record themselves.

I operate some popular extensions and I now maintain a v2 and v3 build (make file). I'd love to nuke the v2 build tasks and only operate in v3. Most users are on Chrome anyway.

If you're lucky, v2 will be kept around for legacy extensions that are rarely if ever updated.

V3 and request modification banned are two different things. The chrome still support request modification in v3 but disallow extension to use it(only allow enterprise policy or whatever to enable it). While firefox don't have plans like this (so far).
