I'm a big fan of Brave. It blocks ads by default
Me too, since their adblock is natively implemented it won't be affected by manifest V3.
Even if its not affected by manifest V3 changes directly, we shouldnt forget what V3 means. It shows the direction that Google wants to take Chromium into, unsurprisingly. Google is an Ad company, making a browser that has ad-blocking or has forks (i.e. Brave) that focus on ad-blocking is against its very core goal. Manifest V3 could just be the start. We dont know what changes they have in mind that could be impossible to evade for comparatively small projects like Brave. Imagine important and big features and security updates shipped with spyware so deeply integrated that only a giant company like Google could implement it while making it impossible for any smaller company like Brave to divide. Brave would be dead over night.
That is not a far-fetched future prediction. But as of now, Brave works just fine. No reason to stop using it now from what might happen. If SHTF, I'll simply download something else.
